WAG Topic #30: “Broken”. This week write about something broken: toys, bones, hearts: it can be anything that just doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to any more. Your piece can be as long or short as you want, using any form you... 
I’ve heard several authors talk about world-building recently. If you write any type of speculative fiction, you gotta do it, and if you want readers to come back for more, you gotta pay attention.
For my current paranormal series (of which Ordinary Angels is the first), I have three types of supernatural creatures: angels, demons, and faeries. Only two of the three have showed up by the end of Book...

Today just some quick news:
An interview! Find out some truly strange things about me over at Virtual Onion today! What would I tell aliens about my book? What if I were trapped in an elevator with a cupcake?

I’ve started the editing process on Ordinary Angels, my new paranormal novel (out from Lyrical Press, Spring 2011), and people ask me all the time how it’s going. It’s difficult to describe in terms that would make sense to most people. I’m sure most publishing houses have their own processes, but for me, the first process was a thorough scrubbing.
I’m surprised at how much...

WAG Topic #28: “The Little Things”. Sometimes a small, unexpected thing has the power to affect big changes. This week write about something simple: a little thing that has the power to cause a big change in events, mood, or decisions. It can be an... 
I'm a lot of other things, but mostly I'm a writer. I like books with fast action, scary killers, fantasy worlds, and smutty sex. Maybe even all four at once. My novel Ordinary Angels debuts from Lyrical Press in April 2011. To read about my other projects, click the My Fiction page. To get in touch with me, click Contact India and send me an email.
