If I type with my forehead, my wordcount goes up faster!
This morning I finished the first draft of GhostCop (not the actual title). Into the drawer it goes; I’ll edit it…oh, I don’t know, sometime in late winter or early Spring. I can’t say with more certainty than that, but … Continue reading
A brief writing update

Writing in the hotel room
A little work before play. #AmWriting, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. Getting a little work done before we head to Ithaca, because as Captain Malcolm Reynolds once said, “We work before we play.” He also said some other stuff, but that’s … Continue reading

Son of the Bride of the Return of Potential Cover Art!
Haven’t done this in a while…some art that trips my trigger for what the cover of either of the first two Princesses In SPACE!!! (not the actual title) books should look like. Maybe.
