Inspired by an official, one-of-a-kind Ken doll made to look like Adam Lambert, I wrote a very short piece about a Johnnie doll on FWF this morning.

Discussion with my Muses
me: That was so much fun!
Luc: (strolls up, clapping) Brava.
me: (hugs him, excited) I haven’t had a day of writing like that for a long time. I miss world building.
Luc: It is what you seem to like best.
me: True. Contemporaries are so… confining. I get to make up all the rules in a fantasy world.
Luc: (chuckles) Whatever you say.
me: What are you wearing?
Luc: I’m not sure? Is this Victorian or western?
He’s wearing a blousey white shirt with long buttoned cuffs, a fitted, cream waistcoat (i.e. vest) and snug denim jeans that disappear into knee high black boots. The auburn hair is a little longer than normal, pulled back in a queue that dangles a third of the way down his back with plenty of lovely tendrils that have escaped to frame his face. At least one knife is visible, a nasty one in a sheath strapped to his right thigh.
Reese: (seated with legs crossed on a table nearby) Whatever it is, you look good. Continue reading Discussion with my Muses

Helping a friend
One of my editors and a very good friend is in need and some very cool authors have put together a campaign to help her out. I seriously dropped the ball on participating but I’m trying to help get the word out for the last few days. The campaign ends May 7 and there’s a pretty nice grand prize.
Raven has been instrumental and invaluable in helping me to produce the dark elves, Leashed and Heaven Sent and I cherish her for that. On top of that, she’s a terrific person who doesn’t deserve the hell she’s been going through, not that anyone does.
Here’s the campaign:

Short Discussion with Brent
I had a short discussion with Brent from Heaven Sent on Fiction with Friction today:
Weekend’s blogging

Update, of sorts
I know I’ve been really quiet lately. I wanted to assure you that I am working, it’s just slow going. 2011 hasn’t been the best of writing years for me, unfortunately. First Reverb wiped me out and now Leashed 4 is kicking my ass. But that’s just whiny author talk. I’ve been doing lots and lots of reading, much of it in series, so I find myself being just as impatient for the next story as some of my readers. So I get it. I DO get it.
It looks like Toys for Good Girls will be coming out in November so that should be fun. Again, it’s a not quite Christmas story that takes place in Santa’s Village which resides in a parallel universe where elves can shapeshift into reindeer or chubby little men with jolly laughs and pudgy tummies. This one’s m/f though so we’ll see who of Reindeer Games‘ audience is interested. Sorry guys, I gave it some serious thought but Bok insisted that he wasn’t gay. I think Tanty’s pretty cool though so hopefully some of you will enjoy her.
Leashed. Oh my gods. I’ve written this elsewhere but let me just say again that I have a new, profound respect for authors who write series about the same individuals. Continue reading Update, of sorts
