1. Cover Reveal and Next Stops on the #MyWritingProcess Blog Hop

First up: four awesome authors that are up next (today) on the #MyWritingProcess blog hop. I've read each of them, and adore them all. :)


Katharina Gerlach
Award winning author Katharina Gerlach writes speculative fiction for the middle grade and young adult audience in two languages, English and German. When she's not busy writing or promoting, she organizes the crazy life of a family with three t(w)eens, a dog and a husband (for obvious reasons, the best is mentioned last).




Angie Lofthouse
Angie Lofthouse went to college with every intention of becoming a particle physicist, but through a series of misadventures, found herself studying Shakespeare instead. After college she combined her love of science and her love of words into a science fiction writing career. Her short stories have appeared in numerous online and print magazines and anthologies. Her sci-fi adventure novel, Defenders of the Covenant, was released in 2012, and the sequel, The Ransomed Returning, in 2014. She lives in a little canyon in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains with her family of writers, artists, singers, composers, illustrators and musicians.







Dave Butler
Dave is a novelist living in the Rocky Mountain west. His training is in law, and he worked as a securities lawyer at a major international firm and inhouse at two multinational semiconductor manufacturers before setting up in solo practice. Now he makes his living primarily as a corporate trainer, teaching business acumen to employees of large corporate clients. Dave is a lover of language and languages, a guitarist and self-recorder, and a serious reader. He has been writing fiction since 2010. He writes speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, space opera, steampunk, cyberpunk, superhero, alternate history, dystopian fiction, horror and related genres) for all audiences. He has a forthcoming steampunk fantasy series for middle grade readers (Knopf, Spring 2016) and in the meantime has several self-published projects. His steampunk novel City of the Saints was a finalist for the Whitney Award in speculative fiction in 2012.




Charmaine Clancy
Brisbane author Charmaine Clancy loves to create characters for mystery, fantasy and adventure. All her stories are fictional, except maybe MY ZOMBIE DOG (some say to this day you can hear her dog softly moan the plea ‘braaaains’). Charmaine was born the year man walked on the moon, and if more aware of the event, she probably would have thought it was a great setting for a murder. She grew up in the big city of Sydney. Her early school reports advised disapprovingly that she was always ‘daydreaming’. Obviously her teachers did not recognise and value the art of plotting. Despite this feedback, Charmaine loved studying and would later go on to University to gain her BA in Professional and Creative Writing. When not explaining the dangers of underestimating a fairy or the best spots to hide a body, Charmaine runs creative writing courses for kids and is now hosting online workshops. Her books include My Zombie Dog, Dognapped? A Dog Show Detective Mystery and soon to be released, Undead Kev. She loves all things Agatha Christie and is often watching those around her with suspicious eyes; on the off chance they ever do commit a cleverly devised crime.



Second up: cover reveal for a new short story that introduces my upcoming Curiosities:


A flower. A faerie. The power of wishing.

(Links will be posted once they become available. I'll be posting the opening here next Monday.)

Happy Monday!
