Key Aspects... pirate shipskick arse sirensforgotten memoriespotential romancegods & mortals working together I'm sure you've guessed by now that I'm Kaitlin Bellamy's biggest nerdiest fan so naturally I loved every second of the third Mapweaver novel, Wayfinder. Fox's journey from young boy desperate to join his…
I received a text the other day from a friend, asking how you begin outlining & planning a novel. Since I've already begun word vomiting everything I know onto her, I thought I might as well write a blog post for all of you as well. There are a number of structures you can follow…
Tell us a little about yourself & your background A wild, red-headed six-year-old girlchild belongs to me, and my husband is his royal majesty, King of the Geeks.

Tell us a little about yourself & your background I’m a South African-based creative operating out of a log cabin on stilts (aka the Treehaus). No. Really. I don’t have a career, as such, but I turn my hand to whatever job pays, be it typesetting educational manuals, editing a dark SF erotic romance novel…
