Today’s scene is from my latest novella, Sheepsquatch: Surprise stopped Mina when she stepped into the stockroom of Rita’s bar. It had been transformed into a makeshift clinic. Pallets of beer had been covered with thin, snowy-white blankets. A boy with shaggy, pale hair and a soccer uniform stood by one. The impromptu table held […]
I’m working on a flash piece for blog hop, so a little distracted today. Look for a scene tomorrow. Not my flash piece, I’m thinking something from Sheepsquatch.
I’ve been super busy editing Part Five of Monsters of Pittsburgh that I completely forgot to write a blog post today. Doesn’t help that I no longer write these first thing in the morning. But I’m feeling much better about Part Three (Talasam) and Part Five (Human). And please don’t forget, Sheepsquatch is now available […]
Yes, yes you can finally read about Sheepsquatch! Things are heating up in the Steel City. Rick and Mina still haven’t dealt with the aftermath of the succubus hunt. When their distraction leads to Mina getting hurt, both of them know that something needs to be said. But a cute demon hunter from West Virginia […]
Yup, tomorrow we meet the Sheepsquatch. Okay, yes, I love the name sheepsquatch, but no I didn’t make it up. Sheepsquatch is a ‘real’ cryptid from West Virginia. I took some liberties, as I always do, but made sure to keep it true to the spirit of the monster. And I was very careful not […]
Sheepsquatch in two days! I hope the title intrigues readers as much as it my betas. I had a lot of fun with this monster. Me though, I’m already prepping Talasam for next month. I want to tweak the cover a little, and I’m finally happy with content. Now it’s two weeks of […]
A friend gave us a prompt, and this was my response: Missy Chambers kicked at the red and orange leaves as she waited for the bus back to her dorm. Soon enough they’d be raked and burned, but right now they smelled of autumn, and crunched under her sneakers. She loved Hyde Park in the […]
There are a bunch of little things I have to do. I reread some Uncommon Animals stories for continuity, and found the inevitable typos. I need to tweak my Monsters of Pittsburgh covers. I need to write better blurbs for the later stories. But I don’t want to do any of it. I don’t want […]
Almost didn’t think I was going to get to this today. I am wretchedly ill, so forgive the typos. They’ll be worse than usual. Today’s subject, what if nobody actually likes my work. Which is stupid considering I just got my first royalty check from Amazon. But nobody has bought a story in a few […]
I’ve expressed my love for the Nanowrimo many a time, but this writing challenge is, well, right up my alley. (Yes I did debate the pun and nearly typed ‘write up my alley’.) No, I will not be writing a novel in a single day. I will hopefully be part of a team of people, […]
