Firstly, I am all WOOOOOOOO because I have finally finished the first draft of Deliverance. It clocked in at 85.5K words and I finished it five days before my self-imposed deadline, so I'm jolly chuffed. I may have yelled "WOOHOO" when I finished it, but I refuse to confirm or deny this. :D

Secondly, I'm at Confessions from Romaholics, so stop by ( Read more... )

It feels like forever since I've posted anything. That's due to the fact I've been very sick. I'm starting to recover, slowly, but I still find myself getting worn out very easily and still feel a bit "flat," for want of a better word. Ten days after my night in the emergency room in hospital, I *still* have a large blood bruise on my left arm from ( Read more... )

I've been tagged!

Here are the rules: The ‘rules’ are: Go to page 7 or 77 of your latest work. Read down to the seventh line and then post online the next seven lines or sentences. Then head off and tag seven more writers.

This is from No Surrender, No Retreat, which is currently in the editing stage.

Today, I'm going to blog about plagiarism.

NB: I am not including Fanfic in this. I personally have no problem with it. Professional Fanfic sells very well (just look at the amount of Star Trek, Supernatural, and Doctor Who TV tie-in novels there are for example!) and I have no problem with that, either. I even - *gasp* - own a couple of these ( Read more... )

February has been a rollercoaster month so far, and we've only just started it! I was thinking about my writing, specifically about No Quarter which is out soon (omg, so excite!) and about how proud I am of that book and the books that follow it that make up the series. Even though I'm only a quarter way through writing book three, I'm still ( Read more... )

It's a good day today.

Firstly, I'm guest blogging at clarelondon's blog, today, talking about inspiration in photos, and I've shared some images of inspirational things, including one of Daniel Craig. Inspiration is in everything, am I right? Anyhoo, do stop by!

Secondly, I got a contract for book two of my Archangels series, No Surrender, No Retreat, ( Read more... )

I have finished my Nano novel. It feels very strange right now, to have a Saturday night with nothing to write - although that's not exactly true, I do have things to write, I'm just taking a wee break - so I've been faffing with Paint Shop Pro instead ( Read more... )

I've been pretty quiet on the blogging front here the last several weeks, and I apologise for that. Things have been all varieties of hectic, so I haven't had the energy or the time to participate in things I enjoy that I normally would, like Six Sentence Sunday or Thursday Thirteen ( Read more... )

Today is a good day.

Even though I had a blood test done this morning (a regular thing - it never gets less unpleasant), nothing was going to ruin my good mood. And why such a good mood? I woke up to a lovely email from Dreamspinner Press, offering me a contract for the first novel in The Archangel Chronicles.

So No Quarter, the novel that went ( Read more... )
