So I got married two weeks ago. In Costa Rica. (!!!)
My incredible wedding photographer-slash-good friends (a married couple) took this photo. They came over last night to hang out and show us the slideshow.
After the wedding, we went to Nicaragua, and on a jungle river cruise (where we saw ...

New Beginnings!
It’s been a crazy few weeks…
My fiancé and I are moving into a new apartment, and even though I’ve moved between cities before, I think this might be the most challenging move I’ve ever done. Largely this is because we’re getting entirely new furniture (most of which has required either delivery ...

The Best Laid Plans…
So in between working on the sequel to “The Liberty Box” (which doesn’t yet have a name)… oh, and planning a wedding (getting married in two weeks!!) and moving into a new place this weekend, I was supposed to release a book under my real name on naturopathic medicine.
I thought this would be no ...

What Star Wars and Harry Potter Have in Common
When I was about 23 (give or take a year), I thought I’d made a discovery that NOBODY ELSE in the ENTIRE WORLD had ever noticed before:

Researching “The Liberty Box”: The Vaccinia Vector
As with the “Piercing the Veil” trilogy, I’ve done a lot of research for “The Liberty Box” series. Some of it made it into the book, and quite a lot of it did not (in fact a good bit fell by the wayside a few versions of the book ago). From May 2014 through about December 2014, I did a lot of ...

Book Launch Strategies for Self-Published Authors
This past Sunday I released “The Liberty Box,” the first in my second series, and my fourth novel overall. All four have been self-published. (If you’re curious to know why I went that route, check out my Authors of Passion podcast interview below — I go into it a good bit!)
