I've had some turbulence this last month. Two weeks ago, my mother passed away, and I completely stopped my editing and writing. Today, I've started editing Waxing, book two of the Obsidian Embers Trilogy, again. Here's my current favorite line edited. "She’d been in Zulfikar less than a day, but the second she’d found an inn, she’d shaved her head and bought dresses. As much as she hated all the exposed flesh, she hated the idea of dying from the sun even more."

Is anyone interested in a signed paperback copy of Kindling? They'll be $20, and if you know anyone who likes dark fantasy, they'll make great gifts!

For NaNoWriMo this year, I've been working on Devouring, book three of the Obsidian Embers Trilogy. Here's a tiny excerpt, the last thing I wrote today. She shook her head and narrowed her eyes, focusing her mind again on her friend lying motionless and unconscious in their tent. “You nearly killed my friend.” “Did I?” He widened his eyes and tilted his head. “I’m slipping. I meant to fully kill him.”

I'm excited to say I've got quite a lot going on for the last half of year. Things in my personal life are coming into order, and that means I'm feeling happier and have more energy to work on my writing. I've just submitted a witch story to an upcoming anthology, and I'm just about to sit down to work on a demon story for another. After that, I'll be writing a fantasy story for an upcoming anthology with the theme "Magic on Tap" from Star's End Press which involves brews of all sort where I'll go back to Millicent, my female assassin who appeared in Kingmaker. After that, I'll be trying my hand at sci-fi for another Star's End Press anthology. Finally, my novel is slated to come out in November! Keep tuned, lovely people, I'm really getting on a roll now!
