Already feeling slightly better, I happily spent the day working through the story editor’s notes on Compelling Infinity (Archivist […]

Anchored in the Moment (Moments of the Adept Unvierse 0.7) aka Audrey 0.5 – First draft. Done. 🙂 Set after Dowser 1, and featuring Desmond, this ‘moment’ turned into a fun and sexy short. I was just going to share it on my blog, but I might also put out a random newsletter next week. […]

Amplifier 4: the re-reading of
Though I have Amplifier 5 all roughly outlined, I’m finding it difficult to force myself to focus on the first draft while the editor has Archivist 2. I’ve been writing Dusk, not Emma, for almost a year straight, and I have two side projects, not counting the short stories, that are occupying a lot of […]
Writing update: Compelling Infinity (Archivist 2) is off to the editor (aka SFG) for story editing. Finally! With the increase of pain (tried hormone therapy from Feb to July which helped with a ton of my other symptoms but unfortunately worsened the constant headache), my writing capacity was really slowed down. Thankfully, while I’m still […]
I didn’t risk glancing back a third time. I knew what I had to do. And I needed to move quickly, without regrets. Because I was a dragon, not a witch. And dragons protected the world and all the magic within it. – Compelling Infinity (Archivist 2), Chapter Nine, Second Draft In other news, all […]
A drive-by excerpt of my current work in progress (Archivist 2), just because it made me laugh. Ravine pushed a plate into my hands. “Kellan is manning the barbecue. Literally.” She grinned suggestively. “Cooking steak perfectly, wearing an apron, and exposing those … forearms. You might want to take a picture.” I blinked. Once again […]
I just dropped From One Moment to the Next (Moments of the Adept Universe 0.5) (aka Kandy 0.75) into the inboxes of my newsletter subscribers, and as promised, I actually remembered to start a discussion thread! The short (2600k) is just a sweet (well, my version of sweet) glimpse into Kandy’s life. It is set between her […]

MCD’s newsletter: troubleshooting
I’m about to send another free download treat to my mailing list/newsletter subscribers, so I thought I should finally get around to clarifying a few FAQs about how to subscribe, how to check that you’re subscribed, etc. This way I can just refer my lovely readers to this post when needed. It’s lovely that no […]

Sometimes writing looks like …
… digging through every mention of the Llewellyn family in my master Adept Universe bible, then every mention of uncles and cousins in a specific book – this time it was I See You (Oracle 2). All to roughly sketch out a family tree in order to verify that the current (previously unnamed) alpha of […]
