Yes, I borrowed the title from Catie. But I do have 5 things. 1. In June, I on a whim sent in an application to be on the Shamrokon programme, but I didn’t expect to get a panel. So I was dumbfounded when I got an e-mail from the programme committee with my preliminary schedule. […]
Ta da! I spent the morning finalizing the cover for Exile, the prequel short story I’m planning on releasing in August . It isn’t entirely final, but any changes will be minor tweaks. Isn’t it pretty? I’ll admit that I had a lot of fun creating the cover.
I’m doing edits right now, and the last couple of days I have been thinking about speed. I’m the first to admit that I’m a slow revisor. Some people blows through 10 pages per hour, while I’m overjoyed if I manage to edit 5 pages per day. I know why it is going so slow, […]
Time stretched-. My shoulders started to cramp, and I wished my abductors had untied me before they left. When I heard the sound of voices, I was sure they weren’t going to my cell. Because no kidnapper would take a guest to see a prisoner. They would if they plan to sell me. The thought […]
I read Risk of Love and Magic recently, and had a blast. I loved the romance between Nadine and Magnus. They were both a bit wary to the other, and it was sweet how the wariness first turned into affection, albeit an baffled one, and then love. Their search for Nadine’s sister, and later the […]

This is part of the 1800 words I had to cut yesterday. It is non-spoilery, though, so I have decided to post it here in chunks. I *might* rewrite it into a short story about how Jenny and Tony met some time in the future. Tension coiled inside of me when I stepped out. […]
This conversation happened last night, and it amused me. My family support me, but they don’t really understand the difference between selfpublishing and traditional publishing. Mum on seeing the cover: Daughter of the Dark? That sounds a bit grim. Me, a cheekily: That’s because I’m an evil daughter. ( I’m not)
I am being wise ( hopefully) at SF Signal in this week’s Mind Meld about re-reads. I had a lot of fun to write down the thoughts I have had about why some books sucks and some doesn’t when you re-read them. I have been thinking about this for a long time, so I am […]
I used to post weekly deals when I wrote reviews. I am considering to resume them, since I was pretty good at finding them and they were fun to write. Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie is 1.99 right now. This is a science fiction novel that has been nominated to a lot of awards, and […]
