Manifesting Destiny Returns!
In 2016, my young adult novel Manifesting Destiny was published by… a small publisher. It did fairly well on release, actually, although I didn’t love the way they formatted the paperback. And then I also couldn’t get local bookstores to carry the paperback because the publisher used Amazon to create it, and many bookstores don’t want to sell products made

Coming Soon… ish
Back in 2016, the first book in my planned Changers trilogy was published by Evernight Teen (under the name M Pepper Langlinais). Sadly, I wasn’t able to finish the trilogy at that time, and I eventually had the rights to the book returned to me after the contract ended. Now I’m happy to announce that Manifesting Destiny will be republished

WIP Excerpts
I’m writing again, hopping from project to project, but I think this is finally the one I’m going to focus on. It’s set in AElit (see the tab above for context) and the working title is The Lost God. Below are excerpts I posted on Bluesky for various prompts. They’re not in any particular order in terms of the chronology

Books I’ve Tried but Failed to Read
Lately, I’ve struggled to find books that hold my interest. Some of that is definitely on me; I’ve been having a rough time, and sitting down and focusing on a book has been incredibly difficult. And yet I have read a few books that I enjoyed (check my YouTube channel for those). So it can be done. Still, the wins

Thoughts on Loki (and Loki)
Once upon a time, there was a little “boy.” He had been adopted by a powerful family, the family of a king, in fact. This boy was meant to be a prince. But his greatest bond was with his adopted mother. He delighted in time spent with her, and in “feminine” things. (His mother was a great warrior in her

Books: Any Way the Wind Blows (Simon Snow #3) by Rainbow Rowell
I wrote a short review on Goodreads immediately after finishing this book. Then, a few hours later, I filmed a video review that rambles a bit. So here I’m going to attempt to organize my thoughts a little more coherently. For context, let me begin by saying I adore Carry On and like Wayward Son. Though the second book was,

Okay, but…
This is about to be random, but I feel like I need to write about it somewhere, and since this is my blog, here it is. I’m re-reading The Once and Future King by T. H. White. I first read it when I was 13 or 14 years old because I loved, loved, loved all things Arthurian (and Robin Hood—The

Television: Merlin (Seasons 1 & 2)
Very late to this party, but my daughter requested to watch this series. She’d seen an episode of it at a friend’s house once, had immediately pinpointed Merlin and Arthur as a couple, and had been curious ever since. So we started watching it as part of our regular girl time. For those unfamiliar: Merlin is a BBC television series

Books: Recent Reads
I’ve been meaning to make a YouTube video for this, and I might still do that, but for now it’s faster to just write about the handful of books I’ve read recently. Meghan and Harry: The Real Story Overall, I think Lady Colin Campbell is trying to be fair. She mentions numerous times how she wanted to Meghan to succeed,
