This page is part of the tour. “That’s right!” Bergen says, sitting back in Angela’s black, leather chair. “I’ve commandeered this here blog.” He drops his muddy boots onto Angela’s writing desk while popping the cap off a bottle of Guinness he swiped from her stash. “Bergen’s Blog sounds better anyway. Unlike her, I […]
The Eladrin Stones
The Eladrin Stones Welcome to my mediocre hobby writing! The Eladrin Stones are D&D Fan Fiction that I do not take seriously. Neither should you. It is for ADULTS ONLY as there is much swearing and debauchery. The Eladrin Stones can only be found here as I am not publishing them nor am I putting […]
A letter to Karen Marie Moning
I wrote this to the author, Karen Moning, after reading 63% of her 15th novel Iced. Mind you, this is written by one of her male mc’s. My dearest darling Karen, I understand you have my story to tell, and you do it so well. But, Och! Lass…did you really have to go […]
Agent Update
I just received this update from Agent X. Hi Angela, Thanks so much for your patience and for sharing DOLOR AND SHADOW with me. I just got a chance to take a peek. Although I love the concept and think your authorial voice serves the adult fantasy audience very well, I’m just not connecting […]

Building Bergen
This page is part of the tour. Bergen. “I love Bergen,” I say with a grin. I really don’t know how Bergen managed his way into my book. Knowing him, he probably slipped in through the back when I wasn’t looking. As I broke and shaped my story, I worked and warped it around […]

The Princess Bride Factor
I am often asked what genre Tales of the Drui is. This question must be one of the hardest I have ever had to answer regarding my story. When I wrote Tales of the Drui, every scene, every word, was selected with the 35-year-old male fantasy reader in mind. This was my demographic. Unfortunately, the […]
