The Akashic Record and Quantum Physics

So, way back in the dark and dusty days of early 2016 I was working on a Novel which was tentatively titled ‘The Caster of Shadows’. I got about a hundred thousand words in, and was just chugging along, turning out chapter after chapter when something happened and for various reasons, I stopped and put …

On the Necessity of Making Our Own Myths

So, I’m writing this on what is technically the day after I finished Transistor.  That is, it’s after midnight, even if I haven’t gone to bed yet.  The reason I mention that is because it won’t get posted for a couple of weeks since it’s going in the queue for the Monday blog posts, but …

Putting the Heat in Your Smut

So, last night I wrote the second of two sex scenes in Transistor, and it got me thinking about my rules for writing sex scenes.  Yes, I have rules for writing sex scenes, because that’s just how my life goes.  The thing is those rules are why my sex scenes pretty much always get positive …

Transistor: The Elevator Pitch

Much like I did with Mail Order Bride and Scatter, I want to share as much about my latest novel with you, so here is the back cover blurb I wrote for for Transistor, which is a fluffy, angsty lesbian superhero romance with a Trans protagonist. Keep in mind that the book is still in …

Transistor is finished.

A chapter shorter than I expected, but still almost 95K words. God, this has been an adventure, and I am so, so freaking proud of myself for writing this book. There are not words for how much it means to me.

Alone With My 500 Trillion Girlfriends

(The title will make more sense once you’re read Transistor, I promise.) Writing is, by its very nature, a solitary pursuit.  Sure, there are people who work with writing partners.  I’ve even done that a time or two myself.  But even when you’re working with someone, the actual writing is done alone, with nothing but …

Making Writer’s Block Your Bitch

So, I try to have a coherent topic for these posts. I figure if I’m putting up content to try to encourage people to give me money over on my Patreon, I owe them good content. Today though, I’m cheating a bit, because it’s been a rough week, and honestly, I’ve had writer’s block from …

Status Report

This is a quick breakdown of the status of my various projects. Mail Order Bride:  On Submission to Publisher.  Response Expected Late October. Scatter:  On Submission to Publisher.  Response Expected Late October. The Master of Puppets: First Draft Finished.  Awaiting Revisions. Transistor:  76,515 words.  First Draft should be finished within the next two weeks. The …

A Matter of Perspective

(TW:  Mentions of Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors) So, I got asked a question yesterday by one of my Alpha readers for Transistor that threw me for a loop.  To give a bit of context, Naomi is the main character of Transistor, and due to a mistake made by her doctors, she ends up with an …
