Take Notes, This is How It’s Done

Dragon Age: Inquisition arrived at my house almost two weeks ago, and I’ve been playing it non-stop since then. (The game is MASSIVE, and I know I still have a ways to go. At least I’m getting my money’s worth! Writing can wait.) I’ll reserve my final judgment for when I finish my first playthrough, […]

My Mind is Everywhere Except this Blog

This is just a quick check-in so I can stop feeling guilty about the “last post” date whenever I sign in to Blogger.

Elysium (or, My Sudden Bout of Shyness)

So I signed another contract this week. It’s for another novella for the 1Night Stand series, titled Elysium. I started work on it right after I finished The Fall of the Midnight Scorpions and blazed through all 20K words of it in about a month. Truthfully, I’m not quite sure why I didn’t blog about […]

Copycats

It’s been said for a while that there are no truly original ideas anymore. Which, well, maybe. I haven’t decided whether I agree or disagree with that, but I subscribe to the concept that it’s all about how you spin an idea and make it your own, and not whether the core ideas are similar […]

Cross Post: The Name of the Person Sharing Your Bed

I’m over at the 1Night Stand blog today talking about the inspiration for Second Skin. Well, truthfully, I’m talking more about my love for Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but I promise the two are related! Go check it out, and I’ll be back here in a few days with a new, fresh, shiny […]

It’s Only Words

It took some time, but I seem to have finally gotten some writing mojo back. I finished up the first draft for a short story I plan on submitting to an anthology, and I’m starting to get super excited about the projects I intend to work on next. Writing for anthologies is always an interesting […]
