It starts as early as the Unfixed Prologue, the claim that Julia has died twice. And it doesn’t stop there....

The unlikely duo: (Wo)man of faith, man of science
I’m gonna say something real controversial here: I love the TV show LOST. Don’t get me started on the ending. Its depth of character and its twisty plot, that everything doesn’t tie up in a tidy bow....like how could I not? One beautiful refrain of the story is the “Man of faith, Man of science”. Those who buy into the mystery and those who look for something logical instead. And of course, in its own way, Unfixed has some similarities in its unlikely duo.... Today on my blog, get a sneak peek into these characters and the mysteries they encounter....
Meet Max: investigator of the vanishing circus
Max snuck up on me. I started writing a story about impulsive, naïve Julia running away to the circus. And as I’m writing about the troupe's plan “For freedom,” I got interrupted by this guy investigating a circus that disappeared, and I had no idea why he was there, let alone anything about a disappearing circus.
Ready to read another circus book?
It's been a long time coming. You've heard me talking about my circus book as long as I've had this blog. Unfixed (what I've endearingly called "my circus book") has finally got a launch in site. In the coming months I'll be sharing all about it as we get ready for launch. In the meantime, here's where it's at...
4 pandemic reads from author friends
During the pandemic, some people hunkered down to ride out the storm and just tried to get by. (To be clear, I am "some people" here.) Others found opportunity - or made opportunity - amidst it. *intercom voice* These are those people, and these are - literally - their stories. If you've been waiting around for my new book, or if you've been devouring every story in sight the past 2 years and need something fresh, have I got a post for you.....
A different kind of mystery
I think we can all agree that I like weird books, or at least, weird-adjacent ones. Staying neatly within all the genre conventions, not exactly my thing; blending genres, even better. When I began reading my friend Andy Zach's new book (or, newer book...he publishes faster than I can read!), I just knew I needed to do a post about different sorts of mysteries, mysteries told a little differently than all the books you first would see on the "Mystery" genre section of Amazon or your favorite bookshop. This is that post....
The Flower Letters: a different way to story
I always love finding and learning about different story structures. So when I heard about The Flower Letters, I had to snag it up. Receive a story in the mail over the course of a year, in the medium of letters the characters write (plus bonus fun things like stickers and newspaper articles and such that broaden the story world more!) Check out the most recent mailing I received in this post...
