Consent is Magical

If you have been reading the Reg Rawlins, Psychic Detective series, you probably noticed that the first few books have explored the issue of consent from a unique viewpoint.

Fiction about Sexual Abuse of Boys/Men

I have had discussions in a couple of writers’ communities lately about the topic of the sexual abuse of men and boys, some of the myths that surround it, and giving men/boys “permission” to speak about sexual abuse on an equal footing with women/girls.

Have a Non-Romantic Valentine’s Day

This year, I wanted to do something a little bit different again. I wanted to focus on characters who were asexual or aromantic. But in searching for them, I kept running up against books that were about sexual relationships and romance, but from or including an ace/aro perspective or character.

What is Kabedon?

This week, in one of my writing groups, the subject of Kabedon came up. Not something I had ever heard of before, so I won’t assume that you have either. Kabedon is a new trend in Japanese courtship, popularized in manga and anime. Kabe-don (“wall punch”) is the act of the man slapping his hand on the wall next to the woman, pinning her in position by his proximity. He may place only one hand on the wall, or one hand on either side of her so that she is encircled by his arms. He leans in very close to talk to her.

What the Cat Knew and other new releases

I’m really excited to introduce a new mystery series to you. Many of you have been enjoying the Auntie Clem’s Bakery cozy mystery series. In Coup de Glace, you met Erin’s foster sister, Reg Rawlins. She was such a fun character to write, she needed her own series.

Having left Vermont, Reg has taken her fortune telling act to Florida, where there is a thriving paranormal community. Black Sands is different than anywhere she’s ever lived before…
