As my friend could tell you, I’m not overly fond of the city I live in at the moment, but today, we’re being crushed by an ice storm, so I am once again, home with my kids… and not working. It’s cold, I have to keep salting the sidewalks and breaking apart sheets of ice. […]
Starting to clean up Monsters of Pittsburgh: Werewolves for publication. In honor of that I thought I’d show the opening. *** The slight shuffling of Maureen’s broken foot rolled Daisy Quinn off the cot and onto the cement floor before she woke up. “Twitchy, aren’t you?” Small, white teeth gleamed above Daisy. Maureen smiled too […]
I’m a writer and an urban fantasist at that. I’m sure I’m on a TSA database somewhere. Anybody who looks up homemade bombs, how long it takes bodies to decompose, how to make thermite at home, and how to escape zip ties is gonna ping their radars. But I also kill people… in my stories. It’s […]
Maybe this should have been my IWSG post yesterday, but it’s driving me nuts. All my life, I’ve fought my dyslexia. It’s not like you see in media. I can read (extremely well, actually) and do math (less well, but still…). I can’t however remember phone numbers to save my life, and right and left… […]
Another month, another airing of insecurities. This week I’m obsessed with sales. Haven’t had one in awhile. Now, I have had pre-orders for the Omnibus of my latest series, and I’m trying really hard to be happy about that. But all the same, I like seeing my daily peaks. There’s something comforting about knowing that […]
It’s been over a week since her friend’s death, but Mina Grekov still isn’t back to normal. Even her new relationship with Rick can’t chase away her blues entirely. But a phone call for help from Rita’s bar might change all of that. Just 0.99 over at Amazon!
Well, Linus blanketed us in snow. The husband and I are about to take the kids sledding, so I’mma be brief. Tomorrow my short story, Brownie goes live on Amazon. You can buy it today though, and wake up tomorrow with it ready to go. And please, sign up for my newsletter. The only way […]
Well, since I finished my series yesterday, I decided to post the most non-spoileriest scene I could today. *** Matty focused on his breathing. He tried to anyway. There was so much to process here. Matty swayed into Mina as the bus rumbled into the black night. His body still felt weird, wrong. He whimpered. […]
Yes, I have finished Mina and Matty’s stories. I’m not saying they’ll never show back up in my writing, but the story I started with The Hunted is definitely over. I could write stories about their ‘hunts’ forever, but their emotional journey has definitely been wrapped up. Now of course, I have to edit the […]
I’m taking today to not discuss writing. It’s a thing I do occasionally. Instead, I want to talk about people. I was a part of two rather interesting discussions yesterday. The first was involved the new Indiana Jones movie, and the other got me thinking. The Indiana Jones one was fairly typical for the internet. […]
