In my WIP The Farm, a mystery pest is feeding on the fall crops that Daeryn and his team of nocturnal predators guard. They have run down one of the furry black animals, but lost it before getting a good look. They all shifted and Jac led them a couple of hundred feet around a […]
I’m deep into edits of my WIP, The Farm, and thinking of little else, thus missed several Six Sentence Sundays. But my two machine excerpts have drawn the attention of the friend of a friend, who I understand is itching for more. Yes, I have more odd machines in the story! But first, I think […]
I remembered! Though I hesitated over whether to title this one #9 or #10. 10 won out because I have posted ten excerpts. So here I am: I even signed up early–number 90, right after my friend Eliza Knight. Go see her six, too, and other sixers here: Click!. Or take your tweeting fingers to […]
Well, I’ve forgotten my Six Sentence Sunday again this week, but attending the National Book Festival was an exciting alternative. If you hadn’t seen the advertising, the beautiful poster by Rafael Lopez is terrific. Wildlife reading! Yes! The theme graced the banners and backdrops and gazing at them was definitely a highlight of my day. […]
I totally forgot to sign up for Six Sentence Sunday! I’ve been revising my WIP, working title The Farm, so will offer up six from the opening of this YA steampunk-fantasy mash-up.

Sunday is upon us again, and so is Six Sentence Sunday! I’m continuing excerpts from my YA fantasy romance Seaside Sorcery, featuring a hotshot witch’s clashes with the winged wizards of a hidden enclave on the Scottish coast. Coral’s rival Spike is put out by her refusal to set a time to duel him and […]
I’m back again after a vacation on which my hard drive gave up the ghost. After a successful reinstall, I’m ready for more sixes from my YA fantasy romance, Seaside Sorcery. Coral weasels out of tight spot with her rival Spike, yet he may still embarrass her in front of the new guy in town. […]
Last night at Maryland Romance Writers, I sat on a YA panel with a great group of ladies, fellow YA writers Toni Picker, Stephanie Thomas and Lea Nolan. When I joined the chapter five years ago, I was the only member writing YA, now some 6-8 of us read and write the genre, so it […]
