Happy Friday, Aledan Merfolk! If you’re new to Fie Eoin Fridays (it’s been a while since we’ve had one), it’s the day I post a deleted scene or backstory from whatever project I’m currently working on. Originally that project was Fie Eoin (now The Nameless Warrior), hence the name. I’m back in Fie Eoin’s world […]

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! You’re definitely much more Aledan today, because for the past two weeks I’ve been working on a Fie Eoin short story for the anthology WOMEN IN PRACTICAL ARMOR.

Happy Tuesday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m recovering from a nasty bout of the flu that left me with laryngitis today, but Science stops for no one. Today’s science news list may be a bit space-heavy because I’ve been listening to the audiobook of THE MARTIAN while sick. It makes my little scientist heart happy because the

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I finished the third draft of StO this week, and I’m doing a read-through to make sure I didn’t screw anything up before I send it to my next round of CPs. I’m fairly sure the plot is solid, and the characterization in the beginning is much stronger, so I’m hoping

Happy Tuesday, Aledan Merfolk! It’s Science Newsday and we have a lot to cover, so let’s get right to it! Easter Island culture in decline before Europeans arrived, study suggests: After examining obsidian tools at archaeological sites on Easter Island, researchers say environmental factors may have played a role in the decline of the indigenous
Happy Sunday, Aledan Merfolk! The merfolk part of you is really going to like today’s custom. Back when I first moved to Charleston I planned to get my masters in marine biology studying seahorses (but nuclear chemistry pays better), so when I saw today’s seapony custom I fell in love. I think my mermaid, Erie,

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m happy to say that I’ve finally made it back into writer-brain, and I’ve finished just over half of Draft Three of StO this week! I’m currently writing a brand new Erie scene, and I’m really liking the changes I’ve made for her. She sounds more mature in this draft, and
Happy Tuesday, Aledan Merfolk! Are you ready for 2015’s first dose of awesome science news? Let’s see what the new year has in store for us.
