The thing about black cats – as with the thing with mirrors (broken or otherwise), the thing with ladders (and going beneath them) and the thing with salt (generally, but not always, spilled) is that black cats are, by their nature – by several of their natures – accretors of energy, at least, of certain kinds of energy. Black […]

“You were born on a full moon as the new year turned over.” Uther had heard this story a thousand times, maybe a million.  His mother told it to him a certain way, usually on nights when the full moon shone bright in a clear sky.  His grandmother told it another way, usually when Uther […]

Lina squeezed all three boys' hands in turn and let Jackson steer, around to the side of the plant. "If we hadn't been willing to do this, if we hadn't been here," he murmured, "I'm pretty sure they'd have let it blow again, without telling the city where they needed to evacuate."

And the Link Basically: After Sunday’s Live-Writing Day, I still have a large chunk of this novella to write! I’d like to do a series of shorter streams – 1 or two hours – over January (And possibly the end of December) to get it finished up. Tell me when would be best for you […]

#LiveWriting Day 2020 is in the bag!  And like everything in 2020, it was a little trickier than expected, with some unanticipated glitches, and some slog points. 

But like every #LiveWritingDay I've done, it was also a lot of fun, a success, and a very good (if long) day.

We weren't ready. 

We'd been training for weeks - months - learning our companions, learning to use the reliquaries we carried with us, learning to use or own strengths and weaknesses.  We'd nearly fallen to a much less important enemy more than once....

"This part of the Library is open to the general public without an appointment, and, as such, it's almost entirely benign," Amanana explained, as they moved through an area full of shelves and books that looked almost like a normal, albeit rich, library.

Lina wasn't sure she recognized herself anymore. She sounded like some rich woman, telling people they had to do what she wanted. Looking at this exec - she was pretty sure that was a very expensive suit - as if she'd personally disappointed Lina.

Either the force shield or the tone of voice, maybe both, made the woman falter. "You can't be here. The plant is undergoing routine maintenance-"

It only took Amanana a moment to recover from the surprise Veronika had given her. 

"Time travel."  She chuckled, although it was a bit weak.

"Your dog," he clarified. "Your hound."

"Mmm. My Leander," she murmured softly. She wrapped her arms around him, pressed a kiss to his forehead, kissed the edge of one of his ears. "Thank you."

Ctirad was struggling to stay awake. 

Although Timaios had said 'that’s what we’re here about,' it had been almost forty minutes, and they still hadn’t gotten to doing something about Ermenrich.

Since I’m getting all excited about my upcoming Live-Writing Day, I wrote up a What Is LiveWriting Day! So what IS Live-Writing Day? Well, it’s funny you should ask… Inspired by https://1889.ca/https://www.amazon.com/MCM/e/B002GGD2IS/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1 – who wrote several novels in live-writing events – and by Ysabet Wordsmith’s Fishbowl (which also inspired my Giraffe Calls…), livewriting […]

"You must get tired of walking all the way to the dungeon to shave our little pirate," Snow cooed.

Charming fought his reactions. The tone never did anything good for him, never meant anything at all good, but some part of him still perked up like she might show some actual concern, some actual affection.

It seemed as if everyone in the room was holding their breath - Veronika, who would have to breathe eventually, Lady Knight-West, whose need to breathe had left her some time ago, and Amanana, whose breathing requirements Veronika was not all that certain about.

There were often strangers at their market. 

That was why they'd set it up where they had - the highway  might not be quite the hub of traffic it once had, but it was still a broad, easy way for people to move, and they still used it (once Roger and the others had cleared out enough cars to make 2 lanes passible again).
