Release Date!

I have been given a release date for Like a Cunning Plan, which includes my story Fools Rush In. That book will drop on the Circlet website (and at fine etailers everywhere — I hope), on JUNE 19th!!!

I like Fools Rush In — the main character sounds, in my head, like Bruce Campbell.

I’ll have the cover art up soon as a get a copy of the file. (For some reason, the first time I saw the cover was when I got the review copies in my email today. BTW, anyone want to review this?)

Post novel ennui

Last week, I sent the manuscript for Heart’s Master in to Circlet. That makes my third complete novel in just over a year and a half.

And now my brain is feeling it.

I have that whole laundry list of things to work on, and I cannot settle on ANY of them. I started to work on The Willow Sword, and that went exactly nowhere. So I went to work on the synopsis for Holy Orders, which will be the NEXT Drum Mage book. Got halfway and stalled out. Had a new idea pop into my head while putting together...

I think this is my new theme song.

It’s official! I made the cut!

I really do need to post more often, don’t I?

I just realize that it’s been a month since I last posted. I’ve been busy. Mostly with writing — Heart’s Master is done, and finished going through the crit group yesterday. So now I’m waiting to hear from my editor if she wants to see it first, or if it needs to go to the general Circlet slush. Then there were the three short stories — two of which I actually finished (the other got parked for me to figure out where it was going). Between O, Promise Me! and Sapphires and Gold, I write 20,000...

How many shades of what?

My brain doesn't want me to work on anything productive today (by which I mean paying copy). Instead, it wants to play, and write fanfiction.

I'm an odd duck among writers. I love fanfiction. I know there are writers out there who think fanfiction is TEH EVIL OMG!!!! I'm not one of them. I love fanfiction. I write it, I read it, and if it ever comes out that there is fanfiction of one of my works, I will know that I've made it. It means that someone likes what I write enough to want to play...
