Lane made plans to spend the next day at the river with Jonathan, his wife Amaryllis, and their children. The Council of Archein unanimously agreed that they could do without the sulking widower for the day, as well as any others he felt he needed off. Lane had been an excellent politician and addition to […]

I was going to talk today about my favorite book, but instead I’m going to talk about support. We all need support in anything we do, and sometimes the person who we expect to give it the most falls through. Or not only falls through, but obliterates any semblance of support you might have thought

Happy Mother’s Day! Today I wanted to bring you a sticky about a mother, and I found this little gem while ripping out all of the pages of Fie Eoin from my notebooks to put in a folder. If you remember Aleda from Sticky #27 then you should have some idea of what this sticky
“Don’t touch my daughter!” She screamed at the man with the gun, and ignoring the guns on her own hips she ran forward through the dark hallway. “Rebecca!” Lane yelled and reached out to grab her back, but his words were drowned out by two gunshots. She jerked backwards twice in quick succession and, dreamlike, fell

I wanted to take a minute to talk to you about Lane’s Girl, which I am going to start posting tomorrow as a serialized novel on the blog. I know that we’ve already done the whole Lane’s Girl/Rebecca Stories post, but that’s more about the Rebecca Stories, really, and Lane’s Girl is something else entirely.

Welcome to Sticky #52 everyone! This means that I’ve finally put up a year’s worth of stickies (and I’ve only been around for two and a half years, so that’s not bad, right?). I don’t know why this sticky scanned in so poorly, but it is still readable, and it is about Fie Eoin. I’ve
30. Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters! I have decided to ignore Question #30 and instead focus a little bit more on what’s next. So, new Question #30: What’s next? If you’ve been reading my Twitter Feed or Facebook

29. How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters? Seriously? What kind of question is this? I pretty much think of writing ALL THE TIME. When I wake up in the morning is probably the quietest my brain will be all day, and by the

28. Have you ever written a character with physical or mental disabilities? Describe them, and if there’s nothing major to speak of, tell us a few smaller ones. The only character I can think of with a major disability (and it doesn’t inhibit her in life, just in her chosen profession) is Alicia from TSP,

27. Along similar lines, do appearances play a big role in your stories? Tell us about them, or if not, how you go about designing your characters. I would have to say that I do get an idea of what my characters look like (see yesterday’s post), but I’m not so concerned with giving a
