Welcome to February, the coldest, shortest month of the year. For this monthly flash piece, I decided to use the official birthstone, Amethyst, instead of the month. I couldn’t envision anyone naming a child February, even in a fantasy setting, so Amethyst was born. This flash piece is based on an ‘almost story’ I’ve had bouncing around my head for several years. It’s something I’ve wanted to write, but the story simply wouldn’t gel for…
To ring in the new year, I’m going to try something new for the site. Since my rabid squirrel brain can’t seem to stay on task when it comes to my flash fiction, I’m aiming at a monthly entry relating to the current month: birthstones, holidays, solstices, the month itself, whatever I can think of. Here’s hoping it lasts longer than a month or two before it wanders off to play in the woods. This…
Hello! 2022 has been quite a year. I’ve continued my inability to concentrate on television or movies, so there’ll be no recap of what shows I’ve enjoyed or movies I’ve watched. The answer is none. Always none. I have hit a slight reading slump, preferring rereading favorites or sticking with trusted authors. However! I have been writing. Here’s what I’ve done and a peek at what’s in store.
With NaNoWriMo finally over and edits on the horizon, I wanted to revisit each of my current works a snippet at a time. First up is the book that started it all. Subject 5691: Petri began as a flash serial based around a photo prompt. That first small snippet, much like Petri, took on a mind of its own and became the start of not one but two series: The Edgeworld Chronicles and the Wolves…
It’s that time of the year. No, not that one. Nope, not that one either. Wait…no, stay on track! This isn\’t about holidays, it’s about the most wonderful, hectic stressful time of the year! It’s time for National Novel Writing Month, where authors near and far scramble to write 50,000 words in 30 days. With the Wolves of Sorrow the perfect length for a NaNo project and Sorcha giving me fits, I’ve chosen to throw…
Today, I’m stepping back into Barif, the new home of the wolves of Sorrow for a sweet flash piece. During Izabel’s book, she and her mate fly over a scenic area of waterfalls unlike anything remaining on Earth Prime. They aren’t able to stop. So much had happened and Ranoch needed to return to Korlyn\’s Glen, but he promised his Izabel they’d return. This is their first trip. Warning: this story may be NSFW and…
Today, I’m helping out a wonderful author, Rosanna Leo, with a cover reveal of her upcoming romance featuring a haunted B&B, a tragic love story, and a ghost hunting trio of sisters. Blurb, reveal, and all the links after the break below.
Just one more week until Izabel goes live! You can preorder it here or read it on Kindle Unlimited after September 20. As pack healer, Izabel has always been a steady presence in the pack until that first glorious rainstorm on their new home planet brings Security Director Ranoch Til into her life. Click through for a quick teaser of their first kiss.
f Things It’s been a frantic few weeks here with the big giveaway over on Ellen Mint‘s page followed by the upcoming release of Wolves of Sorrow: Izabel (two weeks! *internal screaming*). In between the promo of those I’ve been working on my secret project, plotting out the next two books in the Wolves of Sorrow series, while trying to settle on the direction of the Ravyn’s book which will conclude the Edgeworld Chronicles.
Chuck Wendig is back at it again with Flash Fiction prompts! This week, he’s offered up a series of AI Art generated doors. Pick one and tell a story about it. I was feeling particularly indecisive, so I chose all five! If you want to play along, the prompt is on his website. Write your thing, post to your own space, and link to his. Or just go over and read what’s on offer. You do…
