Carving The Light – Publisher’s Weekly Review – ABNA 2012
Carving The Light did not advance to the ABNA semifinal round this morning, but as a quarterfinalist, it did receive a short review from Publisher’s Weekly – which is pretty freaking amazing, and more than I’d hoped for when I entered.

The Killing: Season 2 Premiere/Day 15
One of television’s best written and most intelligent shows is back for a second season, having already begun with its two-hour premiere on AMC this past Sunday night.

Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award – Carving The Light is a Quarterfinalist!!!
I’m still sort of in shock, and struggling to figure out what I want to say, let alone how to say it, but I promised myself that I would do my best to get some thoughts down tonight, on the eve of this very crazy day. Carving The Light was announced as one of the…
