Sh!t I Learned Today: Know Your Sex
When I first realized I wanted to be an author, I found that I was easily overwhelmed by the extreme learning curve I had before me. And it wasn’t just stuff you had to learn, but also execute every day after that. To keep from getting ulcers (jury is still out on that) I told myself that if I could just learn one new thing a day, I would be okay and I wouldn’t get so stressed out that I wanted to quit.

Deleted Scene from The Hunted One

Avoiding Stereotypical Characters
Avoiding Stereotypical Characters
I’ve avoided these “how to write” articles, because I don’t think of myself as an expert by any means. I don’t even really consider myself an adept writer.

First Three Chapters of “The Lost One”

June 30, 1976
The diner smelled of percolating coffee, slightly burnt, and served only black. The linoleum was cracked, and the counter tops were a perpetual sticky no amount of scrubbing could clean. The waitresses wore lumpy, blue uniforms and thick, white-soled shoes.

Excerpt
Outside, nearly all the Nephilim were gathered on the front porch. They stepped aside for Michaela as she made her way down the steps. It was easy to see what they were looking at.
The sky was growing dark, nearly black along the horizon of the farthest fields. But Michaela’s attention was on something else. She recognized them immediately.
The Archangels landed lightly on the gravel and walked toward the house. Their wings were white and brutally bright in the snapping air. Ophaniel’s beautiful platinum hair twisted in the wind. Michaela recognized Simiel’s easy smile. Raphael looked even more serious than usual, his bulk taking up twice the room as the others. Uriel stalked slightly behind the others, her hand wound tight around Zarachiel’s, who walked slowly with his head down.
It didn’t take them long to reach the group. The Nephilim watched the Archangels carefully, their weariness ingrained from centuries of being hunted. Their anxiety was only kept at bay by Iris, who stood among them, smiling and beckoning the angels closer. Raphael found Michaela in the crowd.
“You better get the livestock in the barn,” he said, the warning clear in his voice.
“Why?”
The Nephilim parted around her, outlining a clear path between her and the Archangels, who didn’t come any closer. They regarded her with empty faces. Even Simiel averted his eyes. Michaela had only been able to guess up until this point, but now it was clear even her Archangels blamed her for releasing the hybrids and the chaos it had caused. If they knew about Gabriel signing over his soul, they likely hated her for causing that too. There was a divide between them as wide as a river. No one crossed. Their hollow presence sapped any relief at their return. She squared her shoulders.
“Why?” she asked again.
Raphael glanced over his shoulder at the approaching wall of darkness. “Locusts.”
