FICTION FRIDAY: WRONG NUMBER AU (kinda)

So it's not so much an AU (alternate universe) and more just...I have no idea if this could possibly ever happen in the course of the novel. Part of that is because I haven't finished it. Part is because I have no idea where the book is going. So I just sat down and started … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: WRONG NUMBER AU (kinda)

FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful Thursday – Labor of Love

Sooooooo this one is a solid like...100 words over where the TTH prompt wanted me but I GOT CARRIED AWAY I'M SORRY. I'm still really pleased with this, though, and it's started to give me some ideas for a book I've been wanting to write for years now. I'll let you be the judge of … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful Thursday – Labor of Love

Let Me Talk To You. …No, More. MORE!

A while back, I was talking to some people...I think on Twitter, about mailing lists and how they differ from blogs. After all, if you subscribe to a blog, you can have (I believe it's an opt-in/out function) the blog posts mailed to you. That's kinda like a newsletter, right? I say things here, and … Continue reading Let Me Talk To You. …No, More. MORE!

BOOK REVIEW: LOCK IN by John Scalzi

Since I attended (or rather, will attend, as of the writing of this review) one of Scalzi's book tour events on Friday the 24th (aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh) I figured it was probably a good idea to read at least something of his. Yeah, I'm a terrible SFF fan and up until now, I hadn't read anything of John … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: LOCK IN by John Scalzi

Let’s Talk Favorites

One of my most dreaded questions whenever someone finds out that I'm a reader is "so what's your favorite book?" or its brother question, "so who's your favorite author?" I have absolutely no idea how to answer this question, because for most of my life, I've never had an answer. I have someone I could … Continue reading Let’s Talk Favorites

FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Daylight Robbery

Literally had never heard the turn of phrase that way, but a quick Wiki search tells me it's another form of "highway robbery"! Neato. So today I'm delving back into one of my few published worlds, because I miss these characters and they deserve more page time. Soren Avalon, digital supervillain, and his significant other, … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful – Daylight Robbery

Read My Book, Please

Any time I get a chance to speak to a published author, whether they be traditionally published or not, I always have a tendency to ask the same question. I ask because I still haven't really gotten a good answer, and it's an important one to me. Particularly since it's likely that I'm going to … Continue reading Read My Book, Please

FICTION FRIDAY: St. Patrick’s Day

Apologies if this is choppy and not as up to par as usual. Part of that is the emotion of the scene, I think, making Alistair's narrative less flowing for me than it usually is. He wasn't good about keeping focus. The other part is that while I was writing, the website I was using … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: St. Patrick’s Day

FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful-Iron Out the Difficulty

Another Thimbleful Thursday post for you! This was meant to be between 450-550 words, and it's just over (sorry, Lyn) but it just grabbed me and wouldn't let go. This is a very very very far sequel-ish to QUEST TO KARANTIRI. We've met Kelina, the princess of the Metadrine elves before. The young man she's … Continue reading FICTION FRIDAY: Thimbleful-Iron Out the Difficulty
