Writing Action, My Weak Spot
I think there is only one aspect of my writing I don't have confidence in: action sequences. I'm terrible at them. I mean, downright god-awful, I think. They take me days to trudge through, and then are cleaned up in editing. There. My terrible secret is out. Hi, my name is S.L. Armstrong, and I [...]

Cover Art!
It's been a while since I shared some of the new cover art for upcoming releases. This is the cover for the July anthology, Daughters of Artemis. Gorgeous cover with sexy, powerful women. Nathie did an awesome job of taking a vague description of what we were after and turning it into this. The cover [...]
New & Upcoming Releases
Have a couple things to share today! First, my short story from the Cast the Cards anthology was released on it's own a couple of days ago. Oneiros is a 11,500 word short story about a young man named Caleb who, when faced with his HIV+ status, retreats from the world, finding solace in a [...]

My Busy World
Kris arrives today around 5pm. The last two or three days have been spent doing that panicked, manic cleaning of the house. I'm always reminded of that bit by Jeff Foxworthy every time we have a guest over. "This is the cleanest our house has been in six months!" It's when all surfaces are scrubbed, [...]

My Thoughts (Once More) On Reviews/Reviewers
There is, once again, an explosion about reviews and just who they are meant for and whether an author has the right to respond to them. I swear, this discussion must come up once a month now! Authors are beginning to feel that they are stripped of their own opinions simply because they're authors, other [...]

The Current WIP List
When Kris comes down for her visit next week, we'll be outlining many of these and setting a writing/release schedule for them. Woot! 312 Days (Literary Fiction) After Amelia Earhart's plane disappeared, the world scoured the ocean for her. She was never found. This does not mean she was dead. For 312 days, Amelia survived [...]

There Is Never Enough Time
My brain never shuts up. Seriously. I wake up thinking about writing, think about writing all day, and go to bed thinking about writing. It's crazy. A lot of the time, I'd love for my brain to take a small hiatus, but then I worry it would never come back. Television, commercials, songs, random snippets [...]

"Catalyst" & Upcoming Projects
Catalyst came out on Friday. You can buy it from Storm Moon Press, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Rainbow Ebooks, and All Romance Ebooks. I know it'll slowly show up in other vendors, too, over the next couple of weeks. Very proud of this novel, and while it's probably not everyone's cup of tea, I hope [...]

The Perils of Electronics
Last night, there was an accident. A little water splashed onto the keyboard of my laptop. We dried it out, and everything seemed fine. Around 10pm, I put the computer into sleep mode and put it aside for the night. I woke up this morning and the keyboard was fried. Useless. My precious, 3-year-old laptop [...]

MIA
I've been MIA. It was for a good reason, though. Friday night, K. got her edits back to me for Catalyst. I didn't work on it at all because I was cooking and cleaning and sleeping. This is also when we did K's taxes, I believe. Saturday, A and M (our other significant others) came [...]
