  • Lots of Changes!

    So I’ve been a bit quiet for a (very long) while, but have been busy busy busy!

    I released Songs of Tarros: Firesong in October 2024 and a prequel short story, Cacophony, in October 2025. And as soon as I finished Cacophony, I started working in earnest on Songs of Tarros: Stormsong (with a little help from my self-appointed editor!)

    “No no no! You need to add more fishies!”

    With the new books and some upcoming author events, I figured it was about time to give the website a bit of an overhaul. If things seem a bit wonky for a bit, please be patient – I’m beating my head on the keyboard as I try to figure out how to edit my webpages.

    Stay tuned, my lovelies!

    Caelynn Interviewed!

    When I first started seriously writing, I found myself getting involved in the Twitter writing community, which in turn led to my learning about Assaph Mehr, his incredible world of Egretia (historical urban fantasy murder mysteries!) and character interviews at The Protagonist Speaks.

    It became my goal/dream/hope that someday one of my characters would be interviewed – a dream that has now come true!

    Hop on over to The Protagonist Speaks and check out Caelynn’s interview here.

    While you’re at it, check out Egretia.com for some excellent stories of murder, magic, and togas!
