I’m Sorry, So Sorry

Please accept my apology. We got the plague a couple weeks ago, so I've been not feeling like typing. Additionally, I've had to remove my podcast interview with Susan Wingate. She taking sabbatical until the New Year. Other than feeling crappy, I have a book out with my BETA readers, and another one pending. I…

You Know We’ve Been Through the Desert Foothills Book Fest!

WE had a blast at the Desert Foothills Book Fest last Saturday. We had a great time hanging with dozens of other authors including Patricia Brooks, Connie Cockrell, Stephanie Barton, and Haley Rose. There were so many more, though. If I were you, I'd click on the link below to see all the wonderful authors…

When Will I See You Again?

Oh my! The Mirror Gate Chronicles gang had such a great time at the Ghosts of Globe Paracon! Vinnie, our host watched over us, making sure we had everything we needed. The event turned out great! And this year is flying by! Can you believe we're halfway through May already? I, for one, can't believe…

We’re Going Our Own Way

The Verde Valley Comic Expo was amazing. TJ and Elizabeth had a great time, sold a few books, and met a bunch of great people. Their friend, Duann Black came up and hung out. If you didn't make it, perhaps you will think about future events in Arizona! Check them out on the events page.…

Country Roads and Cottonwood

Hey, all! The authors at the Mirror Gate Chronicles have been busy working on several things, but the biggest news is Death at Hell's Canyon has gone to the editor! We expect to have the manuscript back for all the writing reworks she hands us. We want this to be the best story ever--we need…

Just An Old-Fashioned Love Song

A long, long time ago in a land not so far from here, TJ Boyer and Elizabeth Ajamie met in high school. They were freshman at East Phoenix High. They attended English class together. Near the end of high school, TJ was in the Army National Guard, and the couple married. This life they chose…

Hoop Dee Doo!

You see that photo? So much truth here. There was nothing except dirt and maybe grass under those jungle gyms. Always at the top, you'd find me spinning on the monkey bars. You can't find monkey bars, or jungle gyms in school yards anymore. Only plastic slides, and rubber mats where true lessons of life…

The Night Was Very Dark So You Could Hardly See

This is Elizabeth writing today, not my ghost writer who blogs to you in third person. I thought I'd mention that so you know what's happening in this blog, today. Our church women from Pima Canyon Church in Ahwatukee, to to Prescott Pines Christian Camp each fall. The topic this year was Kindred (#Kindred2021). As…

Homocide’s my favorite venge

What? This cool rap song is by Ice-T. I don't listen to rap, but I thought it would be apropos to start with this cool song title. The hubby and I are collaborating on a murder mystery. It is totally out of our usual genre, but we both love watching mystery and crime dramas in…

Hold My Beer

TJ and Elizabeth began writing a murder mystery this week. This is a true collaboration with both authors writing into the manuscript. Afterwards, they arm wrestle to see what stays and what goes. Elizabeth's friend, Barb suggested they be careful or they may end up writing a true crime story. Ha! To this, Elizabeth said,…

A Rose By Any Other Name

Hi, all our dear friends and readers! We've changed our blog name from Elizabeth's Blog to Mirror Gate Blog. It seems appropriate because that is the name of our website! The writing adventures began years ago when our son, Thomas Nasif asked his Dad, TJ to put all his stories into book form. TJ always…

Rainy Days and Saturdays, Here in the Park

The Payson Book Festival was incredible, successful, and amazing! We had so much fun! TJ and Elizabeth want to thank everyone who came to see us and who bought our books! Since then, both authors are writing/editing up a storm. The weather in Phoenix has lent itself to the good moods and inspiration. TJ is…

We Can’t Stop Believin’

Payson Book Festival is nine days away! TJ and Elizabeth are very excited and hope to see many of you up in the pines! The book festival is held at the Mazatzal Casino and Hotel, in their ballroom. There are many wonderful things to do and see in Payson, such as the Zane Grey cabin…

I Can See Clearly Now, the Plague is Gone…

Guess what? There is only a month left until the Payson Book Festival. TJ and Elizabeth are so excited to get out of town and out of the heat! You can come see them July 17 in Payson, at table 18. All their new books will be available. Speaking of heat, if you can't stand…
