Miss Fitz’s Classroom of Arcane Magics takes the Gold

August 3, 2025

I’m excited that my little middle-grade novel tickled the judges enough to win the Gold medal in middle-grade fantasy at the President’s Book Awards at the Florida Authors and Publishers Association. If you notice my expression, I was worried where my photographer was.

I had a great time, as we had a great table to mingle with and spend dinner talking.

Daytona Beach Directory of Covens

February 2, 2025

Daytona Beach Directory of Covens
Book Five of the DRC Files

The episodes continue for Kristen and the DRC team as they go up against a renegade coven who are willing to kill to get their way.

Starting off at a drive-in church in Daytona Beach felt like a fun place to open this episode. Kristen gets to learn a little more about the Consociation before they return to the winter paradise and stand against the coven. As always, hope you enjoy.

Multiverse 2024

October 31, 2024

As always, Multiverse was a blast. Their new location is huge and we had some amazing panels!

If you’ve been to Multiverse, you know the vibe. If you haven’t, then join us next year for the funnest community out there. It’s safe for everyone and built that way. I had opportunites to make some new friends, and meet up with a slew of people that I know.

The panels were so much fun as we dug into topics you never see at conventions, though I got to moderate a Dr. Who panel where we focused on some of the newer developments over the past few seasons.

Dragon Con 2024

September 3, 2024

This con is always a blast, and I got to meet some new people (Shane and DJ) along with panelling beside people I’ve known for years such as Milton Davis.

I spent most of my time at High Fantasy Track with Jennifer and Jimmy Liang, but I did get a chance to jump into one Urban Fantasy panel over at the Weston and meet up with Jennifer Morris.

Looking forward to whatever next year brings!

Award-winning Atlanta’s Guide to Cryptids

September 3, 2024

First I accepted the award from Florida Authors and Publishers Association for Golid in Adult Fiction: Fantasy/Occult (paranormal) in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. That was fun though it made for a long day with having to race home ahead of hurricane Debby!

Next, Atlanta’s Guide to Cryptids got a five star review and then an Honorable Mention from Reader’s Choice awards in Fiction – Paranormal category. I won’t be able to attend the ceremonies in Miami as I have convention booked that weekend. Please – no more hurricanes.

Honorable Mention is technically fifth in the category — still pleased.

ConCarolinas 2024

June 24, 2024

This con was a blast!

I’m a little late on posting but I had a great time. The panels were on fire and I got to meet some new people all around. DRC Files were the most popular series on my table though Khimmer Chronicles sold well too.

Word of South

April 30, 2024

Word of South was amazing!

Being so close to home I got to meet up with friends like Pete from the Crumbox – an infamous character in the Khimmer Chronicles since he suggested Ahnjii’s location.

Music, art, and tons of bookstores and authors! I couldn’t imagine a happier place.

JordanCon 2024

April 30, 2024

This was possibly one of my favorite JordanCons!

First I got to help my Klingon mate teach a fine crew how to make book hedgehogs, then I was off to sign anthologies which support the Mayo Clinic, then staff the Authors Workshop Track where we help writers with reviews and hands-on activities. Best ever.

Coastal Magic Convention 2024

February 28, 2024

This is a new favorite convention with a hundreds of readers who love to talk about books and writing! The panels were a blast and everyone was having fun. Met some great people and reconnected with a few. I hope to be invited back again next year!
