After Ancient is one of those great ideas for a sweeping, grand story that got too big for me to handle. I have confidence that someday I will be able to tackle it again and whip it into shape, but for now it’s a half-written, scattered-scene mess. The idea behind After Ancient is that in […]
If you haven’t noticed already, I’m a huge fan of mythology. My second grade teacher gave me a book of myths when I was in her class and I have loved them ever since. The first myth I read in that book was Orpheus and Eurydice (still one of my favorites) and I loved it.
You should all know almost as much about Phooka Tales as you do about Fie Eoin by now, since it deals very closely with my own past work situation and the main character is probably as close to me as you can get. Self insertion? Yes. Mary Sue? Not by a mile. Holly Thompson has

So, today’s sticky may seem a little boring (aside from the bottom of it that talks about Holidays), but it actually is a very important part of Phooka Tales. I’m working on editing Phooka Tales this year, and the majority of the story is based on my making my main character’s life as horrible
So two weeks ago I had a writing group meeting, and one of the girls who came to the meeting had a really old chapter of Fie Eoin to give back to me. We’re talking, Chapter Two. And while not much has changed from the Chapter Two that I gave her to the present
So, it’s been about a month since my last post, huh? I didn’t forget about you – really, I didn’t – but I’ve been busy learning a new test at work, which always turns my brain into over-saturated mush. Much like my front yard this afternoon. You see, I live in Charleston, SC and it
I’m finally putting up a sticky from my new project, which is still Top Secret, so this is probably the only sticky you are going to see from it for a while. But as this sticky gives nothing away, I’m okay with giving you a little sneak peak. As you might guess from the
