This week I’m posting from my YA trilogy, Hedge Doctor. Jeff Hansen is a witch with the green touch, the ability to grow plants. His green touch is exceptionally strong though. He can not just grow plants, but enhance their medicinal and magical abilities. He practices his art on monster hunters, people who can’t get […]
I am six feet of Christmas cheer about to descend on you! Yeah, I love the holidays. And since I’m fairly positive that Black Friday is a societal cancer, devoid of everything that makes this time of year wonderful, I spend mine decorating and making cookies. So very, very little writing is going to happen […]
For perhaps the first time in my life, I am thankful for Snow. Being the baker at Thanksgiving means I went to town today. Two pies (apple and pumpkin), banana bread, prepped a bread pudding for tomorrow, and made a pound of fudge. But a heavy snow fall had the kids outside despite school being cancelled, […]
I’m doing the listen through this afternoon at 12:30 EST. Wendigo just needs the listen over to be ready for publishing. And I usually have some funny to say, even it’s just giggling over the silly robot voice.
For both Thanksgiving and to publish Wendigo. I’ll be live tweeting as I listen tomorrow afternoon. Always my last step. This one is just pure fun. If you’re a fan of the show Supernatural, you’ll probably start crying from laughter. Or just cry. I might suck after all. But Turkey Day is almost here, […]
This weeks scene is from my short story Wendigo: Sam stared at the matte black beauty in front of him. He ran a hand along the sleek lines as he spoke. “1965 Mustang. Automatic?” “Four speed.” Dean’s eyes grew warm as he walked around the car. “Bucket seats, dual exhaust, and all the original leather […]
I gave up last week. I tried, but between writer’s block, depression, illness, and just being a mom, I fell behind and couldn’t get back up to speed. Meh, Nano is fun, but really, I have to keep my eyes on the prize. Which is keeping far ahead of my publishing schedule. And I’m doing […]
“Did you know that Pittsburgh has more bridges than Venice, and more stairs than San Francisco?” Why did I pick the opening sentence as the one to sum up the last story? Because the entire piece hinges on what Giorgios knows that you don’t. Which is quite a bit. And yes, I know common wisdom […]
It’s just a cold but I’m exhausted. Anyway, the crumble and the Hunt at the Haunt. You wouldn’t believe how expensive them premiums are. A line uttered by Rita while she and Matty discuss how to get rid of the gremlin. This is one of my funny little shorts. There’s very little drama, but lots […]
We’re faster, stronger, and smarter than you. This story, in my opinion, is the best of the Uncommon Animals series. For one thing, we finally get some clue as to what’s up with Matty, but we also get a look at what Mina and Matty were like before they ran away. I had a lot […]
