My house is quiet once again. Alas, all my people have gone back north, which means that in the silence, my characters have started to chatter, getting ready to throw themselves out of my brain/heart and onto the page.
I am not unaware of how blessed I am to have this job—I get to make up awesome people,
All the Thanksgiving fun!
Happy Thanksgiving! Not sure if I’m going to get a Friday e-mail out so I wanted to shoot you a note today. I mean really, who looks at our emails on Friday? Except if there’s deals. I’m all about the Black Friday Deals!
Last weekend I scooted down to Iowa to hang out with my daughter who is expecting.
A glimpse at the mess…
I’m at it again.
Spent this week plotting a new book. I’m currently working on IRIS, book 4 in the Minnesota Marshalls series, and oh, this is a fun one. The little hint I’ll give you is that I’m using this book for research…

It doesn’t have to be over…

Heads up for the Great Pumpkin!

TWENTY audio book chapters of Brandon Sanderson’s Oathbringers. 4 nutty bars, a bag of Cheetos and McDonalds… (I don’t know why I eat like a teenager when I travel. It’s like a Pavlovian response.
