Misfits 2, Chapter 2, Part 2

I was waffling about posting a Misfits 2 excerpt this week. Firstly, my week went a little sideways, because we had to go off island yesterday for an emergency specialist appointment for Molly (an ulcer in her eye) that, within 30 minutes, turned into an upcoming appointment for a $3500 eyelid surgery. (And we literally […]

Misfits 2, Chapter 2, Part 1

I’m celebrating getting Conduit 4 into the editor (and out of my mind, hopefully, for 10-14 days – yay) by dropping a longer Kandy excerpt (below!). YAY! I’m going to play around with Kandy’s book until it’s time for me to do another draft of Conduit 4 (based on the editor’s story notes), so I’m […]

Misfits 2, Chapter 1, Part 4

I’m deep in the Conduit 4 second draft as I watch over my Molly Millions (she’s starting to feel better but hasn’t eaten yet) so it’s just short excerpt this week (& the end of Chapter 1). I really only managed to glance at it once before posting, but I hope you enjoy it anyway! […]

Misfits 2, Chapter 1, Part 3

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. […]

Misfits 2: Chapter 1, Part 2

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 […]

Conduit 2: “I exist in the now.”

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 […]

Conduit 2: “You saw me die.”

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 […]

Conduit 2: keeping us apart

Just a little teaser that snagged my attention while writing today. 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 Because I need the conversation to move much, much quicker, I offer a truth of my […]

Conduit 2: You like to watch, don’t you?

Just a little teaser that amused me while writing it today – with a few redacted lines because, you know, spoilers! 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 […]
