I don't. I write when I feel like it.

There is no best thing. It's just what you are, what you're compelled to do.

Rules, broken
“Any halfway decent artist can outline,” she sneered.
You can’t sneer a statement.
She raised her eyes to his.
What’d she do, pick them up off the floor?
Long ago and far away, when I first had this thing called a critique group, a thing that was foreign to me, I was taught these “rules.” I had never heard of these “rules.” I didn’t know what was wrong with raising one’s eyes or sneering one’s...

"I can't believe I'm typing this, but this book surprised me by how bored I was by it. The first two hundred pages were hard to get through. Now don't get me wrong. There were definitely some funny parts and the backstories of both MCs were pretty..."

"Crystal Line is definitely the least of the Crystal Singer trilogy, as our heroine Killashandra has been alive for centuries and her long history of singing crystal has reduced her memory to so much mush. She spends a good half of the book in a br..."

I have nothing profound to say about this book. Everyone else has done it and I read it to inform my own Prohibition-era novel I’m writing. 3.5 stars because there was no comeuppance, which I found unsatisfactory in spite of the fact that a) it’s a ...more |

The last Cosway book I read (which was the last book I read at all) was (I think) the author’s first and it showed. But though Painted Faces was rough, I enjoyed the author’s voice, so I dove into the next one. This book was beautiful. There were so ...more |

“Why is it up to me to shepherd a man’s—any man’s—hormones?”

“I’m a simple man,” Jack said clearly, Lydia’s hands in his, his eyes never leaving hers. “I like meaningless sex, McDonald’s, fart jokes, Dumb and Dumber, and Top Forty hits I’ll forget a week after they drop off the charts. I cuss like a sailor and I’m an uncultured swine. I don’t slow down, a Tigger in an Eeyore world. But somehow … Somehow, I met—”

“I can't be on too long before I have to stop. If she hadn't left, you'd both be home right now.”
Victoria’s brow wrinkled.
“I don’t understand.”
“You take energy from people, from crowds, and you expend more. For you, when you’re on, you run like a German engine, no?”
“Right.”
“When you go home after the party’s over and you haven’t had enough attention, you miss it. You crave more.”
“Right.”
“I don’t take in energy like that. People take energy from me. I can be social, I can be on, but I go home for silence and solitude, not because it’s time for the party to end. I don’t want to hear another person’s voice for three days so I can recharge. Like a battery.”

“I do not want to be the leader. I refuse to be the leader. I want to live darkly and richly in my femaleness. I want a man lying over me, always over me. His will, his pleasure, his desire, his life, his work, his sexuality the touchstone, the command, my pivot. I don’t mind working, holding my ground intellectually, artistically; but as a woman, oh, God, as a woman I want to be dominated. I don’t mind being told to stand on my own feet, not to cling, be all that I am capable of doing, but I am going to be pursued, fucked, possessed by the will of a male at his time, his bidding.”
