My First Collection

Imaginings

We celebrated my 25th anniversary in fiction and DAW with a collection of my short stories for you. I’ve added notes to each and, bonus? There’s an all-new Night’s Edge novella! Cover and interior design by Roger H. Czerneda.

My Latest SF

To Each This World
To Each This World

I went big in my latest science fiction standalone (my new aliens included) to explore what I find most intimate and precious about us. Community. Curiosity and imagination. Above all, the drive to understand what isn’t us at all.

More Marrowdell!

A Change of Place
A Change of Place

Jenn Nalynn. The truthseer, Bannan Larmensu. House toads galore and, of course, the return of Wisp, a most-opinionated dragon. Those you (and I) loved from A Turn of Light are back, with more wonder, wild magic, and surprises!


News! Tantor Media has announced the publication date for A Change of Place (Mar 11/25), narrated by Jen Jayden!!!!! WHOOO!

My March

I’m going over galleys, the final “these are the book pages” step for A Shift of Time. It looks wonderful, reads well (thanks to my DAW editor, Madeline Goldberg) and I’m very proud. The book gets in your hands July 22, 2025!!
Meanwhile, my spring and summer involve writing my next novel of Night’s Edge. And gardening. Camping prep, oh yes, because despite the snow cover, the birds are returning. Love this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere!
