A long time ago, chapters were posted on my blog every week. They have all since been pulled down and the novel completed. It is much different than what was here. Now, Palladium is available as a finished novel. © Rodjulian | Dreamstime.com © Xneo | Dreamstime.com© Gualtiero Boffi | Dreamstime.com I do have to send a shout-out to Amazon customer support. Vella ended up … Continue reading A long time coming
I'd hoped to have this book out last year. Then it became April of this year. Then July. Then September. Yeah, not all of it was me, but some of it was. At last, I just had to knuckle down on this book and get it out. I decided it was the best I could … Continue reading Better late
Still following the list of priorities I set for myself yesterday. I'd hoped to finish item #2 today, but it didn't quite happen. Item #1, I'm happy to announce, did get finished yesterday and is now available. This spectacular set is a favorite at shows. Dragons, fantasy, magic, space travel, mystery, clues, defeating bullies, coming … Continue reading The Stardust Collection

I am thrilled to let you all know that Walk the Path has been released. This is the second and final part in the Onesong series (unless I decide to also put Cirvel's portion of the story into this series too -- who knows!). Still, this completes Rivic's adventure which started in Tangled Magic. You'll … Continue reading Onesong – book #2 released
I finished a novella length story last night. Now I’m trying to figure out what the title should be. Usually somewhere in writing the story the title comes to me. Not this time. Maybe I’m trying too hard because I know what I want to have in the title but I can’t make it work. … Continue reading Finished a story
Last week was an interesting one. On many levels. Firstly, I signed up for lifetime access to a bunch of learning materials for writers. I have only had a chance to watch part of the "Fear" videos -- what, me? Fear? OMG, yes, I do have some! -- and in that time I've already doubled … Continue reading Joyful
When I wrote about Cirvel and his genie lamps last week, I had another quote from that scene which I knew would make a great follow-up. Here goes: This is Cirvel's response to Rivic asking why Cirvel would have the genie lamps if genies are such abominations. I love Cirvel's answer and the implications that … Continue reading Collectibles
Recently, I went through Tangled Magic to find some of my favorite spots in the book. This was one that came up: I really doubt that Rivic missed a lesson on how to fly. Whatever lesson he skipped out on was probably dull and boring, honestly. I just bet he will never skip class again.
One of my favorite things about being a “discovery writer” (that’s someone who doesn’t plot a story out, though I am thinking that some planning would help, but that’s a blog for another day) is finding little bits of story that are gems waiting to be uncovered. There’s one “gem” though that I’ve been waiting … Continue reading Mysteries of Lilinar
