Lab Gremlins Chapter Headings

October 17, 2018

A while back a colleague had commented that fun chapter headings were not completely outré in the Indie publishing world. Since I, too, have delightful memories of quirky chapter titles that gave you a tease of the content of that chapter, I thought I’d give in to my sense of whimsy and make the chapter… Read More Lab Gremlins Chapter Headings

Snippet 4: Tanager’s Fledglings

July 15, 2016

I’m really late with this. I’ve been up to my elbows in housework and I still have a ways to go until it’s all done. The next few days will be a little shaky around the blog as I’ll be focused on family life and traveling. I don’t really have an update on this –… Read More Snippet 4: Tanager’s Fledglings

Jade Star Snippet 5

September 3, 2015

I have hit a snag with finishing this. I mean, I thought I had finished it, and I sent it to beta readers. In record time – 100% turnaround in 24 hours – I had my answer. Moar! they said. It needs more. So… I’m letting it sit and simmer a bit longer on the… Read More Jade Star Snippet 5

Jade Star Snippet 4

August 27, 2015

The end draws nigh, and I am hoping to have this off to either beta readers or my editor by the end of the week. Not sure about the betas, since I hope to publish this collection – tentatively titled Twisted Mindflow – by the end of September. My First Reader is telling me that… Read More Jade Star Snippet 4

Jade Star: Snippet 3

August 19, 2015

I will snippet for another couple of weeks and then release the collection. I’m not done writing this story, but I do know what the plot arc is, and all I have to do is follow my character through her journey to the end-point, scribbling hasty notes… As always, a snippet is a rough draft,… Read More Jade Star: Snippet 3

Jade Star: Snippet 2

August 13, 2015

The second snippet from my WIP. You can find the first one here, from earlier this week. Slow progress, I guess I’m still in vacation mode. Need to get my head straight.  Jade Star As I said, though, hard to be angry with them when it was clear they were pleased as anything over their… Read More Jade Star: Snippet 2

Breaking the Block: Jade Star Snippet 1

August 11, 2015

I’m sitting here this morning contemplating what I want to write about. Really, I want to go write fiction. Yesterday in the early evening, while digging through old files looking for stories to include in the collection I’m compiling, I found a scrap I’d forgotten I’d written. Since I have in mind to create some… Read More Breaking the Block: Jade Star Snippet 1

Dragon Noir: Snippet 10

Dragon Noir

You will find the previous snippets here… Great White Hunter I wheezed for air, and managed to hold up my hands so he could see them empty. “Conrad, dammit…” I had to stop and suck wind. “Hellifino who you are.” He boomed, from close range. I was bent over trying not to throw up, and… Read More Dragon Noir: Snippet 10

Dragon Noir: snippet 9

March 19, 2015
Dragon Noir

You can find the earlier snippets at the Snippet Herding page (in the main menu. I will repair the link as soon as I can). Morning came far too early, after that late of a night. Ellie didn’t come in with the coffeepot as she often did, and not for the first time I wondered… Read More Dragon Noir: snippet 9

Dragon Noir

You can find the other snippets here… First Marriage “I’d been told I’d die, after the elfshot. But hours turned into days turned into months… Mother was concerned about me, I’m sure. But she seemed more concerned that I would die and there would be no one left to carry on the Mulvaney line. Our… Read More Dragon Noir: Snippet 8

Proof of our Resolve
4 of 5 stars
Proof of our Resolve
by Chris Hernandez
Don't come to Proof of our Resolve expecting a novel. It reads like a military memoir, and given Hernandez' background, I expect that in some ways it is. This is a fiction book, and it hasn't got a plot. Well, not really. It is a linear ...

Webster's English-Spanish Dictionary, Grades 6 - 12: Classic Reference Library
by American Education Publishing
Look, this book didn't have the words for bug, insect, farm, or goat. I was expecting a little more from it. Like more words! If you're only working on the basics, it's ok. Anything more advanced, forget this.

Impossible Odds
by Jenna Vincent
A pair of impossibly good short stories. Short stories, unlike a novel, are like priming a pump. There’s a story arc there, and it takes place within the pages of the book, but there is so much more that leaves your mind racing with que...
