flowers for spring
If I can just leave the theme alone for a while . . . Speaking of spring, I have a Birthstone Single Shot coming out next month. We’re editing. (Yay!) Here’s an excerpt, because I’m in a remarkably good mood today and feel expansive. This one’s experimental. (Experimental like whoa. ) The rumor told of… Continue reading flowers for spring
for nostaligia’s sake
I’ve been organizing some files today (I got a new computer a few weeks ago and I’m still transferring and consolidating things) and came across the first scribble of what would eventually become Chiaroscuro. This was written in January 2005. Jamie & Ben: a love story For years Ben has said they met at a… Continue reading for nostaligia’s sake

My subconscious is working on the movie even when I’m not actively thinking about it. Case in point: This morning… Continue reading happy endings, truth and other ponderables
*peeks out from behind the curtain*
This is one part test post and one part update. I crosspost to Livejournal both from this domain and another, and the crosspost plugin has been falling down on the job, so I’m trying to figure out if it’s a Livejournal problem or a plugin problem or a domain problem. I suspect it’s a plugin… Continue reading *peeks out from behind the curtain*
