  • Snippet 4: Tanager’s Fledglings

    Snippet 4: Tanager’s Fledglings

    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 –…

    Tanager’s Fledglings: Snippet 3

    As always, this is a work in progress. All rights remain with me, and the finished product may vary from these samples. I will be taking most if not all the snippets down once the novel is published.  Speaking of progress, it has been slow, but the novella which is a story set in this…

    Tanager’s Fledglings: Snippet 1

    I may have snipped this before – actually, I think I have. Sorry for the repeat, but this is the official run-up to the novel. It has been edited and altered from the original opening scenes since I decided to take a plotted short story and blow it all the way up into novel, and…

    Design and a Promo

    Free book, and an educational article on design. I’m up at Mad Genius Club today with an article on facets of design that can be useful to those who are creating or purchasing book covers, ads, and promotional materials, among other uses. Understanding design can be helpful for many applications, I’ve just picked some highlights…

  • Jade Star Snippet 4

    Jade Star Snippet 4

    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…

  • Jade Star: Snippet 3

    Jade Star: Snippet 3

    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,…

  • Jade Star: Snippet 2

    Jade Star: Snippet 2

    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…

  • Is this… Morning?

    Is this… Morning?

    I think I overdid it yesterday. Between spring rising, and house guests at the end of the week, I’d decided it was time to do a big cleaning. So today I’m sore and stiff and just a wee bit cranky. Did I mention I have midterms all this week? Yeah. So I’ll be studying. However,…

  • Dragon Noir: Snippet One

    Here it is, the first snippet. I’m not finished writing the book, and I’m not going to finish in time. However, I don’t expect to have it take much longer than I’d originally planned, and the publication will still take place in March if all keeps going to plan. Which it might not. However, I…

  • Farmhand

    Sometime in the next month, a new piece of my work will come out. Only it won’t appear as Cedar Sanderson, author. The reason for this is that I’m trying a new genre, and to keep from confusing my readers who expect fairies, pixies, and ogres to pop out of the woodwork, or space ships…

  • Incredibly Late

    I know, I’m late, I’m late… but it’s been an interesting day so far. Three weeks worth of laundry, and the First Reader is sick, poor man, so I did it solo. But I managed about 1500 words in the wash and dry cycles, and I think this novella is going to be ready by…
