Female Doctor
|
|
I've heard for a long time about one female doctor in my family lineage: my grandfather's cousin. I had hoped to find more about her before I wrote this post but I'm finding the story already very interesting and can always follow up if I get more. For example, I hope to locate photos of her. Two siblings in a …

A different life?
|
|
It's interesting to contemplate all the differences that might have been one's life if one's grandmother had married differently. I'm looking through my mom's mom's scrapbook from college in Wooster, Ohio, and came across a page with a guy's photo, his name and a dried flower, from around 1911. My grandfather came to live with Mamoo's (that's what we called …

Gardening Week at Summer School
|
|
This week we started tidying up the school garden. We tackled one garden bed yesterday that was overgrown, dirt so heaped you couldn't see the edges of the box anymore. The kids tackled it with great will, shoveling, loosening, clawing up the weeds with claw tools and hauling them away in tubs. They watered and cleared around some tenacious little …

What comes first, plot or characters?
|
|
The author of Story Genius would vehemently say the main character (MC) comes first—not just the MC but the MC's history. According to the author, Lisa Cron, story is not at all the same as plot. What we crave in a story is to be carried along by the MC's internal changes as he/she struggles for something—that thing he/she needs …

Lost Xentu
|
|
One runs into unpredictable conundrums diving into writing, no matter what, but especially when taking on multiple projects. I agreed to be part of an author anthology. Eight novels on the topic Mermen and other Sea Shifters will come out weekly in 2023. My release date is October 30! I decided it was a good theme for me since I …

Coming out end of summer or fall, 2022

|
|
Author's note: My new Braided Dimensions book covers are likely to be at least in the next to final stage in the coming few weeks. I have no new versions to show but I've started working on two short novelettes that will be parts of anthologies. One is set in an underwater world and might be called Sea Elf. It has its origins in my current sci fi novel, Elf Stone of the Neyna. The other will be Sophie, Sylph. This is based on a Braided Dimensions character and is due out in September, 2023.

Excerpt from Sea Elf (no cover image yet):
|
“Here we go.” Malu flipped them over the side of the boat and they began to sink, Malu pulling Yanda downward.
|
|
Then they swam. Well, Malu swam and Yanda did her best not to hamper their progress, trying to adjust to the air breathed from an aqualung.
|
|
She began to make out lights under the water. As they drew closer, she spotted globes glowing in the arched windows of a sort of castle that descended deep into the waters.
