So here’s what’s up… In keeping with the whole updating-my-business thing that began during the summer, I spent much of September and October continuing to explore the best directionContinueContinue reading “October, 2016”

August, 2016 #MondayBlogs
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming… First off, an apology. While I fully intended to post updates for June and July, life intervened, and I wound up taking the summer off. As it turns out, I really needed a vacation. While this does mean my production schedule for the rest of the yearContinueContinue reading “August, 2016 #MondayBlogs”
Q&A With L.J.K. – What Is Romance?
**NOTE** I received this question back when I was still writing primarily romance. My current work skews more towards the urban fantasy side of the genre, however, I still like to spice it up from time to time. Enjoy! @writermama: Aye mama! Whats your opinion in romance? What is it to you? How would you define romance betweenContinueContinue reading “Q&A With L.J.K. – What Is Romance?”

The Proust Questionnaire: As Answered By Seneca Lynch #MondayBlogs
I was originally introduced to the Proust Questionnaire by my fellow Write Bitch Madhuri Blaylock in her interview series, Getting Proustian (you can find my interview on her blog). As an admitted nerd for self-reflection, I really enjoyed answering the questions. It also got me thinking. Why not put some of my characters under the microscope? BelowContinueContinue reading “The Proust Questionnaire: As Answered By Seneca Lynch #MondayBlogs”

Happy Spring, bitches! Spring just isn’t spring if I can’t have a garden. For the past couple years, one of the most immediate and painful casualties of the drought has been my spring/summer garden- selfish, I know, but there it is. This winter brought with it more rain than we’ve seen since my son was born, andContinueContinue reading “May, 2016”

The Devil’s Disease: TEASER #3
Lena looked back at Durbin. “Who is that?” He shook his head, and moved up to stand beside her. “You’d better let me handle this.” The woman reached them. “Would one of you like to tell me just how you got on my crime scene?” Durbin cleared his throat. “Apologies, Inspector. We’re not trying toContinueContinue reading “The Devil’s Disease: TEASER #3”
The Devil’s Disease, TEASER #2
The Wayfare Hotel for Restless Spirits was every bit as spooky as he remembered. MacMillian wedged his dark green Plymouth Fury into a spot alongside The Panhandle, and stared across the street at the vast old Victorian. Was it him, or had it expanded since he’d last been here? That was impossible, of course. EvenContinueContinue reading “The Devil’s Disease, TEASER #2”
The Devil’s Disease: TEASER #1
Night was never dark enough in the city. There was a single window in the small room he shared with the others. Unnatural orange light spilled through the single-paned glass. He could practically feel it, the individual particles screaming in his head like members of a discordant orchestra. The street outside was quiet, but heContinueContinue reading “The Devil’s Disease: TEASER #1”
