As for me – The Wildblood series is finishing up – forever? I don’t know. I’ve got a Science Fiction Romance on deck! No, it really is. I wasn’t that surprised, but I thought the previous one would go that way. Apparently, the post-apocalypse took over and blotted out the theme, mostly.
The new one doesn’t have a real name yet, I’m using Tau Scorpii: Book 1 until I think of what...

The WeWriWa blog, with links to many fascinating Works In Progress. I’ve found some amazing book through this site. Check it out!
Ah, where was I? Oh, yeah – taking a couple days break from the book, so I didn’t burn it to the ground. Yikes. Sometimes you need to step away. Not like I did with The Vista (15 years), but I’m back on track now. I seriously need to be contemplating a cover. And a tagline. Blurb. Marketing. All the fun stuff that makes me talk to myself in the middle of the nigh...

The WeWriwa page. Check it out. I find a lot of new books here!
I missed a week, sorry about that. Writing. You know how that goes.
This is a bit further into the book, where Team Three are meeting people they weren’t even certain were real. Urban legends make the rounds, even after WW3. You’ve heard that saying – Be careful what you wish for. Not a final draft, so subject to revisions. Or, the dreaded ‘Delete’ button, if it really annoys me. So far, so good.

The WeWriwa page. Check it out. A whole batch of authors, sharing snippets of their work. Visit their blogs, you won’t be disappointed.
One of my characters, who isn’t quiet or shy by nature, has been being silent and sulking. No, not women problems. Problems about survival and other post-apocalyptic concerns. I finally weaseled 3 pages out of him. 3 whole pages!
Back to the action now. This is Wade and Shannon reuniting after some months apart. Bloodlines: Book 3 of The Wildblood, autum...

Hmmm, this week is a terse conversation between Shannon, Hunter, and a marauding Nomad called Ryan. A WIP, Bloodlines will be released in the Autumn, 2017. Book 3 of The Wildblood series. Because my characters have some ideas of their own suddenly appearing on the page, I’m not certain if there will be a Book 4. It’s a possibility now. I’ll let you know, w...

The WeWriwa page. Check it out.
This week, a bit of a conversation between Mac and Ballentyne, his 2nd in command, in Cody. Sometimes, we all need reminded, they survived WW3.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
“The purpose of Cody has always been to protect The Vista. I don’t see that changing, but we can grow here, we can be safe here, we can do this.”
“You had something cooking, when you petitioned Command to get separation from The Vista,” Ballentyne said. “I just didn’t know what.”
“That happened as soon as...

Another Sunday. I’m going to kick the writing in to overdrive because I hate getting behind on my self-imposed schedule. If I disappear for a couple weekend, it’s just a couple weekends. I’ll be back.
The WeWriwa page. Check it out.
Let’s see. Shan and Hunter were having a deep conversation. You can catch that here. This is a little later in the same conversation.

“Just because Rafe said there was a Sixth on the team, doesn’t make it true.”
“He only implied it.”

I’m baaaaaaaack. I’ve probably said that before, too. My minor characters have taken over. They burned the pitiful outline and are currently running amok. So far, I’m pretty pleased with them.
Check out the WeWriWa blog, you won’t be sorry. It’s a great place to find writers offering snippets of their work.
My few words. This from the newly-named Bloodlines: Book 3 of The Wildblood. Shannon and Hunter are off on their own, in the winter, in the wilds of Nebraska. They have different ideas o...

A dash through here to get some words posted! Check out the WeWriWa Blog to find all the amazing authors participating.
This snippet introduces new characters. It was bound to happen, I suppose, even with the vast amount I already have. The world of The Wildblood is desolate, dangerous, twenty-some years after a biological and nuclear war put an end to civilization. Trying to rebuild is far from simple.
This is a group from Cody (via The Vista)making their way out in the world. Next stop –...

Ahh, the weekend! I almost missed the signup this week. I had 11 minutes left. Take a few minutes, and check out all the amazing authors posting their snippets. The links are on the WeWriWa blog, and you won’t be disappointed.
My snippet. This is a first draft, of The Wildblood Book 3, so please keep that in mind. Problems cropping up for my characters, when they thought “things” were all taken care of. They were not.
