My High Priestess story, Pleasure’s Power (new title!) has an official release date! The story will be available on November 15th–why do I always have releases right in the middle of NaNo? That’s just weird. Check out my cover art:

Getting from here to there (writerly questions)
Do you ever have a solid beginning, and a goal in mind for an ending, and still have no idea how to get from one to the other? Sometimes I have a very clear idea how the saggy middle of a story needs to go–a, b, c, d, surprise, ending. Or something like [...]
Er, wut?
So, I’m walking up the stairs to my office and suddenly, out of nowhere, the name, background and general look of a character for a totally new story just drop right into my head.

Musing
My muse. I know he’s a dude, and a pain in my butt. Otherwise, I don’t see him much. He’s the genius behind the words, I’m just a vessel.
