Since it’s the day after Halloween, I thought I’d stay with my creepy theme a little longer and give you some horror! Since I love vampires and I love historical fiction, here’s a bit of Mooner to help you recover from your Halloween! And remember – for a look at more authors, be sure to … More WeWriWa: Drink Up!
I feel like I’ve done a lot of genre fiction excerpts this week, so for Weekend Writing Warriors let’s briefly revisit one of my literary pieces, The Other Man! One of the things that got me through such a heavy piece was that I included some hilarious interaction with Andrew’s two children…not that I ever acted … More WeWriWa: The Other Man (or the return of Mrs. Lederhosen)
I’m trying to get back into this, because there are so many excellent authors putting out little snippets over the weekend and I miss them. Be sure to check out the full weekend writing warrior list, too! Today’s sentences come from one of my older releases, the literary drama The Other Man. Andrew’s disenchanted with how … More WeWriWa: The Other Man
Oh, why not? Let’s kick off December with one of my gentler pieces. I love this story – I can identify with both Holly’s cynicism and exhaustion and Ivy’s idealism and naivete a bit. Eventually I may come back to that world, but this story of two unusual friends – one human and one dryad … More WeWriWa: Holly and Ivy
It’s been a while, so I decided to participate in Weekend Writing Warriors this week! This week’s eight comes from the first chapter of Olde School. Ippick, Uljah, and Paddlelump are at lunch at Trip Trap’s Diner, and Uljah and Paddlelump discuss the finer points and frustrations of owning a bridge… The Eight: “Ye get … More WeWriWa: Olde School
I’m once more trying to get back in the swing of things after a fairly busy past few months. Today’s eight is from a re-release of my historical vampire story, Mooner. This bit is when Bill, the naive upstart in the lumber camp, notices Tom, a reclusive, down-and-out fur-trader, in Red’s Saloon. While Big John … More WeWriWa: Mooner
This week I’m taking another bit from a horror story, but it’s somewhat different than the other-worldly fiction of The Invisibles. This piece is from Candles, which can also be found in my collection Lost in the Shadows. It’s a zombie story set against the backdrop of Christmas Eve, where a widowed mother with two … More WeWriWa: Candles
Today I’m thrilled to be able to take my eight from the just-released anthology, Thunder in the Battlefield (vol. 2, Sorcery). My story, The Ruins of St. Louis, combines elements of post-apocalyptic fiction, magic, adventure, a quest, a prophecy, and everything else that makes sword and sorcery kick-butt. This eight follows notorious smuggler/pirate, thief, fighter, … More WeWriWa: The Ruins of St. Louis (Thunder on the Battlefield: Sorcery)
Trying to get back in the swing of things. Step one – get back into doing some group stuff, and Weekend Writing Warriors is first on the list! My eight sentences for this weekend come from my re-release with Mocha Memoirs Press, The Other Man! It’s a slightly different style for me, since I usually … More WeWriWa: The Other Man
