(Finished the first Mass Effect! Now I’m trying to get back into good writing habits and complete some projects before ordering ME2.) Trope: Violently Protective Girlfriend Description: Do not mess with the boyfriend of the Violently Protective Girlfriend. It will not end well for you. Just as mothers instinctively protect their children, the Violently Protective […]
I’m about a third of the way through the first Mass Effect and I’m enjoying it so far. Might as well make this week’s Trope-tastic Thursday somewhat relevant! Trope: (Green-Skinned) Space Babe Description: The attractive alien with mostly human features so having sex with her (or sometimes him) isn’t too squicky. While the fictional aliens […]
That time has come again – I am spending most of my free time not writing, not knitting, but losing myself to a game. I finally got the first Mass Effect working, and while I’m not madly in love with it yet like I was with Dragon Age 2, I’m getting the hang of it […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you’re snuggling up with something (or someone) steamy and dreamy!

Every hero’s got his flaws, depending on […]
Trope: Hot Chick in a Badass Suit Description: The Hot Chick in a Badass Suit means business – don’t mess with her, or you will probably regret it. She’s successful and she’s confident in both her profession and the way she carries herself. While short skirts are a possibility, she can look just as good […]
Congratulations to Kat and Kristin, who won e-copies of Disintegration! Enjoy! I forget if I just coyly hinted at it or outright stated it, but either way: I am writing a sequel to Searching the Skies. (And I do have plans for a third book in that series, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves […]
(Don’t forget to enter the Disintegration release giveaway if you haven’t already!) Trope: Significant Green Eyed Red Head Description: What it says. 😉 Okay, okay, I know this is a pretty minor trope, but it’s timely, so bear with me.
