Snippet Wednesday: Teaser#2 from The Cauldron Bound

It is Wednesday, which means it is time  for another teaser from The Cauldron Bound. I hope you like it! 🙂 Maybe it was some sort of illusion. He didn’t know much about magic, but common sense told him that if it was an illusion, it should disappear if he touched it. He ignored the […]

The big summer project

I took the last week off from writing, since I felt that I needed it. But now I am back, and getting ready to dive into the big project for the summer:  Combining Daughter of the Dark and its sequel into one book. I am the first to admit that it is a bit daunting, […]

Snippet Wednesday: Teaser 1 from the Cauldron Bound

Since The Cauldron Bound is out July 1st ( or thereabouts), I have decided that it is time to tease you. Chapter one can be read here. ( And Chapter two is… somewere. I’ll post it next week.)  But I am planning on posting random teasers from Chapter three for the next eight weeks. Aodh […]

So I finished the draft

Yesterday, I finished the draft of Vanished. It is a bit messy, but it is done at a smidgen over 10 000 words. I also looked at the schedule and what I had done during the last month.  And decided that I needed a break. So I am taking the week off from writing.  And […]

Irregular round up of what I’m writing and reading

The publishing: First, Exile now has a permanent price of 0.99. The price has already dropped at Amazon, other retailers are coming during the next 2-3 weeks. Why? Because Kobo was charging 2.70, and since I want to charge 2.99 for The Cauldron Bound, I realised that was unsustainable.  Plus, I decided a low price […]

Deadlines everywhere

I just finished the revisions for The Alchemist’s Apprentice based on Thirzah’s feedback. The feedback was brutal.” I like it, but I think it would work better if you focused on one character.” I cursed at her in e-mail but guess what? She was right. I cut one of the POV’s, yet the revised draft is […]

Experiment ahoy!

I have been pondering pre-orders for awhile, but I have been reluctant to make the Cauldron Bound available as pre-order since the point of self publishing is the flexibility, to be able to publish as soon as the formatting is finished. So I decided to give pre-orders a try with The Alchemist’s apprentice.  Why? Because […]

Pondering short stories

I am writing a short story from Jenny’s POV right now. It takes place at the end of her apprenticeship to Arwel. I don’t write many short stories, but I am writing this one,  because of one line in Daughter of the Dark. I also have a couple of other short stories about Jenny that […]

A Cover for The Alchemist’s Apprentice

  So I decided to take today off from writing. The result? One short story edited and a cover for the short story designed.  And here is the cover. I like it. I originally planned on having a girl dressed in middle easternclothing on the cover, but I dropped that idea since the girls I […]
