The New Schedule and other Housekeeping
Now that I am both recovered from traveling and have begun school again, it’s time to address the blog. I’d decided a while back I wasn’t going to be able to keep up the daily schedule if I was going to write fiction productively. So in 2016 there will be a new blog schedule, as…

New Release!
Just in time for Christmas I’ve released the entire trilogy of Pixie Noir, Trickster Noir, and Dragon Noir under one cover. It’s just shy of 300K words and it’s perfect for gift-giving. One book with three books inside, plus an Author’s Foreward about the writing of the series, and a teaser in the back for…

I know I got a couple of questions about the name I chose for the villainess in Dragon Noir. For naming the fairies in the Pixie for Hire series, I used a loose system based a little bit on Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. You know, Peaseblossom and Mustard Seed… For female fairies, who control the…

Dragon Noir: Snippet 10
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…

Dragon Noir: snippet 9
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…

Dragon Noir: Snippet 8
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…

Dragon Noir: Snippet 7
And I have a cover! Let me know what you think in the comments, there is still a little time for changes. Continuing the War council meeting in the kitchen… You will find the other snippets here. And for the second time that night, jaws dropped around the table. He smirked, almost hidden under the…

Dragon Noir: Snippet Seven
Continuing the War council meeting in the kitchen… You will find the other snippets here. And for the second time that night, jaws dropped around the table. He smirked, almost hidden under the voluminous beard. “I’m not always a hothead. Sometimes I leave that for the boy, here.” He gestured at me. “First, we must…

Dragon Noir: Snippet Six
And the book is done, off to beta readers, and feedback is already coming back. I will have a cover done this weekend, aided by potential bad weather that will trap me in the house so I have to work… or fool around. But I think I’ll at least get the cover done! As always,…

Dragon Noir is Finished!
Well, mostly. I’m sending it out to beta readers this weekend, and it will go to the editors very soon, and there’s no doubt massive re-writing in my future… but it’s done, today. Put the last words on the story. I realized that it’s almost exactly a year from the same thing for Trickster Noir.…

Dragon Noir: Snippet 5
And… I’m still not done writing this. I did get work done on it while I was at LTUE, but I have had dual exams since my return. Going to work on it this weekend, and talked to my editor about sending it to him at the end of the month. So I need to…
