  • The wait is over. It Happened One Doomsday has just been released!

    This is phenomenal. IT HAPPENED ONE DOOMSDAY just went on sale this morning, and already Amazon has almost run out. There are only a few left in stock. So go get yours while you can! And if you can’t get it through Amazon today, don’t worry — it’s the perfect chance to go support your friendly local…

  • Book signing at Lakewood Barnes & Noble

    Can’t make it to the Tattered Cover on July 19? No worries. I’ll also be at Barnes & Noble in Denver West Village on Saturday, July 16. Besides signing books, I’ll also have a live demo of the actual crystals Dru uses in the book to fight demons and other creatures of darkness. Just wait til…

  • Deepest secrets revealed on RMFW podcast

    OK, so maybe not my “deepest secrets.” But this is possibly the most interesting interview I’ve ever done. When the unstoppable Mark Stevens from Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers invited me onto the RMFW podcast, I had no idea he’d ask me such thought-provoking questions. A few of the many, many things we talked about: •…

  • The official soundtrack of IT HAPPENED ONE DOOMSDAY

    Here’s a selection of female vocalist covers and remixes of some of my favorite 80s and 90s songs. I listened to these tracks over and over while I was writing It Happened One Doomsday. A few notes: • Kelly Sweet – In The Air Tonight: a song for Rane’s anger. • Creep (Radiohead Cover): a…

  • They’re here! Win a Doomsday paperback

    If you’re like me, you love getting books in the mail. Tear open the envelope or cardboard box and boom, there it is. The book you’ve been waiting for. This time, it’s a little more exciting. No matter what you think, absolutely nothing can prepare you for the experience of opening up the box and…

  • Book signing at the Tattered Cover

    It’s finally official: I’ll be reading and signing IT HAPPENED ONE DOOMSDAY at the venerable Tattered Cover book store. So exciting! Come see, handle (and enter to WIN) the actual crystals Dru uses to cast her magic… Hear me read what is possibly the funniest scene ever written about a spandex t-shirt… Learn the surprising…

  • Meet Hellbringer, the horsepower of the apocalypse.

    Excerpt from It Happened One Doomsday: The garage was easily big enough for three cars, but it held only one: the long, angular form of Greyson’s black muscle car. It sat crouched behind Rane’s back, its hood open just an inch, as if waiting to devour her. Greyson scratched his chin. “So if it’s possessed…

  • “Immensely engaging.” –San Francisco Book Review

    This is great! Just received some fantastic coverage in the San Francisco Book Review: “It Happened One Doomsday is a curious beast: a rom-com with an apocalyptic bent. [Dru’s] posse of supportive female friends is both hilarious and badass, offering great banter along with impressive superpowers. She’s also supported by an interesting magic system and a bookish background…

  • Honey, in these shoes, you can save the world.

    Meet Opal. She knows the esoteric contents of almost every handwritten ancient magical tome in The Crystal Connection. She can identify a magic charm on sight, she can read ancient languages, and she knows what you should never, ever say to a fish demon. But she doesn’t have any magical powers of her own. Is…

  • It’s a good thing she’s such a badass.

    Meet Rane. It’s no coincidence that “Rane” rhymes with “pain.” She’s Dru’s best friend, Opal’s best frenemy, and Greyson’s possible nemesis. She’s also six feet tall and able to transform into rock or metal just by touching it. Comes in handy for crushing the forces of darkness. But does her ‘smash first, ask later’ attitude…
