Yesterday I finished Zydeco Queen and sent it to my first reader. After she goes through and tells me what’s broken, I will fix it and send it to my editor. So I’m still on schedule for indie pubbing that novel come June-ish. I wrote the next 1000 words on a different story tonight —
I know I have other things to chat about. But this is on my mind. A Sword’s Poem was the historic fantasy I’d planned on writing after I’d finished The Jaguar and the Wolf. I’ve actually written the first 19K words. The main character loses her mate in the first chapter, then is in denial
As promised, when I post a new story I also make it available for free for a week on my web site. The Key To Many Places Sure, Martin is Irish. And he doesn’t stand more than four feet tall. Maybe he has a fondness for red jackets. Perhaps also a shoe collection that would

One of the things that I always find frustrating with rewrites is how to measure my effort. For example, I worked for about two hours today on the rewrite of Zydeco Queen. In terms of word count, I only added about 600 new words. If I was writing first draft, 600 words in 2 hours
I am pleased to announce that the trade paperback version of my collection Baker’s Dozen is now available! This version has been thoroughly copy-edited, so it is my belief that 99% of all grammar and word errors have been corrected. (It is also my belief that there’s no such thing as a perfect book.
