Blitz Sign-Up: Dark One’s Bride
Whilst I am delving into To Poison a Prince, as well as considering a little extra short story between TTtH and the sequel... Dark One's Bride is in the process of having a little book blitz set up...
2019 Goals
Happy 2019, everyone! Last year I set myself a few writing goals in the New Year. About half of them got done, with a number of upheavals I couldn't possibly have accounted for. My goals for this year are a little modest in amount, but will require more from me. 2019 Goals Get Dark One’s … Continue reading 2019 Goals
Character Growth – DOB Edition
Whilst I'm going through the older stuff I've still got kicking around for Dark One's Bride, I've found myself stumbling into quite a few pieces that just didn't mesh with Clara's whole personality. I would like to think I knew that at the time of writing it, but I persisted for so long taking Clara … Continue reading Character Growth – DOB Edition
Feck it…
Between the death of my partner's grandmother, the euthanizing of our cancer-ridden cat and trying to actually get through the novels that I promised to review, I'm having a hard time focusing on Dark One's Bride. I've been at the stage of almost finishing chapter ten for around a month now. About the only thing … Continue reading Feck it…
2018 Goals and Other News
Happy 2018, everyone! Last year I set myself a few writing goals in the beginning of the New Year. A lot of them didn't get done, with In Pain and Blood commanding much of my time. I did get a few more books read than 2016, but fell well short of the twelve I'd set myself… … Continue reading 2018 Goals and Other News
Weekend Writing Warriors – #8sunday
It's been a while since I joined in with my dear Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday Folk. Dark One's Bride stalled over the last few months, in part to the passing of a dear kitty. I’ve managed to reach chapter eight since then. This piece is from chapter five, after Clara has spent her first night in the city of Endlight…
And So the Cutting Begins
I'm slowly starting to get back into the swing of things. And, part of that, is realising just how much needs to be altered in Dark One's Bride after the last change Clara insisted upon. It means that scenes, complete chapters I wrote some years back, no longer fit into the storyline. I haven't cut so … Continue reading And So the Cutting Begins
Weekend Writing Warriors – #8sunday
This week, my dear Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday Folk. I'm going to skip a little ahead in Dark One's Bride to the next chapter. In this piece, Clara has been greeted by the lady of the castle and, after shooing the other noblewomen, has ushered her off into a room for talk and tea…
When in Doubt, Send in the Assassins!
I first wrote a large chunk of Dark One's Bride way back in November of 2013, not long after Dark One's Mistress was originally published. Back then, it was the second of a duology. And, technically, complete. But it felt rushed, especially the second half which became Dark One's Wife. Whilst struggling on with a … Continue reading When in Doubt, Send in the Assassins!
