A Change of Place

My newest fantasy novel from DAW Books is out!!!
Welcome back to Marrowdell, a magical valley of
family and pie, dragons and, yes, house toads. All seems well.
The toad queen has other ideas. She’s waited a long time for just the right moment, this spring’s equinox, when everything will be ready for her to make her move against the edge.

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.

Back to Marrowdell!

My December

All our very best wishes to you and yours this holiday season. Our tree’s up, the dragons are lit, and I’m baking up a storm. (Literally, flour everywhere!)
Am I writing? Nope. I’m reading. C.J. Cherryh and Jane Fancher’s Alliance Unbound at this moment (my reward book for turning in my latest novel) AND LOVING IT!
