What Trouble Looks Like.

Just sayin’. :D

(Yes, this is me and the Twinny One* back in 2009 when I visited her on the other side of the Atlantic. I was digging through photos today with nefarious intent and found it.** Ha.)

* Yes, we are twins, separated by about 4 years, the Atlantic Ocean, and genetically unrelated parents. Nonetheless, twins. The Twins of Goodness and Dark, in actual fact. She’s the Evil Twin. I am the Good Twin. This does not make me the Twin of Goodness. We are all about paradoxes. Hurrah.

IT’S THAT TIME!! To Dust Cover Reveal

WOOHOO!! I can’t believe we’re halfway through October already, and that means COVER REVEAL TIME!!!!! I could faff on and on about how exciting this is, but I know that you’re really going to skim anything I say to get to the cover pic, so whatevs, I’ll keep it brief. I’m sure you can all guess I’m thrilled to little bits and pieces about this anyway ;) :D

So without further ado, the cover of my upcoming release, To Dust!

In The Midst Of Change

Life has been tumultuous for me in the last couple of months. I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned it here on the blog before or not (sorry if I have!), but there were at least ten days a couple of weeks ago where we had a family disaster or stressful event for every single day. There was even a family death, though she was old, so it was relatively expected (although her condition deteriorated much faster than anticipated after hospitalisation). So suffice to say I have been feeling pressurised.

Which Blurb Do You Prefer?

I’m blurb writing for From the Ground Up, and I have two competing versions that thus far have equal votes. I was dallying over the decision, wondering which one appealed more, when I realised: I should really just ask y’all, shouldn’t I?

Thus, behold! Two blurbs for From the Ground Up, my impending doom non-fiction worldbuilding book, contracted with Tyche Books :) I should probably do a website page for it, shouldn’t I… Actually, I’ll do that once you guys have voted on a blurb :D hee.

L.A.O.S. Chapter 4b

Hurrah! Look! Progress!

Yes, I have actually written the next section of the L.A.O.S. for you. I is Pleased.

For the unaware – which let’s face it, it’s been a while – the L.A.O.S. stands for the League of Absolutely Ordinary Superheroes and is a webserial I am “writing”. I say “writing” because – let’s face it – it’s been a while :P :D But I do have Plans, and if you stick around long enough, I promise you will get a resolution for it. The extremely tentative and probably optimistic plan is to...

Cover Reveal!

But not for me. Sorry. *grin* My cover reveal is October 16, remember? And it’s NOT TOO LATE to sign up for that one, just sayin’. O:)

But! Cover revealingness! Today it is my excited and bounciful honour to help Twinny Dear, aka Liana Brooks, reveal the cover for Even Villains Go To The Movies, book TWO in her FABULOUS Heroes and Villains series! Book one chronicled the adventures of Dr Charm in the search to save his wife, with the help of his four gorgeous children who all have super-powers...

Guest Post: Azure, by Chrystalla Thoma

A terrible mistake haunts college student Olivia Spencer. To escape the past, she travels to the Mediterranean island of Crete, hoping for the courage to start anew.

By the sea, she meets sexy and enigmatic Kai. But there’s more to Kai than meets the eye – and nobody wants to talk about it. The locals shun him, accusing him of magic. Kai, apparently, belongs to the sea, no matter how crazy that sounds.

Kai isn’t free to be with her or live his own life, and this is how he will stay, unless Oliv...

And, it must be said: BOYS. YOU TOO.

Don’t be a dick. Don’t SHARE the photos.

Because it takes more than just the girl to have the photos spread around the entire school. Unless she’s sending them herself. In which case, y’know. Don’t.

*sigh*

GIRLS. YOU. NOW.

Just don’t friggin’ send the photos, m’kay?!
