I thought I’d share another excerpt from Fanning The Flames. *** The next day in Elemental Science, Bryn pulled Keegan aside. “This is going to be a weird conversation, but my grandfather asked me to find a Red dragon I trusted who is willing to take on a knight to help in the investigation against the Rebels.” “Why would … Read More
Name that Boyfriend
Once I’m done with edits for book 3 in my dragon series, I’m going to finish up a romantic comedy for the Entangled Crush line. Blackmail Boyfriend was my first foray into romantic comedy. I need a title for this new story which also has the word boyfriend in it. Bonus points if it has alliteration of B B. After you … Read More

Check out Bryce Colton
This is what I imagine Bryce Colton looks like. He’s the main male character in Blackmail Boyfriend. The excerpt below shows how Haley thinks of him and how they meet. Bryce stood lounging in front of his locker, wearing a crisp white shirt and khakis. I felt underdressed in the Levi’s and the black Talk Nerdy to Me sweatshirt I’d … Read More

Come Say Hello At #UtopYA2015
Right now, mentally, I’m skipping through a field of flowers and singing, “I’m going to UtopYA. I’m going to UtopYA.” I’m so excited to see my Facebook and Twitter friends. Although it’s always tricky to recognize people from their online photos. I have different glasses now, and my hair is not quite the same color as it was in my author … Read More

Trial By Fire
I feel like sharing today, so here is the rough draft version of the first chapter of Book 3 in the Going Down In Flames series, Trial By Fire. “Jaxon, I swear to God, if you don’t stop bitching, I will set your hair on fire.” Bryn spoke through clenched teeth as she smiled and nodded at the students … Read More
Brain Candy – Revisited
Wednesday snuck by me this week, so I’m revisiting a past post about why I write what I write. What do you want from a book? I want a fast-paced, fun, roller-coaster-ride of a read. Do you like cliffhanger endings? In one of my favorite series, The Morganville Vampires, every book ends with a main character dying or on the … Read More
All that Glitters
I was lucky enough to be asked to do an interview for Glitter magazine. Today I’m sharing the questions they asked and my answers. You can find the link to the original article at the end of this post. GLITTER: Tell us 5 random facts about yourself. CHRIS: I have 3 dogs, so my entire house is furry and so … Read More
Bridges Burned-Another Scene Bites the Dust
I love how this scene highlights Jaxon and Bryn’s frenemy type relationship. The scene was part of a sub-plot in Book 2 which was vetoed. I may find a way to add it to Book 3. Until then, I thought I’d share it here. Bryn checked the time on her bedside clock. It was half past two. “Curfew doesn’t start until 8pm. We … Read More
An Introvert In Vegas
I think most authors are introverts who learn to go forth and network with other writers, readers, and bloggers. I spent the weekend in Vegas to attend a Book Festival. I spoke on my first panel, and it was terrifying and exciting at the same time. I kind of feel the same way about Las Vegas. The flashing lights, crowds of people, … Read More

My Crazy Summer
This was an exciting, crazy summer. I got on a plane by myself and flew to Nashville for the #UtopYA2014 conference. It was awesome and inspiring and exhausting. Then I took a plane to Las Vegas for the Entangled publishing conference. It was also awesome and inspiring and exhausting. I wish the two events hadn’t happened back to back because … Read More
