I probably shouldn’t post so many of these, but I can’t seem to resist. Kira and friends are just so much fun. Snippet “You’re right about that,” Kira said. “This isn’t a war ship.” Confusion flitted across [Redacted 1’s} face. “Which means we can do what we want,” Raider agreed. He and Kira burst into…
I have writer’s block this afternoon. So you get a tiny snippet. “Oh, good. You’re familiar. That saves time,” Raider crooned. The man searched the air over Kira’s shoulder, his expression growing increasingly spooked. Jin coughed and stepped forward. “Am I the one you’re looking for?” The lack of comprehension on the human’s face made…
A snippet for your weekend. Jin’s cheeks developed the slightest flush as his gaze wandered away from hers. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “You know—I think I can grow to like this version of you. It’s so much easier to tell when you’re lying,” Kira drawled. Jin’s eyes flashed to hers. “No.” “Yup.”…
To my relief, people seemed to enjoy spending time in Gus’s head. I guess that means the short story is a go. Good thing because I’ve already written three chapters and have a vague idea of what direction her story will take. The change in perspective did exactly as I’d hoped and gave me a…

I’m feeling somewhat charitable today. While rereading an earlier section of the book to remind myself of past events, I was struck by the thought that you might enjoy it as well. Also, I feel bad because it’s been so long since the last book 🙂 Excerpt Himoto always said that the hardest thing in…
Here’s a tiny glimpse of the current work in progress. And I do mean tiny. Also for those who will ask–yes, I’m working on the next book in the Firebird series. As always, I make no promises that the content will make it into the final draft. Things are still very much in flux. Excerpt…
Apparently, the book was coming along a little too well because the writing gods must have decided I needed a gut check and threw a pair of massive curve balls my way. Last Monday I was in my groove. I wrote my 3000 words. Good words too. Words I was proud of. The story felt…
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone came through the holiday season in one piece and relatively healthy.

From Thanksgiving until now, it seems like the majority of…
