New Look!

Well, new banner! Isn’t it lovely? I can’t stop staring at it and smiling.

It was made by the wonderful Erin Lark, who besides being an all-around nice person and awesome author, also designs covers and things like headers!

I chose (and bought) these stock photos and she worked magic to put it all together.

The city in the photo, by the way, is my own beloved Pittsburgh.

What do you think? I still can’t stop smiling!

Happy New Year!

Music and my Muse

I’m one of those folks who can’t listen to music while writing, especially if it has lyrics. They get into my brain and come out my fingerips, no matter what I do. So I don’t tend to make playlists for novels.

But music does affect my writing. I listen to music on my way to and from work and whenever I’m on a long drive. It’s been hard recently, as all of my music is stored in my phone, but I didn’t have a good connection from my phone to my car’s stereo, other than one of those radio transmit...

It’s my birthday! Here’s a gift!

Today’s my birthday!

As a gift, I’m going to give you my first and only foray into slashy fan fiction.

WAIT! DON’T GO!

So here’s the thing… It’s Shakespeare fanfic. Specifically, Henry V fanfic. See, my most favorite movie in the entire world is the KennethBranagh version of Henry V. It’s my comfort movie. The one I watch when I’m sick or down or need inspiration or just because.

I’m a bit odd, yes.

So this is slashy fan fiction of Henry V via that movie. It’s sweet, not hot and has some historica...
