    So last week the beta readers got their copies of Trickster Noir, and now I wait anxiously the feedback they will deliver… I expect to have it all by the end of February, and then the editing begins. After my editing, the Editor gets the book for final edits, which will be March-ish. By April,…

    WordPress tells me this is my 500th blog post on this blog. It’s a milestone… I was thinking, again (a dangerous pasttime, I know) about this blog, and why I do it. It started out as a mommy blog, a way to share pictures and anecdotes of my family with far-flung relatives. Scattered updates, and…

Hope you enjoy, and I still haven’t gotten this out to beta readers, I have been so busy with school. To begin at the beginning, look here: Snippet Round-Up.  ****************************************** “What?” Bella straightened with…

    Another week, another snippet! I really need to get this book out to beta readers, but this has been the week of school adjustments, so I am behind. As always, this is a raw, rough draft! Feel free to point out errors in the comments, but do keep in mind it has a couple layers…

    So I finished it. Woohoo! I’ll start working on a scene I know needs shoring up, doing a pass for major problems, and then it will go to Beta readers. Finally, it will go to an editor before returning for formatting and final covering. Then, marketing and release. It’s a long process, but it could…

    I’m so close to the end of the book, now… I just glanced down and I can see the word count below the edge of the browser. 27,784 words… Wait, you’re saying, I thought you were writing a novel? Surely it’s longer than that. Yeah, it is. What I did with Pixie Noir, and I…

    It’s Monday. Since I’m usually working on the weekends, and this one was no exception, I’m a bit groggy this morning. That’s also partly because I had a nice date-night with my First Reader and we were up late (late, for us middle-aged folk, is past ten, so you know. I may be a college…

    I might as well start the ball rolling. I’m not certain of the release date at the moment, but like Pixie Noir, I will release the first quarter of the book here, on my blog, a bit at a time. Sundays are a good day for me to do snippets, as I’m usually working, or,…

    I think I have posted late every day this week. However, I have also written about 15K words on Trickster Noir, gotten a bunch of other things done, and it was my first full week off from school, so I will beg your pardons and try to do better next week. Tomorrow’s post is already…

    I’m beginning to write Trickster Noir, the sequel to Pixie Noir. To get into the mood, I’m reading noir fiction. I’ve been looking for recommendations, and was given a nice list by friends. For Pixie, I was reading Spillane and Louis L’Amour’s detective stories. I’d been reading Hammett a few months before I started writing…
