Um, oops, that was supposed to be 'Release' - It's almost ready to release! The story, that is, not the beast within. Stuck with that one. I've been doing the final editing. Finished the big picture stuff, the flow-lines, the through-lines, the story-lines. Done the character (needs some polish there, but I'll think her through … Continue reading Ready to Rumble
Scene 1: Equine Neophyte of the Blood Desert The room buzzed with an undertone of Wild Magic. It waited in the walls, it sang in tones of sunshine and gentle winds. Neesa smiled as she came in, ducked when the Master of Neo-Training frowned. The Magic lifted and swarmed in little buzzes around the head of … Continue reading A Sneak-Peek – but don’t tell anyone!
This time, I'm not going to succumb to the pique of interest that comes from looking at a map, at GoogleMaps, at the distant horizon. I'm not. I'm going to stay here. I'm not packing up, not lightening the load to move. It's called decluttering. Truly. I'm just getting rid of a few things I … Continue reading Moving On
It's tame, I know, and I should be writing a post today - it's Wednesday, I always do a post on Wednesday - but there's a storm outside, thunder and lightning (no rain yet, but it will come (this is Adelaide, maybe it won't come)), so - short story long - no post. If there's … Continue reading The Excuse

The sound of gearing down roused the first twitch of an ear. One eye opened to a slit, another gear down, and both eyes opened. One paw extended the razor sharp claws and dug them into the dash mat with a sound that grated like a bone-saw. A slight roll of the body until he … Continue reading Sam
I was going to do the normal Sunday morning post today, but - and this is the short version of the story - I need to check every single document that's been restored since the hard drive failure. Why? Because yesterday, when I thought everything was ready to get back to work - I saw … Continue reading The Not-A-Post Post
Remember the last post? The disaster of computer proportions? Yep, that one. Still waiting to get back to work, so what do I do ('cos a writer can't do ... the 'not' writing thing)? I put an idea in my head and fiddle with it. I Walk the circle of the house (some people call … Continue reading A State of Pace
Published last night, after a mighty effort, Agoness: The rules of kingship have been lost with lack of care and the passing of time, but when the Prince retaliates against the Daughter of the Holy when she refuses to marry him, and ensures she is sentenced to death by pyre for refusing him so publicly, … Continue reading Agoness
The fear and trepidation that comes after the 'final' polish, the horror of the realisation that there just isn't a picture that can truly represent the story - no cover! ---------------------------- here's the conversation: And it's too short - not enough words. No, scrap that. The editing process took out all the dross and ... … Continue reading Oh, no – it’s happening again
