Happy Halloween! I’ll have a larger update on Friday, full of thrills, chills, and sadly unrealized potential, but in celebration of Halloween, I wanted to share a small, somewhat spooky snippet from See These Bones. No context… no backstory… just a simple case of boy meets girl that isn’t so simple at all. As always,…
If it feels like this so-called Summer Wrap Party has been dragging on for weeks, that’s because it has. Thankfully, (for you, me, and the bent-but-not-yet-totally-broken laws of physics), today’s post is the final installment. Cue the trumpets and fireworks! Then, segue into sad trombones, because the only thing longer than this wrap-up is…
The 5 R’s In Part 1 of this impromptu Summer 2018 Wrap Party, I talked about my participation in #SFFPit, and the queries that resulted. Several of those queries swiftly became rejections, but the last turned into that most rare of things. No, not an offer of representation–there’s rare and then there’s just plain fictional–but…
I’m happy to report that the mountains of boxes referenced in my last post have been successfully reduced to hills, and that the topography of our temporary townhouse’s interior has greatly improved as a result. After the world’s briefest status update, it seems only fitting that we now go to the opposite extreme. That’s…
Apologies for the recent silence. As you can see, there’s been a lot of stuff going on, and precious little has had anything to do with writing. I’ll be back with a real status update once the mountain of unpacked boxes has been successfully turned into a series of small hills of unpacked boxes….
It’s been more than a month since I posted the final installment of my short story, The Stars That Sing. Now that the dust has settled, I thought it would be fun to do a quick retrospective. What went well? What went poorly? What is the sure-fire secret to overnight internet fame and success? I…
Well, it took a few weeks, all told, but we’ve finally reached the conclusion to The Stars That Sing, and I’m excited to hear what you all think. If you want to re-read previous chapters (or arrived at this page without having done so), you can start over with Chapters 1 and 2 here,…
It’s time for yet another #TwoChapterTuesday. With only a handful of chapters to go, the action is definitely heating up, and I am curious to hear what you all think! If you want to re-read previous chapters (or arrived at this page without having done so), you can start over with Chapters 1…
Welcome to another #TwoChapterTuesday! If you want to re-read previous chapters (or arrived at this page without having done so), you can start over with Chapters 1 and 2 here, and then follow the links at the bottom of each post to progress through the story. And now, on with the tale. Remember;…
After much thought and a lack of outright rejection from the peanut gallery, I’ve opted to dub these weekly posts, #TwoChaptersTuesday. Hopefully, the hashtag is self-explanatory. (Why I’m using a hashtag on a website, on the other hand, might be less so.) Anyway, now that we’ve met our main characters, it’s time…
