When I wasn’t writing, cooking, or sleeping at the retreat, I re-read the Old Races trilogy (affiliate link), which I started because I needed to figure out where scene breaks were in some cases because the conversion from the old epubs to the new ones isn’t always tidy. I spent so much time swearing at the copy editor, though. These books, which I’ve talked about the difficulties of writing in places that I can’t find in two seconds so am not linking to right now, had an additional difficulty to…

Release Day: HEART OF STONE
HEART OF STONE returns! Vampires and dragons and djinn, oh my! Welcome (back) to the world of the Old Races as NYC lawyer Margrit Knight discovers her hot new client isn’t just wanted for murder – he’s also a gargoyle! HEART OF STONE is available in e-book at Amazon, and will be available in print by the end of the month. (Sorry, dropped the ball on that one.) Very excited to have this back out in the world and very much looking forward to bringing the rest of the series…
it’s a nanowrimo month here
So far I’ve written about 22k in November. I’ve been working on two projects, one of which is codenamed Project One, which I’m now 16K into, and the other of which, Project Two, which is KISS OF ANGELS and I have JUST FINISHED IT and I’m extremely pleased about that. It does what I’ve said it would all along, which is sets up the Old Races world for more full-length novels should I ever be moved to write them. I’m quite sure that when people read it, they’re going to…
Recent Reads: HEART OF STONE
I’m re-reading the Negotiator Trilogy, which I haven’t done since (before) they were published. I’m doing this so I can write KISS OF ANGELS, which is set (at least partially) after the trilogy, and in some ways I have only a vague idea of what the books are about. I mean, obviously I know what they’re about, but… Some of you may know that the reason I haven’t written more book-length Old Races stories is that writing the Negotiator Trilogy was…awful. Just awful. Like, I had a small nervous breakdown,…
Recent Reads: The Old Races Collections
I’m starting a new Old Races short story project, so during our Great Internet Hiatus, I re-read the two story collections I’ve done. I almost never re-read an entire book I’ve written. I read URBAN SHAMAN when it was published, and I’ve read THE CARDINAL RULE twice just for fun, but generally I just flip through a book looking for a detail if I need to look something up, so it was kind of fascinating to actually sit down and read two books in a row written by me. I…
