Odd Prompts: Slice of Pie
If you’ve read my story in He Was Dead When I Got There, you’ll recognize the setting and a couple of characters. This is set in my Bluehills series, which will be released under my romance penname, Lilania Begley. *** Coffee and pie in hand, she stepped back out of the kitchen. She’d gotten halfway…

Odd Prompts: Strange New World
Two things: my site was down for a few days, I am sorry for any inconvenience. Should be good now, but don’t hesitate to let me know if something isn’t right. The host I’m using until January has been starting to tinker with the backend. Looking for hosting… And likely moving a lot of the…

Chatty Today
*flexes fingers a few times* Hits the keyboard, hands flying. I’ve been an erratic blogger. Yes, Cedar, you’re thinking, you’ve been like that for… (checks blog date) sixteen years now. I don’t mean that kind of erratic! I mean the kind that doesn’t post on the regular, which means that readers stop coming to see…

Odd Prompts: Special Delivery
This is part of the ongoing WIP, which I really ought to link up I suppose, or not and you’ll have to buy it when I’m done! *** There were lamps. Lamps, and candles, and Bonnie knelt next to the chest, looking up at John with her hands full of slightly honey-scented tapers. “We could…

Betwixt and Between
That’s where life is right now. There’s a big transition in the works, but I’m neither there, nor fully here at this point. This seems to be a theme through my work. I’m working on illustrations for another collaboration with Lawdog, and it seems to be progressing very slowly. Still, in time we’ll have AstroLizards…

State of the Writer
So this is going to be a relatively short update post. Not exciting, sorry, but I have a case of the empty brain today and am sitting here trying to figure out what to write. There are topics that interest me, might not appeal to my readers, but I just don’t have the oomph to…

Nearly There
As I type this, I’m uploading the manuscript for Tanager’s Fledglings… It needs to be checked on various devices (during which process we will find typos, they are inevitable!) before it’s ready to launch. I’m also thinking I might tweak the blurb a bit. This is what I have, what do you all think? Jem…

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…

Saturday Snippet: Pixie Noir
Pixie Noir is scheduled to be released Dec. 1, 2013. Now, that’s an exciting sentence for me. You might not understand it unless you read my blog regularly and know that it’s my second novel, and I’m really happy with it. Even better, my beta readers have liked it. Yesterday evening I sent it off…

Working on a title
I am getting ready to publish this short story, and I don’t have a name for it. Well, I do, but I don’t like it. I’ve been calling it the Smith and the Gardener. Which is accurate enough, I suppose, but cumbersome, and vague. So far the suggestions from beta readers have been good. I’m…
