I’m liking the girl’s voice. Her name is Talyn, her friend’s name is Nadee, and the boy for whom she is about to get herself into some serious shit is name Fean. So far. Nothing is ever cast in stone. Enough for one night. I like this material, though. I’m excited. More tomorrow. … Continue reading →
I like the unnerving little dagger at the end of scene three. It sets up tomorrow’s scene nicely; I find myself already eager to jump in. Good sign. It’s like having something left in the tank after a morning run; like knowing you could sit down and do the whole thing again. Now to FALLEN SUNS, and finding the girl … Continue reading →
They do that sometimes. Back to work. Starting at 2369, with the rest of the scene for The Wreck of Heaven, and then stuff for the FALLEN SUNS project. Onward. … Continue reading →

But not for too long, because while there is conflict in remembering all you have lost, it isn’t quite the exciting sort of conflict that comes from walking between worlds or coming face to face with your dead sister.

Poor Lauren. Sucks to be her — that’s all I have to say. And … Continue reading →
Did it again. And it’s always at around the 700 – 800 word mark that I get the uncontrollable itch to check. What the hell. It’s rolling pretty well — Lauren got Pete out of the house and now she is about to get world-changing news from the invisible vey�r in the foyer. It’s one of those “good news, bad … Continue reading →
I’ve mentioned that Betsy (my Warner Aspect editor) didn’t want another book set in Matrin, though I’m not certain if I mentioned it here. Anyway, I put together a kick-ass new world, a magic system I love, and, unfortunately, a story that didn’t work. However, Russ Galen, my agent, pointed out the parts of it that did work. And I … Continue reading →
Scene two done. Chapter One done. And I’ve left it with a nice cliffhanger to get me rolling tomorrow. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! … Continue reading →
Set-up more for the book after this one than for this one (which has a very definite, fixed direction), but it’s given the chapter a few nice grace notes. Now to add in a bit of spice, and a touch of fear. … Continue reading →
