We were running in the slushy snow of the Henry’s Fork Greenway, and the shadows shifted. The late afternoon was casting the trees northeast, but they were circling, and moving. As we ran past Henry Twofeathers, the bronze trapper statue that sits in the middle of the trail a half-mile in, a lump of darkness moved around its base. And began chasing me. I knew it wasn’t real. I knew it wasn’t. But I smelled the ragged animal stink of it as it got closer, and the hot breath on my neck as it leapt. I shoved Julio out of the way and turned to face it, but nothing was there. Julio growled. Slowly I turned back. His face was elongated. There was snow-wet fur around his teeth, which stretched, jagged and curved, from black gums. I took a deep breath, shut my eyes tight, and opened them again, just in time to see his face smooth back into its usual chiseled features. He was staring at me, perturbed. And a little angry. “What the hell, man?” He brushed the muddy snow off his sleeve. “I just put this through the wash.” “Sorry,” I gasped. We continued, but my knees were shaking so badly, I could only get about another half mile in. I turned around and walked back home, my neck hair standing on end every time a shadow shifted. Like it?

Messing around with concept art. Because Fire in the Wall is technically magical realism/ dramatic fantasy (though I market or YA Urban Psych Thriller mashup) I thought I'd try something artsy. I don't think I'll use it, in the end, but it's fun, right? Haven't read this book yet?

“Enough!” Hans roared. He reached across the table and grabbed Eap’s lapels. “At least I have the decency to court women my own age! And let me remind you that by the time I passed from that world—” “Oh Lord,” Eap muttered, his eyes glazed over, not even bothering to tear himself from Hans grasp. “Here it is again.” “ . . . I was so beloved, so revered—” “That they made a statue of you in the city square,” Eap finished for him. “I wonder how many pigeons relieve themselves on your weak chin every day?” Hans grabbed a chunk of Eap’s hair and shook him, and Eap chuckled blackly—it was like the chuckles were shaken from him with each jerk of his coat.

Ok, guys! The launch party is over, and so I'm going to leave it with a huge, please buy my book! You will not be sorry. Blurb: Logan sees things that aren't real. Sexy things. Disturbing things. Dangerous things. His offbeat, artistic roommate Lil claims his visions are real. And one dark and thunderous night, she proves it by walking through a huge, fiery crack in the basement wall. Not only do people think he's crazy now, they blame him for her disappearance. Logan has two choices: accept that he is a danger to those around him and that his best friend is gone forever... or he can follow Lil into his nightmares. Ok, now back to my regularly scheduled randomness of gardening, bulk mothering, weird Pinterest finds, silly memes, short fiction with yoinked photos, and nail art. #fireinthewall #bookstagram #epicfantasy #urbanfantasy #authorsofinstagram #amwriting #bookbaby #ididit #celebrations https://www.instagram.com/p/BuLGQIQnyPi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rbgtfxjy3qhg

“Move,” Lil said, shoving him aside. She closed her eyes tight. “Back up. Against the cliff, Lo.” I obeyed her, pressing my body to the pink sandstone, and watched with growing horror as a furry body formed, long and large as a semi-truck. Its jointed, fat, hairy legs clung to the side of the plateau. It’s huge, faceted eyes fixated on me. Its airplane-sized wings, bright rainbow colors with black framing, almost like stained glass, fluttered up a breeze that threatened to send me over the edge. A sunset moth. From Madagascar. About the size of a commercial jet liner. “Great, Lil,” I said weakly, as the giant, glittering moth climbed toward us. “Really?” “Meet Mr. Smiley. He’s going to let us ride him. Aren’t you, boy?” Lil patted a leg-segment as long as she was tall and ran her fingers through the hair that covered its body, gleaming with bright, iridescent colors. The wings were almost like a holographic image—every shade in the rainbow. Pre-order #Fireinthewall by clicking the link in my bio!
