Slow & Steady – Chapter Nine Available
Chapter Nine is live!
Well, hell. Her ‘Shit to Deal With’ just kept growing and growing.
She tugged her shirt on and exited the lavatory. Time to tackle some shit.
“So, Pyx?”
Pyxis perked up. “Oh! You’ve scandalously truncated my name and I got to see you naked.”
Right. Beware Kin’s patient, cunning, deadly sister and his infinitely happy, idiotic brother. Got it.
She caught his eye, hoping he would catch her meaning. “And you got to see me run.”
Pyxis shrugged and lowered one brow ridge at her.
Did he…? Did he just wink at her?

Slow & Steady – Chapter Eight Available
Chapter Eight is live!
Yeah. So that just happened.
Okay. Moving on.
Fun Fact: As I am posting this scene, I am listening to Pat Benatar’s ‘We Belong.’ On repeat. Because this song is Rez’s and Kin’s hearts laid bare. See, fun!
I would, though, like to express my extreme gratitude (and utter shock) that you all have made it this far! I am truly having a blast with Rez and Kin and am looking forward to the next chapter!

Slow & Steady – Reader Q&A
With six chapters done and approximately 20,000 words written, it seems like a good time for another Slow & Steady Q&A . My thanks to everyone who asked these awesome questions via post comments or by email.

Q: Is Slow & Steady interconnected with your other series/characters or will it ever be?
A: No, it’s not. Now that I think about it, I really should’ve done that! Hmmm.

Slow & Steady – Chapter Five Available
Chapter Five is live!
Wow. This time, I learned some things about how I write. Check out my comments in Chapter 5 for more.
…he would demand that she fully—rather than ‘kinda’—accept his sibling’s offer. Obviously, he would explain that she would remain by his side until her obligation was fulfilled. Perhaps inquire if she happened to have any rope on her…

Slow & Steady – Chapter 3 and Q&A
Chapter 3 is live!
Q&A Update
We’re now two weeks and three chapters into Slow & Steady.
It’s a good time for another Q&A, yes?
Q: So, Bex, how are things going with the serial?
A: Great. I think. I’m pretty sure… I mean, I’m a writing turtle, so I am incredibly thrilled that I have three whole chapters of Slow & Steady completed since this all started about two weeks ago.
Q: You still sound a bit uncertain.
A: Well, yeah. I’m averaging one scene a day, and that includes posting it. The story is coming to me faster now, so I’m thinking I’ll try to spend two to three days writing. On the fourth day I’ll post, and hopefully I’ll get two or three chapters done a week.
Q: Wow! That’s great! How many chapters do you plan to write?
A: Right now I am thinking twenty-ish. The book will be a shorter one for me. Less than Thanemonger, but more than Sarda.
Q: In your latest chapter, you’ve threaded quite a bit in there…
A: I hear ya. I’m kinda concerned as well. But at the same time, I am very excited to explore those threads. (Sorry for the vagueness. Doing my best to not inadvertently drop any spoilers.) What I can say, is that I have a plan. All of those threads have been plotted, and (fingers crossed) none will be left hanging open at the end.
Q: Speaking of the end, will there be more books in this world?
A: Today’s answer is yes. I’m having fun. These characters are getting me to the page each day, which was my ultimate goal. I have plans for two more Akupara books, with a possible third, making the series four books in total.
Q: Awesome. Glad you’re having fun and planning more books. But…
A: But?
Q: Culler.
A: Oh. Him.
Q: Yes HIM! You haven’t forgotten about him, have you? We’ve not forgotten about him!
A: I have not forgotten about Dius. His book is coming. Writing Slow & Steady is my way of coping with the stress and anxiety of social distancing and quarantining. As things continue to develop locally and world-wide, I will re-examine and adjust. Perhaps I’ll pick up Culler sooner than expect. Perhaps I’ll power through all three/four books of Slow & Steady. But my goals are still the same: 99.9% my family, 0.1% having fun with whatever it is that I’m writing.
Q: Well. Okay, then. Just wanted to make sure. We love Dius. Kinda started to wonder if you love him, too…
A: I do love him! And it’s so touching how many people have enjoyed his character and want to read his story. Thank you, so much, for expressing your love for this character!
So, for all you Dius fans, read on for an excerpt…
Enjoy!
