    This week I brainstormed, wrote, and turned in a short scifi story in my Maj and the Outlaws universe for an anthology coming out later this year that I’m co-editing and publishing with two friends of mine!

    Praise be to the alarms that reminded me to do this. Update! This week I wrote an urban fantasy short story in my Bone Witch series for an upcoming St. Patty’s day anthology. I wrote it mostly into the dark (that is, no outline) and wrapped up at 7600 words. That was sent to the…

    Ok, first thing’s first, Last Friday I didn’t update because I was traveling. I was in Vegas for the week taking an incredible number of notes on Space Opera and all of its inner workings, attempting to internalize all that lecture, and then also writing a story so I could get critique from my instructor.…

    Friday Update 12/20/24

    This week is all about words! I’m through the opening stages of Vampire Exposed (Hellebore Court #3), just shy of 8k. Since I’m about to start chapter 4, this means Exposed will be slightly longer than the previous novella. I’m looking at a total of 25-27k to wrap it up. This is nicely within my…
