Join us as we learn more about Hazel West’s new book – Scars of War!
Salve!
Today we have a special feature for one of my best author friends – Hazel West. Hazel and I have worked together before, beta reading for several of my and her novels. So of course I offered to help her out on her book tour for her latest novel, Scars of War! It’s the 3rd novel in her Modern Tales of Na Fianna series.
Where I remind myself that turning the internet off can be incredibly beneficial!

Learn more about how I use Google Docs to outline my novels!
Hi everyone!
I briefly wanted to tell you about how I’ve been planning my last two novels. Ever since I started writing, I’ve been planning my novels out.

Not much to report today, other than the fact that editing has so far netted me about 250 more words – one of the challenges with picking up a novel after leaving it for so long has been to actually remember where I was when I typed the first part! No worries, it will get there!

Let’s aim to get this again this year!
Hi Everyone, and Happy Easter!
I know I’m a few days late on this (Vacation will do that too you!) but here’s the link to my giveaway on the Steampunk Journal website. The giveaway is complete, but they have a month of steampunk-related giveaways and news, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you how wonderful they are to work with.
Special Thanks to Matt over there for all his help, and congrats to the winner, Muriel from Brazil (Something about Brazilians make them really love the novels!)
If you’re sad you didn’t win, mosey on over and purchase Brass Legionnaire or any of my other novels for yourself! Action, excitement, daring steampunky Roman goodness in the air, on land, and now with included sea battles! (Yay!).
