    Writing Update: “The Sorcerers’ Bargain”

    It’s been a while! Mostly because I have learned that I can’t do all things all the time.  That doesn’t, however, mean I haven’t been writing (and plotting … always with the plotting!). “The Sorcerers’ Bargain” is done!

  • Books I Stayed Up Too Late Reading: ‘Hunted’ by Vanessa Nelson

    Is there anything better than forgetting you pre-ordered a book and then finding it in your kindle? I’m pretty sure the answer is ‘no’! Unless, of course, you don’t make that discovery until fairly late in the day … and then you’re one of those people who can’t put down a book to save your…

  • Random Writing Prompt: Half an hour before sunrise …

    The world was still sleeping. The moon hung low and heavy in the sky, her light turning the familiar paths into a much more treacherous journey. He blew out a quiet breath and watched the supplicants come. Even in the moonlight, they were easy to see. The first glowed with the torchlight of his party:…
