Updates!

So, first up, a warning. Alas, my day job is going HYPER OH MY GOD CONFERENCE IN THREE WEEKS OH MY GOD PANIC mode. By which I mean, that's me, while my boss and everyone else goes, 'it's cool, no worries, it'll work out.' I don't have my test environment! My person hasn't even done a practice because we don't have a test environment!!!!

Um.

What this means is that I'm working the day job a lot the next two point five weeks and therefore will be even more absent and scatterbrained and weird. (That's the warning. :3) Feel free to pester me into submission if I manage to accidentally ignore you.

Writing things!

LT3 released Bad Moon Rising yesterday. Today. Recently. What's today? Um, but I have a short story in this anthology, called The Were Curse, and I may have mentioned it. ^__^ It's werewolves with a magical spell origin! Also, Megan has totally promised to write Dominic's story, so you should all pester her for that. /going to get dead



I'm pretty sure I mentioned Bestiary recently, but here is the link to the product page for reference.

I have also finished my Kiss Me at Midnight story. It's ridiculous and awesome.

Megan totes roped me into writing a Halloween rentboy story, too, by which I mean she came up with the idea and didn't even hint I should do it b/c she didn't want me to stress b/c she's nice like that. I had so much goddamn trouble coming up with an idea that stuck, that I almost gave up. Seriously, started like SIX stories, all of them boring and cliche and boring and one that was a repeat (almost identical) to the KMAM story. It was tragic. Then I thought of a vague idea on Monday and managed to write 4k on it and IDK what's going on, but it's working so I'm going with it. ^__^

Elsewise, on my list is a rockstar story for Rocking Hard, a fantasy story for If You're Reading This ..., Stolen Hearts Part Two (tentatively titled "Heart Repair"), a silly superhero story, the sequel and prequel to Playing with Shadows, and a fairy tale remake of Snow White. Because I'm not enough of a headless chicken as is. ^__~

Post subjects always stump me

So, way, way, way back in LT3's very first anthology (That Famous Happy End), I wrote a story about an IT geek and his vampire QA tech. Said vampire QA tech had a snarky, assholish older brother. Said snarky, assholish older brother was promptly claimed by Megan (or uh, shoved at her when she said he should have a story). She wrote his story for our the Bad Moon Rising anthology.

She also wrote a drabble for him that she can now post 'cause her Bad Moon Rising story is done its serial run. ^__^ It is here, and you should check it out.

Bestiary! It's coming soon! I have a lovely little short story that's totally over the top adorable in it. This is a link to the Goodreads page, because I'm still working on getting them up on the LT3 site. There's 19 of them! Which is equal parts \o/ and /o\

The charms and elixirs crafted by the fae are highly prized and notoriously difficult to obtain. The fae charms Fihr sells at his stall are lucrative business, but he would happily throw it all away to have a chance with Satu, the beautiful faerie who makes the charms. When he catches Satu trying to run away, terrified of his betrothed, Fihr throws all caution aside, determined to help Satu no matter what it takes.

Megan commissioned awesome awesome internal images and done up some lovely covers as well. ^__^ Seriously, this collection is going to be awesome.

KMAM

So, aside from plague (viral bronchitis, yay! they gave me hydrocodone to kill it o_O;;), I have been working on my story for LT3's Kiss Me at Midnight anthology, for which the deadline is the end of the month. It's a cute little story about a mage and a thief who is trying to steal from said mage, but neither of them has the motivation the other suspects. ^__^
