In Shadows

The world building has been an eye opener. So far, it looks like I’m going to be re-outlining Born of Silence from scratch. A lot of the scenes will remain the same, but there are going to be sooooooo many changes . . . Worked my second day shift in forever yesterday. It was slow [...]

Been enjoying my ‘vacation.’ Finished the Smallville DVDs, read several books, and am starting to get antsy again. I’m going to do some monster world building on the Sanguire rather than edit the first book. I know that once I’m finished answering all my questions about the political structures and ramifications, I’ll be sick of [...]

Darth Vader, I mean. The flick was a bit long but trying to cram so much into it had a lot to do with it, I’m sure. It was so cool to hear Luke’s and Leah’s theme songs again, too. All my questions from the 70′s and 80′s were answered – what would create Vader, [...]

At least a little. Finally finished a Slow Movin’ short that’s been on the back burner for awhile – Birthday Gifts. Don’t Read at Work!

Doing a little housekeeping, changing some formats, adding a short or two I’ve forgotten to throw online . . . Dancing was a story I wrote for the At First Blush anthology. Since Fortitude Press folded and I’ve regained the rights to this tale, I thought I’d finally post it for your reading. Don’t read [...]

Home again. Jiggity jig. Had a nice weekend, though I never caught Zero. We weren’t attending the con and didn’t have rooms at the con hotel, which made seeing anybody a bit difficult. What with the convention schedule and Lucy’s show schedule, hooking up with friends was a logistical nightmare. Still, got to hang with [...]

We leave in the morning. Not giving Cremation my money, but I’m thinking about hanging in the con hotel bar on Friday evening. (I’ve got to find Zero to give her Aries’ books!) Saturday night we see Lucy Lawless in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes with friends. That’ll be a hoot! Then home again on Sunday afternoon.

Getting to that state of actually being bored (which is a good thing according to my readers.) From National Geographic comes this link – can anyone say ‘replicators’? Where’s Jack O’Neill when you need him? And here’s an article on Tutenkamen’s facial reconstruction. For a change, it actually does look real. I’ve seen the reconstruction [...]

The party’s ON, people!

Headed out early this morning to the post office. Everybody who has paid should expect their books soon. I still have three that are reserved but haven’t heard from their future owners. (Plus the one that I know will be sending payment next week.) Met today. Had a wonderful chat about books, covers, and writing [...]

Lainey has passed the finish line! Scotch is swinging her around by the sled! Now they can go have some nookie and discuss their future plans. Sheesh! One more chapter (a really hot and bothered one,) and an epilogue, folks. Then this baby’s in the bag!

There are NO MORE COPIES of Tiopa Ki Lakota or Castle Walls!!! FOUR copies remain of Warlord Metal for those intrepid souls still out there…

And Lainey’s hit the finish line! W00t! Had an indecisive moment as I considered who’s POV to use for her arrival in Nome. Hers or Scotch’s? While it was nice to consider Scotch’s POV (not to mention refreshing since the last two hundred chapters have been all from Lainey’s POV,) it was suggested to me [...]

Complete! Cheeee-rist, will this book never end?? I had hoped to have Lainey at the finish line by now, but instead she’s eighteen miles from Nome at the Safety checkpoint. Sheesh! Again, I predict two more chapters and an epilogue. (I’ve said that the last three chapters, I think . . .) Castle Walls and [...]

Just to let you all know, I have no more copies of Tiopa Ki Lakota! There are still 9 copies of Warlord Metal and 7 of Castle Walls at $10 each.
