Anime North Schedule!

Roomy and I are off to Toronto for Anime North! If you're there and would like to chat writing, storytelling or just, you know, chat, you can find me here:

The Co-Creative Process

Friday at 2000 (8:00 pm) in Ottawa (International Plaza)

Working as part of a creative team to meet your deadlines without ending up dead!

Collecting: When is Enough Too Much?

Saturday at 1400 (2:00 pm) in Ottawa (International Plaza)

A frank discussion about managing a collection, including budgeting, defending your collection, and letting go.

Paper to eBooks

Saturday at 1500 (3:00 pm) in Ottawa (International Plaza)

An apparently simple change, but everything changed. A panel of authors reveal the far reaching implications of this new distribution channel.

Business of writing

Saturday at 1600 (4:00 pm) in Ottawa (International Plaza)

So you wrote it. Now how do you make money with it? How could you keep doing so and make a livelihood from hitting your keyboard?

Help! I've run out of space!

Saturday at 2300 (11:00 pm) in Ottawa (International Plaza)

Let's talk about curating, displaying, and enjoying a collection.

I'll also be at Roomy's panels, playing technical support. Check out her schedule.

I just noticed that all of my panels are in the Ottawa room. Ha ha! That's awesome. And fitting.

Hope to see you there!

Final Cover Reveal! The End of the End is... Nigh.

Coming soon, the end of the saga that became a bestseller in Canada, the U.S. and Italy!

The flames ignited on the cover of book one break into embers, ashes and smoke on the cover of book five. And so all good (and terrifying) things must come to an end. Don't miss the ending of the fairy tale that ended our world!

"The First Great Serialized Novel of 2015." - Black Gate Magazine

Nigh - Book 5

The world didn’t end.

It shifted. Adapted. Changed.

Everything Alva Viola Taverner has ever understood or known is gone. She’s a mechanic in a world of magic and faeries, where gears long ago turned to rust and dust. Only one thing now matters: surviving long enough to save those she considers her family.

But when the world itself is destroyed by the fairy tale, can there be a happily ever after?

Nigh 4 is Now Available!

I could not be more proud of this book, partly because I KICKED FAERIE BUTT TO GET IT OUT! This is the fourth of a serialized novel. The fifth is coming out in just three weeks, and I can't wait to share the end with you. Remember: Once upon a time, there were no more happy endings.

_____

With the hopes of the faerie realm turned to dust, Alva Viola Taverner and Hector Henry Featherson strike the final blow to the veil between worlds, shattering it and returning them to the human realm.

But one hundred years has passed for humanity, and things have changed. The world awaiting them now bears larger teeth and sharper claws, and it hungers for much more than their lives.
