Every time I think about Arlyn's story, a little chill goes through me. Although, I do wonder if I've made a mistake. In reviewing what I know about Arlyn and trying to discover a good starting point, I realized that I have two small issues. The first is that Tangled Magic and Walk the Path … Continue reading Arlyn’s complication
I have a little secret. Well, I guess I won’t after this (grin!). One of my all-time favorite characters is Arlyn from my Sacred Knight series. If you haven’t read the series, he’s Steigan’s mentor. I won’t say anything more there. Arlyn started off as a very simple character just meant to start Steigan on … Continue reading Back to a backstory
Writing into the dark... discovery writer... pantster.... Lots of ways to describe a writer who just writes. No outlines. No character sketches. Just writing. I have always done this. I've tried to plot and design characters and regulate how things come out on the page. It just isn't me. I get bored with stories quickly … Continue reading Why I like to write into the dark
I think this has been the busiest Thursday ever for FanX. My favorite costume of the day? Jafar with my magic lamp. When I handed it to him, some lady walking by said, “You just gave him his every hope and dream!” I laughed and said said I was evil like that. I’m pet sure … Continue reading FanX 2022 day 1

My "fun with markers" evening I had planned last night didn't work out so well. It took too long to get the markers started, one of them didn't want to work at all, and one began bleeding. I only got 4 markers going, so you can see that I didn't have a high success rate … Continue reading Oh, the numbers
Hwy93 Vendor show Saturday (from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and Sunday (from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). I'm all set up, but I certainly am sore today. I have Dragons of Wellsdeep back in stock. So, I hope to see you out at Mountain View Barn just outside of Jerome, Idaho tomorrow.
There are so many stories. It depressed me a little. I went looking for the manuscripts I was planning on going to next and saw so many uncompleted stories, or stories that had been started but were in shreds for one reason or another. It makes me half wonder if I should triage and start … Continue reading Finding stories
The goat above was just a cute, tiny thing and he'd fallen asleep on his feet with his face in the hay. Absolutely adorable creature. Then I was glad I could walk away. I use to have a goat. It wasn't a pleasant experience, but I'm glad I had it. I was also glad when … Continue reading New release coming
Siva's book is finished. Well, the first draft is. I still don't even have a title for it yet. And, of course, my creative voice insisted that I go back into the story and touch a few things at the end after I'd crossed that finish line and was making notes on the last two … Continue reading The book is over the finish line
