And lo, DRAGON JUSTICE (PSI#4) has gone off to Madame Editrix, and from there into the clutches of the copyeditor, and from there… What began in 2004 with STAYING DEAD has come to a close. Ten books later, the last Cosa Nostradamus novel for Luna has gone into production. There is rare steak and red […]

I woke up this morning to an amazing start to 2012 – we’ve broken $5000 on “From Whence You Came!” *falls over dead of shock* Which means we now not only get an amazing cover from Bob Eggleton (and trust me, it’s pretty damn awesome) but “bonus” sketches too! I have NO idea what Bob’s
Kickstarter Project Update #11: Art! Also, OMG! Read More »
so… I’ve been wondering what to do with the “what happened to Mahault after the events of The Vineart War” realization I had…. Should it be a new Kickstarter bonus for “From Whence You Came”? Should it be saved for some future time? And then I thought – nah. So. If we make it to,
I’m crazy, it’s true, but I’m crazy in that way that you like…. Read More »
“From Whence You Came” is a Go. I repeat, the novella is a go. We have reached 100%. In one month. *falls over OMGYAY! Hugs EVERYONE involved*I admit it, I wasn’t entirely convinced this would work – there’s always this writerly suspicion that people won’t actually PAY to read anything you’ve written, that you’re not
So I’m closing in on 20k words on “From Whence You Came†and I realize that – unlike all the other characters – there are two who have no names, who are only referred to by their job description/titles. And they’re important minor characters, with dialogue and roles to play in the action. So they

Politics does not stop the work. Not much of anything stops the work, short of the flu (avert, avert). My best-beloveds know this (which may explain why my best-beloveds are either likewise focused, or really really mellow). Last night, we crossed the point to 75% funded on “From Whence You Came,” which was the point

*squeak* Less than two weeks in, and we hit $2571! This might really happen, I might get to write this story for y’all! Only $1429 to go. We can do that, right? 286 people who want a full-length, epic fantasy novella [with sea serpents! and magic! And treachery and greed and honor and love!] for

Linky Things: It’s Friday, so you know what that means: Self-publish? Big Six? Something Else? Practical Meerkat has her say, in week 45. My Kickstarter project, a “prequel” novella set in the universe of The Vineart War, hit 51% funded in the first week!  I’ve started writing – I can’t help myself – so I

So I swore I was going to be sensible, and cautious, and not start writing “From Whence You Came” until I had a pretty good idea if this was going to succeed but…. yeah. Well. So much for that plan! Because yesterday the story demanded its share of my writing time. [sleep? who needs sleep?]

The thing about “From Whence You Came” is that I never had any intention of writing it. Master Vineart Bradhai just a bit of backstory in the trilogy, to explain why there were no longer any sea serpents. But I couldn’t get him out of my head – the question of what, exactly he had
