The type of thing I'm editing at the moment.
"When I looked back, I saw the monster chasing me."
Changing it to:
'The monster chased me."
I do this a lot and now that I see it, I can't unsee it.

Just finished reading The Wake of Saints (by AM Hamill)...
Oh my days. An absolutely amazing masterclass in powerful fantasy writing, with characters so gorgeously relatable that bythe last few chapters they almost had me crying with each twist, for different reasons each time! And cheering them on of course!
Just... Go get this book ~ it's completely wicked~~

#PennedPossibilities 1063 — How do the skies in your WIP’s world look different from the sky that we know?
The Twin Worlds do not have a moon. They have a second planet (which are circling each other), and thus the night sky looks rather stunning.
It's also where the name came from, obviously. And I tried to put that on the cover, as well.

I'm working on something which I hope to announce in the next few weeks.
What I will say is:
- It's #fantasy based
- Has a book cover
- Announcing it depends on how edits go but I'm almost there. (I think).#AmWriting #ReadingCommunity #YAFantasy #BookSky #WritingCommunity #spéirgorm #MastoDaoine #MastoBooks

Shattered Ice is out today.
A YA environmental fantasy about northern ice, disrupted migration, water, wildlife, dragons, grief, courage, and hope.
It is written for young readers who know the future should not be negotiated without them — and for the parents, teachers, librarians, and climate-minded readers who still believe stories can help them face it.

I wrote Shattered Ice before the latest headlines about opening the Arctic to more oil development.
But that is exactly the point.
The future rarely arrives as fiction. It arrives as policy, profit, melting ice, disrupted migration, and people saying it is necessary.
Releases June 3.

Maybe your library would order a copy?

Guten Morgen, Freunde.
This morning, I went to add a blog post to my store, the first ever. It was fun to actually set it up and make it visible.
Anyway, in it I'm talking about Steps of Courage (this is the short version, I promise) and how it is Book of the Month, with a coupon deal for the store (50% off).
Enjoy!

If you like stories where the magic system has real costs, the found family is messy and earned, and the protagonist wins through stubbornness rather than destiny — The Threshold Saga might be your thing. ✨

Breaking news: Imposter syndrome has been formally challenged.
The first book in my "Wazo the Wildcard" series is now part of the Ottawa Public Library collection.
Apparently, if you write a book and a public institution agrees to catalogue it, that counts as legitimacy.
Who knew.
Grateful. Slightly stunned. Carrying on.
(Two more volumes to write...)
