Today was the day!

Can you hear the very long sigh of relief? Yeah, that's me. Oh, and the kitty. We both had a quiet, relaxing day together. Man, it's good to be back into the swing of (writing) things. *sigh* So, what did I do today? I've been itching to start that dark urban fantasy/cy…

ONCE BITTEN, TWICE SHY

I’m Jaz Parks. My boss is Vayl, born in Romania in 1744. Died there too, at the hand of his vampire wife, Liliana. But that’s ancient history. For the moment Vayl works for the C.I.A. doing what he does best—assassination. And I help. You could say I’m an Assistant Assassin. But then I’d …

Stayed up way too late!

Okay. Just finished the first edits for my Vampire Oracle: Death novella this morning. Man, it always feels so good when I finish and email it to my editor. And you know what, I still love this story very much. This was something that happened from the time I put the proposal toget…

The non-writing saga continues...

You know, I keep complaining about how much of a drag it is to not be able to sit down and write when I feel like it. It's been a constant thing during the last four weeks. I feel like all I do lately is whine. But you know who's also keen on school starting? Loki. Yep. The poo…

Research, revision and reading

I'm reading some very interesting research material at the moment. All about how easy it is to plant false memories into people's brains, and how we all go into an average of three trances per day. It's interesting stuff, and all relevant to the novel I wrote during NaNo last…

Thank the gods, it's Friday!

Phew. I'm so looking forward to the weekend. I just want to take it easy. Maybe watch a few movies, keep reading the book I'm so engrossed in at the moment. Relax a bit. Last weekend was just too hectic. So, we're past the halfway point this month. Already. It sure is …

The sun's back...

And that makes me happy. :) Yeah. Though we've decided it's best for me to have the car every single day this week. It makes it easier to get to the pools and back. Before it was the rain, now it's the heat. Lol. It's just easier this way. I'm also going to try…

DARKLING

Tired

Yeah, I'm still very tired. Didn't feel like getting up this morning, and I pretty much collapsed into bed last night. Lol. It was a long day yesterday. It went quick, but still long. Maybe it was because there was so much to do. The swimming lesson went well. My daughter…

My mood matches the weather today

After an awesome weekend of really warm weather, it's cooled down a lot. And it's dark, raining. Had to be on the day when my daughter starts swimming lessons. Of course. Luckily, the pool's indoors. We planned to walk there. It takes about an hour. Instead, we had to drive…

IRON KISSED

When her former boss and mentor is arrested for murder and left to rot behind bars by his own kind, it's up to shapeshifting car mechanic Mercy Thompson to clear his name, whether he wants her to or not. And she'll have to choose between the two werewolves in her life-whether she…
