This Monday my novella, Monsters of Pittsburgh: Humans, will be available for purchase. So here’s the opening: The bar was loud and crowded despite it being a Thursday night. Mina sat on a stool, trying not to glare at the people who jostled her. She was here with her boss, Jennelle, who knew her as […]
So yesterday, I decided to do movie parody posters for the final Mina and Matty series. And I dutifully sat down with my stock photos and spent eight hours mocking up a halfway decent parody. Just to see if I could make the photoshop look good. I knew it wouldn’t be done, but could I make […]
So all my friends are posting their New Year’s Writing Resolutions. And here I am, coffee and stuffed French toast, and I realized that writing-wise, I’m in a good place. I mean, I’m always learning and trying to improve, but really I’m good. I wished I had finished the finale of the final series, still […]
Vacation is a dangerous thing. I’m sleeping way too much. And I have all kinds of administrative stuff to do for my stories, but I’m not. I am, however, getting some writing done. And making cookies. *shrugs* It’s the holidays.
Oof, I can’t believe how fast and yet how slow this week has gone. Being Santa’s amazon is exhausting. What I haven’t been doing is writing. Yes, I’ve turned nocturnal because of this. I did luckily have a breakthrough last night. Matty and Mina finally got their act together. I’m not saying I’ll finish before […]
A little something I wrote for a friend: It had to be the most boring party ever. The guys huddled around the beer pong table, congratulating themselves on trick shots, mostly peacocking for the nearly identical blondes, who stood in a giggling group, feigning disinterest. Chelsea tried to push away the negativity. Four months ago, […]
I lamented that my friends probably wouldn’t have the time to help me get Humans ready for publication. Holy crap was I wrong. No less than seven people stepped up and read through the story, Typos were caught, emotion miscues recued, and most importantly, I know that newbies can pick this up and follow along. I’ll […]
So here I am, trying to do all that last minute Christmas stuff, and in the middle of it, I decide to revamp Humans just a few days before it’s due to Amazon. I sent out the word, begging my friends to give it a once over. I’m hoping people have the time, but I’m […]
Holiday edition! I don’t have much written for Christmas, but I do have this scene from Hunter’s Moon. *** Sonja folded another thermal shirt and placed it in her bag, but her eyes kept stealing towards her phone. Troy still hadn’t gotten back to her. “I brought you some coffee.” Rick’s voice bustled with false […]
I needs it. So bad. With Humans getting ready for publication, I’m already turning to the last two Monsters of Pittsburgh stories. Brownie is fine. It’ll need the grammar checks, but its in good shape. Werewolves though. I had a brilliant idea, wrote it out around Halloween, but somehow it didn’t save. So I’m going […]
