I’m pretty sure that everyone who writes has that one phrase that they rely on and always turn to in every story. It’s kind of like having that one character that you kill in every story (what? I’m the only one who does that?). It’s the fall-back phrase, or something that rings so true […]
“Thanks for walking me to my room Lane, I appreciate it.” Kelly, who was slightly shorter than Rebecca, looked up with a genuine smile. It was the Midsummer Night before Mika’s birth, and Kelly was dancing for the first time at the Midsummer Festival, taking over for Rebecca who claimed she was feeling too old

I know that you guys are waiting with bated breath for the next installment of Lane’s Girl (you are, aren’t you?), but today instead of posting a story about adultery and death and trying to raise a child on your own I thought I would tell you another story. A love story. And tomorrow we’ll
I have a feeling that I’m not the only writer who gets sidetracked by shiny things. A new story to work on, a world to build, a book to read. Lately, I’ve become distracted by playing this shiny game that you might have heard of, called World of Warcraft. It’s kind of fun to come

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.
