Hi all! I see the house is still standing, and I assume from the oh-so-fresh smell of the kitchen that wild parties were had, then promptly cleaned up after. So what all went on while I was gone?! Did you release something new? Share a story with us! The Goodreads contest for DIAMOND MARKED has... Continue Reading →
This week's Flash Fiction Challenge over at TerribleMinds had random Five Word Titles, with the rules of 1500 words. Two stood out to me: "Someone's Dragon is Double-Parked Outside" and "I Shouldn't Have Swiped Right." If I had done the Swipe one, it was going to be a Vampire story, but since the previous one...

I am a person of Planned dates And confirmed appointments "It'll happen when it happens" Does not compute. "Go with the flow" Only works When the flow is predetermined Which I'm pretty sure Isn't how that works.

Per tradition, the time has arrived to share my writing music with y'all! Writing KING OF DIAMONDS was different than usual; I was locked down in Camp NaNoWriMo mode, and I was much more focused than usual. In fact, I knocked out this entire last portion of the story in 18 days! What made this... Continue Reading →
IT'S SO SPARKLY! Thanks to John Henderson over at HendArt.com for his graphical sorcery! Diamond Marked will be heading your way just after KING OF DIAMONDS. It's the end of an era, y'all.
So~ I'm working on formatting all of the El'Anret stories into a single paperback for you guys (because you didn't know, right?), and I always like to re-visit the rules for formatting when I take on such a task.
