Since there is no Lokaday
I will have to post this on a Thursday. Slightly embarrassing though it is, here is an excerpt of the first ever novel I actually finished. I hit on the cunning plan of telling lots of short stories – because I knew I could finish a short story – and then linking them together to…

Fallen off the internet
I think it’s a result of having finished Under the Hill and sent it off on its first stage in the submissions process, but last week I found myself wanting to do anything but write. Or at least, I wanted to write fanfiction just to please myself rather than writing anything that could be vaguely…

The solution to all my ebook problems
One of the better things since sliced bread, is Calibre, which I downloaded for free this morning. I wanted to send The Witch’s Boy to a reviewer, but he only accepted .epub files, and WB only came in .pdf or .mobi format. Now, thanks to the magic of Calibre, I can just convert my .mobi…

Witch's Boy big giveaway (with caveat)
I really meant to have some sort of launch event for this, and then it turned out to be the week of the Livejournal DDOS attacks. Most of the people who comment on my posts do so on Livejournal, so I felt that doing anything while it was down was not a good time. Then,…

Multiple causes of squee
First of all, I was summoned to the door this morning and handed a great big box I had not been expecting at all. And lo! When I opened it, there were my author’s copies of Shining in the Sun in print: It’s such a great moment when you can hold your book in your…

I love it when a plan comes together
I haven’t been well today, so instead of writing I have been brainstorming, which involves less shutting myself in an unappealing spare room while hammering at a keyboard, and more sitting in a sunny lounge with a cup of tea and a blank notebook. One of the most magical things about the writing process for…
