Secrets Revealed! (or at least trivia shared)

Posted at Apr 7, 2014 7:46 pm

I’ll be answering questions about FIRST TO BURN, my next two releases, my hero Wulf’s poor suffering jerky brother Ivar, and coffee over at Anna’s Book Blog on Tuesday, April 8. That’s not my blog – it’s another Anna! But she shares the universal Anna hatred for songs that reference yellow tropical fruit in addition […]

It’s out! First to Burn is a real book, for sale wherever you find ebooks. My first morning as a published author included an early Valentine from Mr. Richland…     … a shirtless Lego dude pretending to be a book cover model … … and lots of amazing interaction with readers and friends through […]

Train is Approaching the Station!

Posted at Jan 23, 2014 6:48 am

My family loves to ride public transit, and this week before the release of First to Burn  on January 27 is feeling like standing on a platform watching the train coming. There’s light, movement, a lot of noise and a rush of air. The funny duo of Sarah Wendell and Jane Litte discussed First to Burn (complete with […]

The Fourth Shirtless King and Reviews? Seriously!

Posted at Dec 27, 2013 9:29 pm

I found business cards and thank you notes featuring a certain shirtless Viking in my stocking, an eReader ornament featuring my cover, and a gorgeous crystal (Lucite?) cube with the cover of First to Burn. It looks at home with the crystal Nativity scene on the buffet. Since Christmas, I’ve […]

The Richland family combines cultural and food traditions ranging from the Eastern European Christmas Eve dinner of twelve dishes handed down on my side, to Mr. Richland’s more Anglo-Canadian Christmas Day feast of roasted meat and Yorkshire puddings. Ornaments that once hung on my grandparents’ tree now decorate ours, and an advent calendar gifted from my husband’s family hangs in a […]

Honor Veterans Day

Posted at Nov 11, 2013 5:43 pm

This is a day I take seriously. I take my family to the cemetery. When I worked at a law firm that practiced business as usual on November 11, one year I took the day off to commemorate the day. I felt like that raised eyebrows, so another year I only walked to downtown Seattle’s Garden of Remembrance at […]
