BTLN Chapter Chapter 33

This should have been up 3 days ago, but I lost time due to a migraine, too much smoke (I'm a delicate flower, people), and an energy vampire. I promise you'll get another chapter this week. <...

TBR of DOOM, Books I didn't skim through edition

So I've slowly been reading again, but it's still been really hit and miss. I went from "extreme editing brain mush" to "anxiety brain" because of book release stuff and then straight into meltdown...

Printer Error on Rough Around the Hedges

The week a book comes out is really busy and a wee bit stressful. Most of it is good stress! But some of it is...not. Events go awry, bookmarks don't show up or are damaged, bookstores that promise...

BTLN Chapter 32

Sorry to make you wait so long for this chapter, but I realized that right after the cliff hanger last week, I needed to go over and check on the characters holding the veil. I felt if I posted jus...

BTLN Chapter 31

You have all been so patient and how do I reward you? A chapter that is very cliffhanger-y. I'd say I was sorry, but I'm not. However, I finished edits both on Rough Around the Hedges (which is now...

Snippet of Red in Tooth and Claw

Red in Tooth and Claw Snippet

Hey friends--I'm desperately holding on to the idea that in 4 days, I'll be on my writing retreat and get to focus on one thing and not be interrupted every ten seconds. Yesterday I had my mom text...

Today's Research and a Question for You

One of the thing I like about being a writer is getting to research a lot of random things. For example, today I'm editing Red in Tooth and Claw, which my editor has dubbed as an "anti-historical W...

Team Necromancer Text Exchange

I wanted to post something new and fun this week, but I've been too overloaded to do an entire chapter. And honestly, I'm glad I did this? The text exchanges are so fun and this one does a call bac...

BTLN Chapters 1-30

So it turns out the compiled version of Big Trouble, Little Necromancer was missing chapter 8. *sighs* So here's a new one WITH chapter 8 as well as chapter 30. Sorry about that!

Wee Snippet to celebrate RATH

Just a small piece from Vanessa's POV. Enjoy!

Inexplicably my eyes teared up and I was suddenly overwhelmed with feelings. I hated feelings. They were the opposite of helpful.

Answer sheet from the audiobook contest

For those that did the contest and wanted to see which ones you guessed right, I've put them all below. I didn't use all of these I don't think, but also didn't want to go back and see what ones I ...

BTLN Catch Up Post

Hey friends--I finished my Rough Around the Hedges edits last night at like one AM and am today a very tired Lish. I'm taking the rest of the day off after a ton of admin this morning, but I'll be ...
