I didn’t start out writing the manlove.
Oh, I guess the signs were there. My first series of books, the Dark Elves series, had hints. OK, more than hints. The elves are a race where only male children are born and they have to kidnap and convert human women to procreate. So, from the very […]

Well, I’m back at it. After spending last week off I was anxious to get back to WC. Unfortunately, after a week off when I got back to it DIP Disorder hit big time. DIP is Deadline Induced Panic. The primaray symptom is tearing at your hair stomping around and yelling […]

When I was a kid, getting sick was fun. Not the throwing up/fever aspect, but the part where I got to stay home from school and watch television and have my mom bring me orange juice and toast.
As I got older, the fun faded. In college being sick meant missing lectures that I’d paid for, and […]

Is actually working out very well! My current novel, The Lost Temple of Karttikeya, is cruising along nicely. I’m actually making 3-5,000 words a day — as long as I leave writing the lovemaking out.
Oh, I’m not leaving it OUT out. I’m saving writing it until last. I’m writing the whole adventure out. Where the […]

Yeah, I’m still droning on about Untamed Heart LOL. Leon, my POV character, is the first character I’ve ever written who really is kind of an anti-social bastard. The thing is, he’s been through some truly horrible events, and you can’t help but feel sympathetic towards him. You can’t help liking him, even, and you […]

I’ve got too many characters in my head.
This isn’t a horrible thing. It’s certainly better than not having any characters in my head. Without them, I’d be terribly lonely. For my entire life, imaginary people have been discussing their lives with me within the recesses of my brain and I’m quite used to ducking out […]

I’m knee deep in a remodeling project, so With Caution has been chilling out all week. Next week it will be back to work as usual. But this week Andre took off from work and has put me to work. We’ve put up two walls and installed a set of French doors […]

After I questioned every scene in my outline, it grew from three pages to twelve. Snippets were written and added, and by this morning I had sixty pages.
*sigh*
 Now, to question the characters.
The process is akin to what I did to the scenes. Who’s the protagonist? What do they want? What do they hope for? What […]

I’m writing a story for LooseId’s Collector series right now. It’s the last in the first series, the one that ties up the loose ends and resolves the hanging issues of the mysterious man himself. It’s also M/M romance, of course, and involves adventures to the jungles of India and our heroes face perils outside […]
