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, […]
For the last two years, mornings have been my writing time. I was super stoked when my youngest switched from afternoon to morning sessions this year. To me that meant super quiet time, just me and coffee. I figured I’d spend his afternoon nap getting the house in order. Unfortunately, he had other ideas. Once […]
It’s that day of the week again. In honor of getting Sheepsquatch to Amazon ahead of schedule, here a scene from my upcoming novella: Matty left her to stand guard at the entrance. The store room didn’t have a door. After all, the demon hunter’s bar wasn’t a clinic. Mina smiled at his back. Modesty […]
Finishing off Sheepsquatch this morning. I was exhausted last night, and not up for editing. But at 9:30, I’ll be finishing off my text to speech session, before uploading the final product to Amazon. The release date is October 8, but you can pre-order now.
Today at 1 PM EST, I’ll be listening to Sheepsquatch for errors and live tweeting (@EdiesHaven). The text to speech function is HILARIOUS when you write Urban Fantasy, so I’ll be entertained to no end. Hopefully, I’ll be entertaining to other people as well.
