Just so you guys know, it worked. You know that book I was posting bits of pieces of on here? The Nightward? Well, as planned, I finished writing it during my break. I've moved on to beta readers and continuous edits, which will end either when the book is bought and polished, or when I trunk it. … Continue reading Success!!
Excerpt: The Nightward – A Battle Approaches
I'm a bit busy today, so I thought I'd post a tiny excerpt from The Nightward wherein the Lady Gretchen and her Amazores prepare to do battle with an ancient weapon called the Dark. The Amazores waited in the cold. Even the walls above were empty of their presence. Behind Lady Gretchen, the sounds of … Continue reading Excerpt: The Nightward – A Battle Approaches
Excerpt: The Nightward – The Lady Gretchen Sees Things Clearly
Here's a bit more from The Nightward. Our little Queen and her protector have arrived at a Seat where they hope they will be safe. Lady Gretchen stood a few feet from a torch as tall as Viyella herself, with Dagen on her right and the guard on her left. None of them made a … Continue reading Excerpt: The Nightward – The Lady Gretchen Sees Things Clearly
Excerpt: The Nightward – Farain the Cat
Another snippet from Viyella's story. In truth, I'm well past these bits, but I don't let myself post unless I've done lots of fresh work. Just keeping myself honest 😉 Hope you like it! He stood and sent out one more thought. Yowls filled the courtyard, punctuated by screams. Seconds later, his cat Farain rounded … Continue reading Excerpt: The Nightward – Farain the Cat
Excerpt: The Nightward – A Boy Dances
It's been a while since I proved I was working. So here is a little bit of my current Work In Progress to keep you warm for the weekend! A burst of applause made her jump, and Viyella realized that her mother had reached the end of her speech. When the noise died down, the … Continue reading Excerpt: The Nightward – A Boy Dances
In Which We Meet The Heroine & Hero Of Our Tale
A bit from THE NIGHTWARD again, because I just wrote a nice section with Viyella and Dagen and thought you should all be introduced to each other. Most words of the week so far on the one day I really didn't want to do anything. Woot for me! He checked the rest of the balcony swiftly, but … Continue reading In Which We Meet The Heroine & Hero Of Our Tale
In Which She Attempts to Write Five Days A Week, No Matter What
Yep, you heard me. For about a month or so now, I've been working hard to make sure I write Monday to Friday, no exceptions. This is a big departure for me. I'm an expert procrastinator and although I've finished about a dozen novels, I've never set myself a schedule. However, I take my writing … Continue reading In Which She Attempts to Write Five Days A Week, No Matter What
Because We Are Awesome
Recently I've been reading some great, eye-opening pieces about women and our astounding contributions to society. Sometimes women and the great things they do have been acknowledged, sometimes not, but always, we have been here. Here is a really great piece by Kameron Hurley about how women have always been a living, breathing part of history, whether … Continue reading Because We Are Awesome
Excerpt – The Nightward
Here's an excerpt from my new work in progress. It's a fantasy set in a world in which women are the stronger sex (they have 'real' magic), and modeled on a mish-mash of African, Caribbean and Indian culture. Just so you know I haven't been lying when I said I was writing these days! Finally, … Continue reading Excerpt – The Nightward
