When I decided to write about reincarnation in Just Like Gravity, I wanted to try a past life regression for myself so I could use that experience in my book. Finding a hypnotist who does past life regressions wasn’t easy. Let me amend that: finding a reputable hypnotist who does past life regressions wasn’t easy. I found several questionable people—somebody called Madame Sophia turned up in my Google search and for a while I thought I would have to give […]

–To bring you a little more news about Zoraida Grey. First–the deal with Wild Rose is on and we are trying for an October release—if I can stop pestering Mary, my patient and saintly editor. Next–earlier this year I promised everyone who follows this blog a chance for a free book of Zoraida Grey short stories in May. Now that I am a big-time author with Wild Rose and publishing a book with those same characters, I have a contractual […]

The creature was once alive but, by the application of magic and a few household ingredients in the right proportions, got zombified. […]
Y is another tricky letter but the Yawkwawiak makes a fine addition to the bestiary we are developing at Sorchia’s Universe He’s also called Katshituashku by the Penobscot Nation and is an elephant-sized bear who enjoys munching on unwary nature-lovers—or anyone else who wanders into the forest. The stiff-legged bear makes an appearance in the lore of several Native American tribes. The Penobscot Nation reports that the big, shaggy mammal can’t bend its legs and leans on trees to rest. […]
