The Adaline Pre-Order is open!

I m so excited to announce that as of today, the pre-order for my newest novel is open! This is by far the best book I have written to date and I am really looking forward to getting it out there to readers. Adaline is a great sci-fi story for readers 10 and up, and is the first in what will be a series of books.

Adaline follows the story of a young boy who is raised in an environment completely controlled by machines. Somewhere between Harry Potter and the Matrix, Adaline is a world where individuality is sacrificed for the good of the community. When Boy 1124562 begins to discover hidden talents such as drawing, dreaming and problem solving, a mad doctor tries to erase his abilities and prevent the anomalies from spreading.

Read the book's description and pre-order your copy here.

The best part of the Adaline release? The party of course! Pick up your signed, pre-ordered from Baskin Robbins (Longview, Washington), hear me do my first public reading from Adaline, AND get a free scoop of ice cream. It's going to be a blast for everyone who comes out. Only the first 50 scoops are free, so make sure to come early and hang out with me September 20th from 4pm to 6pm while I sign books, answer questions, and celebrate my third book hitting the market.

Don't Wait

I awoke Friday morning to a message from someone whose name was only vaguely familiar. Laying in bed, scrolling through Facebook on my cell phone, I opened the message. It was a quick note from a woman who was good friends with a woman who I have been close to for over a decade. I read it, and reeled with shock. My friend, a woman who had been with me through the best and worst of times, is gone. Taken from this life because of a driver who didn't stop at a stop sign on a country road. "Accidents happen," many say. It's true, but it isn't right. We never know when our time is going to be up. Today might be your last day, or mine. There's no way of predicting what will happen tomorrow... this evening... fifteen minutes from now. There are many tragedies stemming from this simple accident. First, a mother with fierce love of her two teenage children was stolen from them. A woman who was a pillar of support for so many has fallen from their list of who to cal...

Only Two Weeks Left

Well, I've made it through the first month of fundraising for my novel, Age / Sex / Location and the fundraising process continues to surprise me! Through the generous backing of 8 individuals, $600 of the $5,000 I need has been raised so far and I've been told that there are more people waiting for the suspense to build a little more before adding their donation to the mix. The project has been humbling and inspiring so far; reconnecting me with old friends who are interested in what "that crazy Denise" is up to and prompting others to make steps toward realizing their dreams as well! It is wonderful to know that whether this fundraiser is a financial success or not, there are people out there who believe in me and who take comfort in knowing that they are watching me as an encouragement in their own projects. There is still another $4,400 to raise, and my Mom has offered to get purple highlights once the fundraiser hits the goal as an incentive to anyone who...

Cover Reveal: Wanderer, a Starstruck Novel

Hey there. Yes, yes, I know I've been offline forever. A lot has happened since April 2022 . I bought a house and have been renovating like crazy. But while my life has evolved into a never-ending cycle of trips to Lowe's for supplies, other authors in my orbit are still doing the good work of producing stories. My good friend, S.E. Anderson will have her new book, Wanderer, coming out soon, and she's been gracious enough to give us a sneak peek of her gorgeous cover. Check it out: In case you're not familiar with the Starstruck Saga, Wander is the ninth novel in a space adventure series. There are teleporting aliens, dastardly (and disgusting) bad guys, and one frail human leaping through space and time to experience it all. Here's a bit about Wanderer from S.E. Anderson: For Sally and Zander, enjoying much-needed R&R means hitting up spa planets and chasing buried treasure. But their sun-soaked vacation is rudely interrupted by a visitation from Nimien, who...
