So yesterday, I’m all like, “Focus, bitches!” (The bitch is for emphasis!) I started the scene I need for my Hedge Doctor series. Worked on my book covers. And then my kid got sick, at the Mexican restaurant. So today, less focus, more ginger ale and crackers. But that doesn’t mean no writing. I’m hoping […]
It’s almost April. Monsters of Pittsburgh: Omnibus comes out in ten days. And Hedge Doctor: Prom comes out in June. Now the Omnibus, of course, takes care of itself. Those stories are done. But Hedge Doctor needs a proofreading, and the other two stories in the series need a little work still. Nothing major, just a scene […]
And not the one you are thinking of. Although he is named after the Mr. Bob Marley in universe. I haven’t gushed about Marley on this blog, though I have on the old Tumblr one. But a friend picked up The Haven yesterday (okay asked to read it and I loosened my hold on my […]
For once, I’m not talking about my brain. Although at the same time, I kinda am. I touched on this a little bit yesterday, how switching from my short story mindset to Epic Novel was tough.

I’m starting to feel sorry for my critiquers, because my novel is a touch… bipolar. At this point, I’m really frankensteining the thing. There’s a lot of cutting and pasting bits of chapters, and then dashing off 100 or so words to tie it all together. Which is fairly normal for the third draft. The real […]
Been working on my novel, The Red Witch, this week. I got to one of the parts that I have been dying to work on: Edie having visions of the past. *** Edie closed the door behind her and click of the lock was frighteningly final. She knew nobody had ever died going to see Prophecy, […]
I’m one of those people who can read a detailed description of an operation, and not have any clue how to do it. Case in point, writing scripts for the web comic. My first attempt, my artist took my first three scripts and made SIX comics. I took her roughs, rewrote my scripts, and tried […]
Almost forgot to write my blog post today. I’ve been getting writing done, and my brain was all “WRITE IT! WRITE THE RED WITCH NOW!” What actually reminded me was the fact that I was writing yet another red haired character, and chuckling to myself. I have this thing about red heads. Mainly, I have trouble […]
As always, am I right? But tomorrow my flash series, Chelsea Childling, Newbie Monster Hunter, releases the next installment. I love my Chelsea stuff for two reasons: 1. It gives me something to send out with my newsletter. And 2: it keeps my short story skills sharp. I’m moving away from shorts and novellas and back […]
