Vinland Saga – A Defense of Season 2
So, I want to take a moment to talk about Vinland Saga, because as a fan of the manga I believe it’s one of the greatest exercises in storytelling that I’m aware of. The anime just started it’s second season, and it’s getting some beef in the comments section. You see, the piece of the…
Young Adult Novel Graceless Goes Big
The Gift of Grace series has always been good. This young adult series was rated as a hidden gem by reviewers as soon as it was released. It’s had some problems, though. Not in terms of the quality of the books–we still believe it’s some of the best urban fantasy out there. But in terms…
Can you help me out?

The Nightmare Before Thanksgiving
As an urban fantasy action-adventure author, I’m always trying to draw from my real life experience to fuel my fiction. I’m not sure if Esther and I’s voyage to LosCon is making that list–but it may end up in a horror story at some point. So it’s Wednesday, November 24, and the two of us…
A Tale of Two Adaptations
So, Esther and I sat down to watch the big mid-November geek releases from Amazon Prime and Netflix. We’re geeks of many flavors, not just urban fantasy action-adventure. We started with Amazon’s Wheel of Time adaptation. Now, let me start by saying two things. First off, I love me some Robert Jordan. I was always…
What’s up, Orycon?
Life’s been rough for us fantasy authors these last couple of years. A convention – a live, in-person, science fiction convention – is, for me, the equivalent of Geek Church. It’s where I come to re-invigorate myself. To work with other authors, and find authors to work with me. To interact with my fans directly,…
Looking for more ebook treats to start your holidays right?
I hope you had a delightful Halloween full of great costumes and fantastic times. This weekend, between all the sugar-fueled hijinks, Frog and I finished polishing the final chapters of GRACELESS, book four in our urban fantasy series. We’re so close to sending it off to our editor. Halloween and Yule have always been two of my favorite holidays. Times when it’s…
