Posted on January 14, 2022September 16, 2023 by Frog

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…

What’s up, Orycon?

Posted on November 13, 2021December 11, 2021 by Frog

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,…
