On Writing: Journey Into the Shadow Realm


I've been frequently asked about my writing process and yet realized that I haven't written about this process here on my own blog. *head desk*  So in an effort to remedy this oversight I have decided to share with you a sneak peek of where I write and how I prepare myself.

On a typical day I can be found traipsing through the magical forest where I live, armed with notebook and writing pen, accompanied by my trusty corgi side-kick.  I find that I am most productive while on one of these writi...

Someone fed the birds...





















 Oh dear.  Did I not warn you all against feeding the birds?  Apparently one of my guests did not heed my warning.  Now the shadow servants shall have their hands full until midnight when my ravens return to regular size.  *sigh*  I do believe I need a strongly brewed cup of tea!  Perhaps I can coax the rose goblins into making a pot or two while my shadows are busy.

Virtual Book Release Party!

Hello everyone!  Let's adjourn to the parlor where the shadow servants have brewed us a steaming pot of tea and have laid out some lovely finger sandwiches.  Oh, but do be a dear and don't feed the birds.  They have a nasty habit of perching on my guests and whispering all my secrets.  Naughty birds!   

Ah, but it is time.  Let the festivities begin!

Today is the official release of my new book of paranormal poetry Shadows of Myth and Legend.  To celebrate I have some goodies to give away...

Paranormal Romance Guild Review of Shadows of Myth and Legend

April is National Poetry month and to celebrate the Paranormal Romance Guild book review team selected my new book of paranormal poetry, Shadows of Myth and Legend, for review.






EJ Stevens' Shadows of Myth and Legend is a fascinating collection of short, powerful poems that thrill, chill and delight. Delving into established mythology, Stevens brings all manner of mythical creatures out of the shadows for a glimpse of the world behind the curtain.  Her strategy is not to explore the legends...

Book Review: Need






















Need by Carrie Jones
ISBN: 9781599903385
Bloomsbury

Zara White suspects there's a freaky guy semi-stalking her. She's also obsessed with phobias. And it's true, she hasn't exactly been herself since her stepfather died. But exiling her to shivery Maine to live with her grandmother? That seems a bit extreme. The move is supposed to help her stay sane...but Zara's pretty sure her mom just can't deal with her right now.

She couldn't be more wrong. Turns out the semi-stalker is not a figment of...
