I’m having a problem lately getting Pike, my antagonist in Fie Eoin, to be more creepy and less like a little boy trying to flirt but not knowing how. Granted, the in the beginning of the book he has just gone through the ceremony to become a man, so he probably should act a bit […]

Have you ever been scared and breathless, friends? I was this week – I sent the first few chapters of Fie Eoin to my critiquing group to read and give back. And then I really went all out and posted the excerpt online for a critiquing group full of strangers. Talk about scared! But you know
I’m starting to think that I might be kind of weird. No, hear me out now. Really. Last night I was writing some Fie Eoin, because I sorta, kinda, am really in love with it, and I realized that I always look at Fie Eoin from the southeast. Whenever I see Fie Eoin in my

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

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

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,
