We have a special Friday Snippet today! This one is from The Native Star, a newly released book by M.K. Hobson. I received an ARC of this book, and enjoyed it so much I asked permission to share a little snip with you, my blog readers. (This has nothing to do with the fact that [...]

I’m not here today! But I feel sorry for anyone who would expect a Friday Snippet and not get one, so here is a short section (that I just wrote) from my WIP. (Oooh, shiny! Brand new fiction! Probable typos and maybe even grammatical errors! Heh. Be gentle.) Have a great weekend everyone! “I am [...]

This week’s snippet follows off of one two snippets ago, in which we met the girl. It actually follows on that one in the same scene, without the jump to last week’s snippet in between. This is after Lindra’s been challenged by her archery tutor to prove her skill and has succeeded. Beyond that, there’s [...]

Here’s another snippet, this one going back to the bit I posted on the 9th. It’s from the beginning of a story that I’m working on at the moment, the one that was the first story I ever really worked on. Of course, this is the current iteration and not the original, over-ten-year-old one. I’m [...]

I’ll go with the frustrations first. I’m getting highly annoyed at AOL. I set up an AOL account purely for the purpose of using it for my blog e-mails, and now it’s getting shunted into spam folders when I use that account to comment on other blogs. (Some, anyway.) HIGHLY annoying. So I’m thinking of [...]

Here’s a snippet. Just because I can. This is from a fantasy story I’m working on (E1, if you want to know) and I’m enjoying it. No background is needed, really, or will be provided, because I’m considering starting the novel with this. Haven’t decided yet, but very strongly considering… Anyway, happy Friday, and enjoy! [...]

It’s April! Wow! That’s just amazing. I’m curious, how many of you were fooled by any of Google’s antics this past April 1st? I’m not sure what my favorite prank of theirs was this year. Was it the vowel outage? The Translate for Animals app on an Android phone? Or perhaps the new functionality on [...]

This has been a long week. Long, long, long. I think that I will be giving you a mash-up of things that I missed out on earlier this week due to it being such a long and difficult week. There will be a steampunk novella snippet at the end — a short one, but I [...]

Happy Friday! Here are a few stats about SPN, the steampunk novella: As of last count (Wednesday night as I was closing up my working file) there were 15,000 words in the novella. This is halfway to the MAXIMUM word count for the submission, and according to my outline, I’m not going to reach that [...]

Nope… not cutting anything. Just providing a title other than “Friday Snippet”. Without further ado, however, here is this week’s snippet! As she returned the papers she held to the stack of correspondence, a smaller sheet slid out from between the larger papers. Curiosity had nothing to do with why she picked it up. She [...]
