Hey Taryn, thanks for looking in on me. I am okay. Really good, actually. I hope to be more active on GR and in other places in the very near future. Thank you again, I really appreciate it.
Cal Matthews
Thank you so much. I've taken a long break from writing for personal reasons, but I am now working on Thaumaturge 3, and I hope to release it this year (in 2019). Thank you again, your words mean a lot.
Cal Matthews
Thank you so much. I appreciate you saying so. Yes, I plan to write a sequel to Lupine Road, but it would be from the point of view of one of the secondary characters. It's about fifth in my queue of writing projects, but I hope to get to work on it soon.
Cal Matthews
That's really awesome of you, thank you. I'm really trying to get back into writing after suffering some mental health issues. Thaumaturge 3 is at about 1/3 of the way complete, and I have 2 other novellas I am editing (non-Thaumaturge related). Thank you for your kind words.

I would love to do a crossover, and have a sort of draft (more of an idea) for how that could work. I see Leo and Cyrus having all sorts of interesting interactions.

Hi Cale! I have a couple of shorts planned but that scene wasn't one of them. Might be interesting, though... thanks for the idea! And thanks for reading!
Cal Matthews
Thanks so much! I really appreciate that!

The idea for The Dead came from this: I passed a Wiccan shop that was in the process of closing down, the owners loading up their little truck with boxes that smelled like incense and lumpy bags that looked pretty suspicious. The Dead came somewhere from that.

Everything inspires me. Mountains. Music. Snatches of conversation. People I meet. Weird items in antique stores. The meanings of words. The ideas are easy. Being disciplined and making myself write every day can be a challenge, but I love writing so dedicating a few hours every day is a labor of love.

I am working on Book Two of the Thaumaturge series, as well as a contemporary stand-alone m/m romance. I'm also editing a stand alone m/m time travel adventure book, and a fantasy novel that has LGBTQ characters, but is focused towards a younger audience.
Cal Matthews
Write. I'm not a big fan of dedicating huge amounts of time to world-building or creating character sheets or whatever. You have to write. Do it all the time. Make notes on piece of paper or on your phone. If you don't write it down, you'll forget it and it's all about getting the words on paper.
