Danica and Laresa

Something is feeling a little off to me in the new Danica story. It just doesn’t feel like it has a solid enough central theme to be a standalone story. If it were a chapter in one of the greater books, I think it would be fine, but this is supposed to be a transition story.

I stepped back from it for a bit, to let what I already have finished simmer. I’m going to go back and review it as soon as I complete the changes my editor sends back on something else I just finished under my alternate pen name. I’m steadily working through how to tie everything together into a standalone story. I shouldn’t have to rewrite much, I think I just need to get a couple of scenes in there and reword a few passages. I’ll keep everyone posted.

I’ll be working on some new Laresa stuff soon too, for those who are fans of our beautiful Djinn. I just updated the Laresa’s World page with the new Chapter 16, for easy reading linkage.

It Cuts Both Ways in editing

“It Cuts Both Ways” is in Roust’s hands for editing. 17k words, 52 Word pages, and four chapters. This is my first venture into the world of cheating spouses, so we’ll see how it’s received.

If you want a preview look at the cover before the story hits, you can do that right here.

Cover for Finding Karen

I was having a bit of a logjam in my head on the fantasy story I was writing, so that cheat story I mentioned earlier is underway. I have the setup written, and I’m about to hit the first conflict of the story, setting up the cheating. I’ll probably be writing it side-by-side with the new fantasy story, whichever is striking my fancy at any given time.

I also created a cover image for “Finding Karen” which you can find linked on the My Work page or right here.

New Cover Images

Still chugging along on the new Danica transition story.

Just updated the website with cover images for Thakkor and Ebon. These can be found on the My Work and Thakkor on the Short Stories page. That leaves only the Danica stories without covers.

Got photochop skills? Have artistic skills? Think you can do me up a cover for Danica from some photos of my Baileykins? Drop me a line! I’d really like to have covers for the core story taken from photos of Bailey. If anyone has the talent, drop me a line, please!

Guess not LOL

Well, the venture at SOL didn’t really fly, so I’m pretty much killing the idea over there. The new LST3K is sort of in neutral, mostly because I’m up to my ears in my other work and real life, but also because I really want Falling’s commentary in my hands on this one. I’m really tempted to let her take the lead on this one, for good reasons. I have worked on my commentary, but I’ve just never finished the first draft.

I’ll post any news as I know it.
