It’s fairly obvious that my love of fantasy and my love of music really fuel In the Red. That comes across pretty blatantly, and I probably don’t even have to say that’s the case anymore. Yet there’s something else that fueled that story, or rather something that I discovered part way into the piece. In … More Fantasy, Rock n’ Roll, and…Getting Spiritual?
What can I say, I have a lot of love to give to this book. This week’s six comes from where we first get to see the alter-ego of Jeremiah Kensington (J.K. Asmodeus), in action on stage. The Six: One red foot swung up and knocked the guitarist in the back of the leg, sending … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red (yet more)
Because I’ve been talking about my love of rock lately, how about a 12 Sentence Saturday all about the band in my book, the Sons of Pandemonium? After all, we haven’t really seen much of J.K. Asmodeus yet. The Twelve: J.K. had never understood drummers, but he had to admire a guy who would attack … More 12 Sentence Saturday: More ‘In the Red’
So yeah, I do like trashy rock folklore. I also plain like rock (especially classic rock and eighties metal). So I suppose this begs a few questions, mainly… How does a fairly straight-laced, small-town chick with a classical music background end up getting into something so different? And what’s it like to write something so … More On loving rock and writing trashy
No, I don’t mean the showtime series. Today I’m thinking about one of my influences for In the Red. I’ve loved fairy tales since I was a little girl. I was immersed in all sorts of versions from a very young age. While I tend to lean towards Grimm, Eastern European, and Russian tales, I’ve also … More Before Red Boots there were Red Shoes
Time for another Six Sentence Sunday! And it’s a special Sunday, because it’s also my birthday! (I shall accept any tribute or gratuitous praise throughout the day…) Anyway, this week’s six again comes from my just-released first novel, In the Red! This happens at the very beginning of the book, when the protagonist Jeremiah Kensington … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red (more)
So apparently I was a week early with 12 Sentence Saturday…(eh, at the very least I’m dedicated. And an overachiever.) So this week I would also like to do twelve sentences from In the Red, but I suppose to be fair they should be a different 12. So let’s see… This bit happens at the … More 12 Sentence Saturday (for real): In the Red
First off, thanks for all the kind words, comments, and well-wishes! You guys are awesome! So, I bet you’re wondering how a short e-book that was supposed to be out in May, then got moved to the end of July, suddenly ended up becoming a novel that’s out now. As a writer and a generally … More The saga behind In the Red…or wait a minute, it’s awfully late in the year for May!
I’m back and ready for another Six Sentence Sunday! This week’s six are from my new release and first novel, In the Red! The Six I’m holding history that isn’t supposed to exist. When The One took the stage, any competition turned tail and ran. It was said that the one time the singer revealed … More Six Sentence Sunday: In the Red
At the risk of posting a lot of updates right in a row, I’d like to catch everyone up on some places I’ve been and some things I’ve been up to. Had a great time in a group podcast chat about the relationship between authors and reviewers and bloggers. A lot of great info got … More updates, edits, and new projects!
