Reminder that this is a ‘older’ first draft that was actually written before Kandy’s three prequel shorts, so there might be some continuity issues. I think I’m finding and patching most of them as I work through these early sections, but some might slip through until I really dig back into the writing full time. […]

Note: I can’t commit to posting this weekly yet, but you all enjoyed the first chunk so much that – once I get Conduit 4 into second draft stage – I might be able to work on this book a little bit more. No promises! FYI: Any text in brackets just needs to be double […]
Look at me actually getting this scheduled the day ahead! Still no preorder up yet (I’m waiting on the new book covers, and the ediiting schedule, etc) If you missed it, here is: Snag (Conduit 2), Chapter 1, Part 1 and Chapter 1, Part 2 This excerpt is from the second draft, unedited, unproofed, of Snag […]
Okay! I feel like holing up for the rest of the week (and as much of next week as I can manage) and just writing, writing, writing, so here is the promised excerpt slightly early today. If you missed it, here is: Snag (Conduit 2), Chapter 1, Part 1 This excerpt is from the second […]
First, let’s all pretend I know what day of the week it is and I didn’t miss posting this excerpt yesterday. All right? 😂 Second, every excerpt I post from here onward is rife with spoilers. All of the Conduit books pick up from where the last one ended. Like … without more than a […]

As always, these are the first words on the page and subject to a lot of tweaking over the next four drafts. Content of note: mildly explicit language Rought’s phone vibrates with an incoming […]
Teaser Tuesday: Mirth, Part 2 Okay! I’m going to try to revive #TeaserTuesday with a longer excerpt on my blog and a shorter excerpt on my socials. It’s a bit tricky because Mirth, Part 2 is filled with massive spoilers. Side note: I’m also doing #WIPWednesday with Conduit 2 on my socials. 😁 The momentary […]
[I just realized I hadn’t shared this illustration here, and I need it for the Extras and Freebies page 😁][it is also in the limited-edition eBook of Mirth, Part One]. CONTENT NOTE: language The door to the suite opens. Anne hustles in. She’s wearing a light-gold full-length wrap-style silk dress. She pauses just inside the […]
