ROAR OF SKY is out today!
TODAY IS THE DAY! Roar of Sky is out! The Blood of Earth trilogy is complete. Look for it on your local bookstore shelves–and if you can’t find it there, ask them to order it! You can also find it everywhere online. Poisoned Pen currently has signed copies in stock, too! Thank you to everyone who preordered there and elsewhere!
If you want to ask me questions about the series or my other books and stories or recipes, I am doing a reddit/Fantasy AMA today. Drop by and say hi!
After you read it, please leave reviews on Amazon, Goodreads, and other sites, and talk about it on social media. Word of mouth means a lot, especially for a brand new release.
Again, thank you to everyone who has read this series. I hope you enjoy the finale of Ingrid’s adventures.

Read MoreHere, There, Everywhere: Wings of Sorrow and Bone
Whew! This published author gig involves a lot of juggling (and not the literal kind, or everything would go splat in my face for sure). I’ve been balancing edits and promo for my novella and news on other submissions and life stuff in general. My husband’s co-workers were actually asking after my health because I hadn’t sent along cookies for two weeks.
Here’s where I’ve been on the interwebs as I spread the word about “Wings of Sorrow and Bone”:
– Gremlins in the Clockwork Dagger novella at SFSignal
– Getting the Submissions Call for The Clockwork Dagger, at Michelle Hauck’s site
– Writing a Novella: Wings of Sorrow and Bone, at Dan Koboldt’s site
– Katherine Harbour interviews me about “Wings of Sorrow and Bone”
– How I wrote a novella in 4 easy (?) steps at Auston Habershaw’s site
– Rivka and the Gremlins in Wings of Sorrow and Bone at Books by Centeno
– Interview at I’m Shelf-ish about Wings of Sorrow and Bone
The novella remains a mere 99-cents at all major ebook vendors, too, like Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
Read MoreRelease Day! I am Everywhere!
YOU GUYS. The book is out and through the miracle of the internet I have duplicated myself to be on All the Web Sites to promote the release. Actually, all these links are proof of months of work but that’s all really boring to talk about. There is so much love out there because I’m totally ignoring the haters as much as I can. My feelings are so deep and complicated, I can only express myself in cat gifs.
Ahem. That done, here’s the full proof of my presence everywhere!
First of all, today I have an Ask me Anything on reddit/Fantasy! Drop by and ask me questions. There’s also still an open topic on Goodreads where you can pose questions for the Sword and Laser broadcast.
My friend Lauren the Flute recorded a gorgeous rendition of “Pure Land” from the Secret of Mana soundtrack in honor of my book’s release!

I also had a post at SF Signal with Developing Miss Percival as a Sympathetic Villain.
I was interviewed by the East Valley Tribune about my books and Phoenix Comicon.
Whew. I think that’s it. Things are crazy here right now. My son finishes up his 4th grade year today. Tomorrow is my 15th anniversary. I’m trying to edit a few stories and work on promotional stuff for Crown‘s release. I only have a few days left to prepare for Phoenix Comicon.
YES. I CAN DO THIS. …Right?
