Made by MeghanWrote a long post. Cried. Felt utterly ineffectual. And scared. So, so scared, not only for the women of America (and anyone with a uterus, or anyone who loves a person with a uterus) but for the far-reaching ramifications that will ripple across the border into Canada. (I recognize this is a selfish thought today, […]
I’m working through a smoothing pass on the fourth draft of Instincts and Imposters (Amplifier 5) over the next few days, then the book goes off for line and content editing. I came upon this little snippet in a brand new section that I wrote based on the story editor’s notes. It made me smile, […]
I have successfully gotten all of the last round of Mystery Boxes packaged and labeled. They just need to be dropped at the post office. Yay! I then PREPACKED (look at me being all efficient!) ten more Mystery Boxes! And made those ten random Adept Universe Mystery Boxes available in my store. $45 CDN+ CDN and USA shipping included. […]
The boxes showed up!! YAY! I’ve made ten Amplifier Series Mystery Boxes available in my store. $45 CDN+ CDN and USA shipping included. Click the previous link for more info and/or to purchase. Each box includes one autographed Amplifier Series paperback, three oracle card stickers (I’ve randomized it so you get a fun mini reading with your package), one MCD bookplate, and a random postcard. […]
Wow! Two updates from me in two days! I’m feeling rather productive! I just sent Recon Mission: Bee (Amplifier 5.5) aka Zans’ novella off to the sensitivity reader, Natasha Lane. And I’ll forward her notes along with the manuscript to SFG (the editor) once she turns around on her read. Yay! I’ve also started a […]
I’m pleased to announce that I just dropped Instincts and Imposters (Amplifier 5) into the editor’s inbox for story editing (the first stage of editing, also called developmental editing). To celebrate I thought I’d share a tiny snippet that Michael highlighted with a laughing face when he beta read the book last week. Aiden flashed […]
… but not without one more last hurrah. My Friday started off exactly as planned. Pilates, hot chocolate, and then into the office to write the final chapter of Amplifier 5 – the denouement I’ve had in my head for over a year. I climbed on my treadmill, put on my computer glasses, and started […]
I know some of you just wish I would write faster instead of sharing work-in-progress snippets. But I have to celebrate the little things that hit me in the moment! Like a sort of reverse fuel, you know? Sometimes … it’s not just the sad stuff that makes me blubber while writing … I slid […]
Lani grunted noncommittedly. “Mercury herself is something pretty to look at though. Miles and miles of creamy skin and those white blue wolf eyes.” She flashed me a grin. “I might grab some tea first.” I shook my head at her, but she sauntered off toward the treats with her hands still stuffed in her […]
… page one rewrite. After talking my issue(s!!) (see my last blog post) with writing the next Amplifier book over with Michael ad nauseam, I finally came to the conclusion earlier this morning that I was forcing Amplifier 5 to be something it was never meant to be – a full-length novel. I was trying […]
