We <3 Pittsburgh!

Yes, that’s Page One of the web comic. And there’s so, so much more to come. I’m seriously jumping for joy over here. Don’t forget that you can subscribe to the comic and if you love the artwork, check out Miss Ashley’s other sites!

…and the train chugs along

Yesterday was awesome. Getting the cover out, and starting the web comic. Tomorrow and next Tuesday, when we release actual pages, will also be super exciting. But today, I have work to do. The final Hedge Doctor story, Graduation, has to be to Amazon on the 20th, and I, in my infinite crazy, added a minor […]

Read my Web Comic!

Well, our web comic. Miss Ashley Jane does all the drawing. I just wrote the stories and looked up body models when she got frustrated. This has been just an unreal time, watching her bring these characters to life. So please, please, please, go check out the Uncommon Animals online. We update on Tuesday and Thursdays. And […]

Taking the day off

Tomorrow the webcomic starts! But today, I’m heading out. The husband has the day off, and the lake is calling. In about an hour, we’ll be packed and on the road. We might even rent a paddle boat. And I will be trying my best NOT to get sun burnt. I also got some actual writing […]

One week to go!

In one week, Uncommon Animals, the Webcomic will be starting. Today (as we have for the last week), we posted some artwork. Just some preliminary stuff, sneak peaks if you will. We’ll be updating twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday. So bookmark it!

Red Witchy Woman

Even as I prep to release Hedge Doctor: Prom and am polishing Last Call, I’m drafting my second novel, The Red Witch. Today, I’m a little frustrated. It’s a pacing issue. My novels all play with narrative structure. While I kept my shorts and novellas straight forward (For the most part. Talasam and Hunted Down both […]

Wait… what?

Tiny bit of shock as of last night. One of my dedicated betas finished Last Call. I was expecting a lot more pacing issues and whatnot, but basically, nope. So I’m staring at this critique, and I’m about to reread the others (because, Huh? Really?), but I actually may be done with the plotting and […]

What I did today

What started as the two of us discussing angles of exact shots, ending with me staring at my computer screen with rapture as Ashley drew Mina in real time. I’m actually typing this as I watch, just fascinated at seeing my character come to life right in front of me. Thank the gods the kids […]

Focused

It’s almost April. Monsters of Pittsburgh: Omnibus comes out in ten days. And Hedge Doctor: Prom comes out in June. Now the Omnibus, of course, takes care of itself. Those stories are done. But Hedge Doctor needs a proofreading, and the other two stories in the series need a little work still. Nothing major, just a scene […]
