The heroine is racing to the park to stop the duel. Will she make it in time? Will her brother survive? This is an action packed scene with bullets flying, horses racing and oh my, I forgot how awkward and accident prone our heroine is. Will she survive the race to the park? Can she avoid the phaetons and other transportation devices that might get […]

I’m looking for some inspiration here. I’m sure the fae folk will give it to me once I start writing. The duel is about to take place. Ah–questions, how will the faeries interfere? Will there be trickery? Will the antagonist turn at 10 paces or will he cheat? On another note, I’m looking forward to the phone call from my daughter. She is off to […]

What will happen this morning when there will be duels at dawn? Will the hero and the heroine survive? Will they ever get that first kiss? Will the hero see his love before the duel or will he never see her again? Will they ever find out what the feud tearing apart their families is? I certainly expect they will. An excerpt of The Wager […]

I’m looking for ideas: What is this feud all about? Could it be something so little as one family getting the last package of corned beef? Or could it be something more meaningful more horrible? Ah, but faeries are involved, the little mischief makers, so it can’t be all bad. Buy Allura at Awe-struck. Look for Forever His coming out in December at Rogue Phoenix […]

I actually wrote yesterday. Not a lot but I put word to paper which gives me a starting point today. As usual, the characters changed the plot line of the story and now I have some follow up and revising. Duels vs. fights, one is legal the other is not. Oh, my will the faieries fight a dual, a dual of curses and blessings, maybe […]

Let’s try this a second time. Computers, we love them and we hate them. I was hunting for a title of a book and the computer froze. So everything I wrote vanished in a twinkle of an eye. Chapter 4–oh what a turning point the faeries have in store for the humans. It will keep you speeding through the pages to see what will happen […]

Should they share the kiss? Is this the first big turning point in the story? Turning points–I believe there should be a turning point in every scene leading up to the dark moment. Turning points make the story interesting and they keep the pages moving. Should they not share the kiss? What pagan faerie will get in the way of the kiss? Oh, so many […]

Kiss the girl, Kiss the girl, Kiss the girl. What do you all think? If the fae folk whisper kiss the girl in the heroe’s ear, do you think he will kiss her? That remains to be seen. I didn’t get much writing done yesterday. I went to see The Half Blood Prince. Saw lots of death eaters and magicians but not a lot of […]

I have always loved to write villians into my stories. Antagonists are fun and they let the inner demon go unchecked. The two evil fae folk, and they really aren’t that evil, they just like pranks and mischief more than most, are Conn and Carey. Conn has the task of seeing the arrogant and very pompous Florence marries our heroine. But he is bedeviled at […]

Faeries, faeries everywhere. The Fae people are taking over my life! They are playing tricks and writing my anthology, putting thoughts in my head. But they are so much fun. I’m introducing Moya and Oran (the good faeries) into my story. They are fairy godmother and fairy godfather to the heroine and hero in the St. Patrick’s Day anthology I’m writing with Genene Valleau and […]
