A Personal Post for Bullying Awareness Week

Years ago, horrified by the stories of teens bullied to death and hoping to make a difference, two young adult authors, Megan Kelley Hall and Carrie Jones invited other authors to contribute to a volume which came to be called DEAR BULLY: Seventy Authors Tell Their Stories. It’s one of the most amazing things I’veContinue reading “A Personal Post for Bullying Awareness Week”

So much excitement!

There’s so much excitement going on this week that I’m bursting with news! Check it: Amy Christine Parker appeared this week on Tampa Bay’s Morning Blend in association with yesterday’s Teen Author Festival at the SouthShore Regional Library in Ruskin. I hope to find time to write up a full report on that soon, but long storyContinue reading “So much excitement!”

Release week!

I must have started today’s blog a dozen times, because it’s difficult to think of much else right now beyond concern over the direction our country is headed. (For the record, I’m choosing activism over acceptance. For those like-minded, I’m happy to supply this link of “pro-women, pro-immigrant, pro-Earth, anti-bigotry organizations” you might consider supporting.)Continue reading “Release week!”

Happy Election Day, Happy Release Day!

Happy Election Day! At least, I hope that it will be a happy election day. Signs are good. Time will tell. The alternative…doesn’t bear thinking about. So get out there and vote, hopefully for progress rather than regress. For positivity instead of hate, misogyny, bigotry, bullying.  Well, I think you all know my stand byContinue reading “Happy Election Day, Happy Release Day!”

New Urban Fantasy releases!

First, if you missed the trick-or-treaters last night (or just want a fast, run read), check out my story in the Coastal Magic Halloween Flash Fiction event. I had a blast writing it, and if it’s one third as much fun to read…well, you get the point! In other news, Barnes & Noble called N.K. Jemisin’s THE FIFTHContinue reading “New Urban Fantasy releases!”

Freebie!

Chiming in quickly before I run off to the World Fantasy Convention (and the award ceremony where I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed that N.K. Jemisin will win the Best Novel award for THE FIFTH SEASON, which is beautiful, unique and heartbreaking) to let you know about a wonderful freebie novella in Michelle Belanger’s ShadowsideContinue reading “Freebie!”

Author-me: Video Interview

I was privileged to be interviewed at Pinellas Comic and Maker Con by Scott Ertz and Marissa Schiereck at Plughitzlive.com, and I’m pleased to present it here!  The new book I mention in the interview, releasing November 15th, is FAULTLINES. It’s very near and dear to my heart, and I suspect you’ll be hearing aContinue reading “Author-me: Video Interview”
