I still have, oh, about 2 chapters to compose in Stain of Corruption, and a full polish to do, but the forst three squeaky clean chapters and a synopsis have gone off to my agent. It's such a HUGE relief. Hard to believe i've only been working on it since mid September. Here's hoping someone will buy it.

The next book seems to want to be an odd, ( Read more... )

Well, sort of.

I was chatting online last night with some friends and one, Paul, offered to make a Facebook page for me for fans and news and whatnot. So he did, and it's pretty cool with people signing up and all.

Totally strange.

So, anyway, you can check out the page and comment all you like! :)

If anyone's interested in the state of Stain of ( Read more... )

Been doing lots of work on Stain of Corruption, at least in what moments I get available, and it's, well, a convoluted tangle. Not that that's unusual, mind you, but it is a jumble. Since it's damn near impossible to write straight through from beginning to end like I usually do, I'm writing key scenes (key to me, anyway) which I'll put in order to ( Read more... )

It's that time of the week again. You know the drill. This is the final scene from Chapter One of Stain of Corruption, and it features my favorite slacker, Gilby Talmil.

I actually tried to access the header for this blog page and insert the Mr. Linky coding this week, but, well, I can't figure out how, unless I upgrade to a paid or advertising ( Read more... )

So far, Stain of Corruption is coming along quite nicely. It's not really a mystery at all - someone did kill Nigel and Dub will have to catch them before it's all over - but it doesn't seem to want to be about the murder, just as Valley was more about Sweeny than the deaths. Is that good? Is it bad? I dunno ( Read more... )

Here's the next installment of Stain of Corruption, and it's on time! Well, early, but I'm going ot be offline all day Friday. I still haven't fiddled all the meme stuff into the hard-wiring, so remember to look up the primary list and other meme info over at Holly's Blog.  This scene is brand spanking new - in fact I just wrote it last weekend - ( Read more... )

I'm working on a new scene tonight, and I'm juggling the need to get information across to the reader without smacking them upside the head with it. It's a tricky razor to walk, too obtuse and the clues aren't caught, too strong and the story becomes too obvious.  I'm not even talking mystery points here, just character interaction, backstory, and ( Read more... )

Yeah, I know it's 2 days late, but I'm up and the house is quiet.

You know the drill. Here's the next installment of Stain of Corruption.  I still haven't figured out how to put all the official meme stuff into the blog let alone have a block of time to actually DO it, so please see the primary list and other meme info over at Holly's Blog.  This ( Read more... )

As promised, here's the next installment of Stain of Corruption.  I still haven't figured out how to put all the official meme stuff into the blog with confidence - I do NOT want to fry all my data again - so please see the primary list and other meme info over at Holly's Blog.  This scene began last week, so you may want to read that bit first ( Read more... )

I'm going to post these over here instead of tamboblog, since posting it there has knocked my blog unconscious and fruit loopy for a week now. If you want to read the current first scene from the next Dubric novel, Stain of Corruption, it's on the not-quite-functional tamboblog, and is the third post down (as of when I write this). I found this ( Read more... )
