I'm usually months late posting reviews, remembering only the vibes of the book and little else, but I couldn't wait to review Darkness Come Alive by Paul Stephenson. The vibes are impeccable and the story is so much fun

You know the editing is going well when you forget there's half a cup of coffee waiting for you, and when you do remember said coffee is cold. Luckily I can deal with cold coffee better than I can deal with tea that's gone cold.

16/23 chapters of Grimstone 2 are edited! *happy wiggles*

Hello friends! I'm deep in the #editing trenches. The first half of Grimstone 2 is with beta readers and I'm racing against the calendar to ensure the second half is ready for them on the day their feedback for the first half is due.

Happy Thursday friends! Had a busy week with hospital appointment on Monday and editing Grimstone 2, but my brain is not working as well as it should after a night of anxiety induced dreams that stressed me out. SO! To help, I wrote an over-due review of Becoming Crone by Lydia M. Hawke

Struggling today after a horrible night of sleep but if nothing else, I've managed to commit some words to the page today in the chapter I'm adding to Grimstone 2. After the short romp that was Shattered Lines at 46k or so, it's fun to see Grimstone 2's word count hit 68k and know there's more to come. Like that's a whole ass novel. Not a baby novel.

A bit late for the first post of 2025, but at least it's still January

I published my debut book two weeks ago! It doesn’t feel real. I don’t know if it ever will sink in, but I made a cute thing to celebrate.

Once a cosmic force, now a weary human, Ksenia must confront her past and protect a teenage girl from the impending apocalypse she unwittingly caused.

#WritersCoffeeClub 14 Nov: what's the most challenging thing about writing characters of a different sex/gender from your own?

This was something I used to worry about *a lot* particularly when writing cis male coded characters. I had read a lot of male authors talk about how female authors can't write male characters and blah blah blah. Then I had an epiphany. Generally speaking, I don't write about humans, so why would I expect my characters to behave/think/communicate in a human manner?

✨Humans are awful
✨Found family is important but sometimes who receives that title is a foolish choice

Things have been a whirlwind since Halloween. Celebrations have happened, emergencies have happened, grief for loss in the family and for friends who similarly had family pass have happened, political turmoil, and still things go on. That last part always feels surreal to me.

Morning friends! Back at it today. I started working on a chapter rewrite in Grimstone 2 and it feels so weird to be writing again after months of editing. What are you doing this week?
