Cady Drake meets the world – Sneak peek…
Becky did a gorgeous job. The book with the new cover is already showing up in a couple places, but I’ll do a check and links tomorrow, along with the cover reveal. This is just because it took me all day to get the book done and published.

The Wishbone Conspiracy: My odd discovery about writing Cady
I got 2056 words today on The Wishbone Conspiracy. Finished Chapter 2, and now am 586 words into Chapter 3. I did this in about an hour and a half writing time — eight ten-minute timers and part of a ninth. The story flowed, the characters did interesting things. And I discovered that my mystery character…

Wrote for right at two hours today. Got on a roll, did not want to quit. Got 2269 words on The Wishbone Conspiracy. Cady has a new job and a new client, and in what has to be a very bad sign, both Storm Rat and Tarko have volunteered to go along with her on…

Got my words on Wishbone Conspiracy
Got a good chunk of the novel note-carded with my current best ideas on how it will go, and wrote a big chunk of words of background and outlining, plus 1151 words of the actual story. And I like what I got. This being Saturday, I’m not supposed to be writing fiction. Saturday and Sunday…

Completed revision of The Owner’s Tale today – Next big step to getting back to Moon & Sun
This is the first revision I’ve ever done that didn’t even require the fixing of a typo on the first twenty-four pages, and had only the addition of a hyphen on page twenty-five. This is the lightest revision of a first draft I have ever done. And it’s making me a little crazy that I…

Published the WARPAINT Soundtrack
It took a while to find the right music for WARPAINT. First, this is the music I have playing in the background while I write, so it has to fit the universe, the characters, and the “feel” of a lived-in place full of real humans, real needs, and the themes of the story. And it…
