A Dark Dream – an excerpt from Ashes: Infinite Redress
Djoran sits nervously in the chair, her hands clasped in her lap, trying desperately not to look frightened or confused by these people and their awkward questions. “When did you last pin back the wings of the Menaus Lytlap?” “What … Continue reading
Without a Word About Arrangements, She Hadn’t Got a Clue
So I’m up around 5 AM, hyperlinking a copy of ASHES: Infinite Redress, because really, I did slather on the alien terminology pretty thick. Thinking I’ll have to do the same for the rest of the series, when I get … Continue reading

Ebb and Flow, Let It Go
Well, today was my big day–released Ashes: Infinite Redress, The Bride of War AND Terminal Monday, all at once–and you know, it’s a bit weird. None of the celebratory rituals seem to have sparked off that sense of accomplishment. Instead, … Continue reading

It’s Clouds’ Illusions I Recall
Hoping you’ll pardon me, but I’m a bit warm and tired, my brain isn’t processing so well, and I have a lot of work to do today, so I won’t be writing a long post today. I’m listening to Levin … Continue reading
15 Minutes… That’s All You Get
Today is going to be a work day, if I can just shake off this virtual hangover I’ve got due to the trouble I’ve had sleeping over the last week or so. I woke up at aroudn 2:30 AM and … Continue reading
Cuz London Is Drowning and I… I Live By The River
Alright, I’m feeling a bit aggressive today, probably from listening to John Taylor’s Neurotic Outsiders, which I have to admit was a very impolite album, but amusing. His retake on Planet Earth, the prototypical Duran Duran New Wave hit, was … Continue reading
I Played the Game and Lost
So today I missed my deadline for releasing ASHES: Infinite Redress. I had a sort of hangover headache that last almost all day, and by the time it had abated, I was too worn out to get any work done. … Continue reading
It’s a Curious Feeling
This writing business has some weird juju to it. There are ritual forms that have to be observed. they’re different for virtually every writer, as near as I can tell. My ritual is a bit simplified. I have a designated … Continue reading

‘Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy
Yes, I’m still having fun with misherad lyrics. This morning’s bit was taken from a line in a Van Halen tune that I couldn’t remember properly, and neither could the first guy I found when doing a Google search for … Continue reading
Yeah When I See You And Your Little Guitars Sing To Me
I should tell you that, when you see me posting excerpts from my upcoming novels, it isn’t planned; I just happen to be working on some piece from one of the books, and it suddenly occurs to me that there’s … Continue reading
Contamination – excerpt from ASHES: Infinite Redress
Djoran was dressed in light fatigues, sampling some of the water at the mouth of a small stream that lead into a heavily forested area. The water samples she’d taken under the canopy of the trees had been rich with … Continue reading
Oh Won’t You Come Here, Whoever You Are?
There are days when I can feel from the very start that I’m going to have a good, productive day. There are also days when I can tell from the moment I get up that I’m better off staying in … Continue reading
Open My Eyes To a New Kind of Way
I had hoped to make this post yesterday, but I’d been pretty busy at my mother’s place. Probably just as well I didn’t, because I was pretty distracted, and honestly didn’t have much to talk about. Yesterday’s title kindof says … Continue reading
