Writing Diary: Week 9

Three weeks until ANTITYPE. Three months until PROTOTYPE.

THREE.

I’m starting to get a little excited.

And because I’m getting a little excited, I’ve decided to have more giveaways, and more prizes. So come back Thursday (and then come back the following Thursday!) for back to back raffles. I have hardcovers of ARCHETYPE lying around, galleys of PROTOTYPE taking up space, T-shirts, tote bags… ALL THE STUFF. You know you want it.

Alright, so. The updates!

They’re big.

BIG.

Adult Scifi: 30,321! That’s...

Patapsco State Park

Anotherweek just flew by me. Work was hectic, my brain felt half-asleep 90%of the time, and I lost a day to a good binge read. (Not really a loss, because great books never are.) But I did get some writing in. I wouldn’t call it an entirely successful week, but…there was progress.

Adult Scifi: 25,563. So. I hit a very intense scene in this one last week, and it blindsided me a little bit. I needed to show a couple things in particular, and they hit my heroine on such a perso...

Writing Diary: Week 7

As I sit to write this post, I have to ask myself,Did I write anything? I know I did. Some. The week is sort of a blur, but let’s see what I did.

Adult Scifi: 20,808, and I’m one big scene from the end of the first act. I actually did a read-through of this one to refresh some details, tweaked a couple small things… But it’s good stuff! I’m pretty happy with how this is turning out.

April PROTOTYPE Raffle

April already?!

We’re just shy of 4 months until PROTOTYPE releases, and I’m as excited as the rest of you! Almost as excited as the eBook novella release of ANTITYPE on May 13th. (Use that $2 eBook settlement money and get it for $1.99. It’ll be totally worth it, I swear!)

So, since it’s April 1st, it’s time to give away another signed copy of PROTOTYPE! I’m excited about this because I get to introduce another new character! Last month, I introduced the funny little man, Dr. Phillip Malcolm,...

One thing before I get started with the updates: The ARCHETYPE eBook sale was extended through the 1st! So youhave a few more days to steal that book for $2.99.

And speaking of the 1st, return here for the new PROTOTYPE raffle. It begins at midnight.

All right. Updates, which is really the singularupdate. I opened one a few times but came up empty for the most part. I might have typed a few words and beefed up the text, but it’s hardly worth mentioning.

The o...

It’s a big Sunday here in my weekly check-in. I’m starting off with a little promo, but I think you’ll like this.

Writing Diary: Week 3

I almost didn’t write this post. Any progress I made this last week is embarrassing. BUT. Progress is progress. Here’s to making up for it in the coming days!

I had a long trip from San Francisco to Baltimore last Sunday, so I managed a few words on one WiP while waiting on delayed flights, etc… Then came back to jet lag & a full work & family week. Not to mention a couple fun distractions like the cover to ANTITYPE:) Can’t wait to show it to you, because it’s amaze.

Anyway… Here’s the word cou...

Writing Diary: Week 2

Before we get to the updates….

A little self-promotion. Ready? Mark your calendars! Need more Declan and Noah? I wrote a fun prequel to ARCHETYPE novella called ANTITYPE, which will release as a Penguin Special on May 13, 2014. Here’s a little blurb:

Before Emma appears in their lives, two men face four monthsthat will change their world-view forever.One has dreams outside Richmond and away from his family business. The other wants to make the business his only focus. In one summer, outside for...
