(This post was written over the course of a few weeks.) I read Kate Elliott’s SPIRIT GATE a few years ago when it first came out, and have had the sequels sitting on my shelf for over a year, unread because (as I may have mentioned previously) being a full-time writer (and Mommy!) really cuts into your reading time. So I wanted to re-read SPIRIT GATE before tackling the other two, ’cause I barely remembered what had happened in it. I liked it even better the second time through, which…

Sigh.
This week I have unintentionally but thoroughly proven that I will not get up at 5:30am to exercise.

I have perhaps unreasonably high standards for…
B&N! Amazon! SubPress! Raven Calls!

(Apparently the whole week is, actually, looking at what I’ve already posted…but anyway!) “Easy Pickings” is now available as a Kindle book AND as a Nook Book! I am VERY EXCITED about this. VERY excited. No, really, I am, because all my crowdfunding aside, this is my first foray into actual self-publishing beyond the scope of the crowdfunded projects, and I’m very, very interested and excited to see how it goes.
