Hey, folks.
I won. I’m going to be published.
My short story Inferna won first place in the Bloody Parchment anthology competition, and will be published along with some amazing authors. Read all about it here. Release date to be announced.
As if I needed more reason to dance through the day, first place also means that the fabulous Nerine Dorman will be editing a novel-length work for me. Hm. We don’t know about any novels here, do we…?
This has been such an incredible morning. Waking up to Nerine’s email was unreal. I had to read it three times before I believed it, and then proceeded to flood inboxes and cell phones with excited, caps lock-ridden messages. It’s remarkable to think that it’s beginning. This is my dream becoming reality.
Thank you all for being here to share it. I’m so grateful for all of you, and to the other writers that will be in this anthology, to the judges, and especially to Nerine. I’m not going to be able to wipe the smile off of my face for weeks, and I’ll probably be dancing periodically throughout the day.



CONGRATULATIONS!!!! We should celebrate sometime soon
I approve of this. Text me. I have a more stable schedule now.
*Additional SQUEE! of excitement* Brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! I have no words because all my brain power is overwhelmed with glee!
Thank you! I feel like I’m floating! Maybe I should eat something solid before 2 in the afternoon, eh?
Congrats!
Thanks!
GLORY BE YOU ‘STINA!
HappyDance, HappyDance!
