WIP Wednesday: Old Friend
The humid scent of the nearby strait, the smell of fresh bread, and a blend of spices Vasil could not name came together to create a distinctive mix that felt both foreign and as familiar as an old friend.
Just like Altan. Pinpricks danced down Vasil’s arms and he slowed his pace.

WIP Wednesday: Vasil’s Scars
Why couldn’t Altan have just let it be? Vasil still ached from the healing, from Altan’s kindness, and from the hot press of of the half-fae against his back and the man’s warm breath in his ear. Each was a pain that tugged at a different scar.

WIP Wednesday: Altan goes flying
An instant later, a knot of earth slammed into Altan, lifting him off his feet, and hurling him at the far wall of the kitchen.
Vasil’s desperate cry of shock and dismay echoed against the appliances.
Altan grappled with his own element, pulling and pushing at the air to stabilize himself. There was just enough room to change his trajectory so that he flew through the doorway to the living room. He threw his will against the momentum from the burst of earth, twisting and tumbling from the sudde...

Hometown Monday: The Strip and the River
Quite a lot of this blog has been about my writing. I thought I’d share some things about the place in which I live.
Right now, Pittsburgh is still in the grips of winter. But when it’s not rain/sleet/snowing out, one of the things I like to do is sneak out of work for a lunchtime walk. I’m lucky enough to work close to downtown Pittsburgh in an area called the Strip District. That’s a descriptive tag… the neighborhood is a thin strip of flood plain between the Allegheny River and a pretty lar...

WIP Wednesday: Snippet of Strong in Spirit
Vasil peered around the counter then made another note. “I’m assuming there’s somewhere I can buy cookware?”
“Of course. Istanbul isn’t exactly a backwater.” Once it had been the center of the world.
“Vasil snorted. “I meant close by. You’re lacking any sizable pot or skillet, and I hate cooking for just one.”
Except that Vasil would not be staying. A bitter knot formed in Altan’s throat. “Yes, of course. There’s a shopping district nearby that will have what you’re looking for.”
Vasil continued...
