Incompatible, Live!

Wonderful, fantastic news :)

THE THUNDERSTORM (Krakakow!), release 3 is now LIVE! "Incompatible" (formerly known as "Roadtrap") is ready on Amazon and soon B&N.



Loving someone means accepting them as they are... and all the crazy they carry with them.

When lovestruck Matt springs himself as Valerie's second in a visit to her parents, he realizes he may never have known her, after all...

This is a short story, approximately 3,500 words.

THE THUNDERSTORM, Reveal #3!

Well, if you missed it, I've already revealed and released Disappear and Hooded.

They can also be found on Nook: Disappear and Hooded.

Maybe you want to check them out? Maybe you're not into shorts. Hopefully that's not the case because this next is also a short, though quite the creepy one... It will be releasing next week :)

Brace yourselves, for Incompatible...

THE THUNDERSTORM, Reveal #2!

Well would you look at that? Just look at it!

Very, very cool cover for one of my favorite shorts! I'm really proud of this piece ("Hooded"). We're going to upload it today so it should be available soon :)

In the meantime, THE THUNDERSTORM (Krakakow!) Release #1, Disappear is available :) Check it out? (Link in the sidebar as well!)

THE THUNDERSTORM, Reveal #1!

I know I've been quiet on the blog front recently - trust me, my fingers are tiny nubs from all the tapping on my keyboard I've been doing.

But you know what's coming? If you guessed THE THUNDERSTORM (Krakakow!)... you're right! You can pick up your collapsible flannel bicycle at the front desk. But before you attempt to ride it home, feast your eyes on the first cover reveal...

All thanks and praise to my indefatigable, insatiable, independent cover artist, Jeroen ten Berge!

November, Day 4

So I got a bug up my bum today and decided I wanted to write another short for THE THUNDERSTORM (Krakakow!) I had two major reasons for wanting to write this story.

1. I've been thinking of it for a long time.

2. I needed to work in a different genre than "Youth", at least for a little while! I think my day break on that piece will be good, because I still wrote :)

Thusly, Roadtrap was born.

Writing for today: 3,474 words!

The March Continues

Another productive day for THE THUNDERSTORM! (Krakakow!)

"Youth" is blazing through my heart and my keyboard as probably the saddest story I have ever written. But, the more I write, the more I feel like this story needs to be told. Watching it unfold makes me shiver - I really hope the readers feel what I'm feeling when it's finished.

The funny thing is, sandwiching each chapter I've been watching old episodes of Roseanne to keep my spirits up :P

So far today, 2 chapters of "Youth" in. We'll see if I can pick myself up (fighting off a throat infection) and get anymore written before I head to bed.

...

KRAKAKOW!

The Flip(ping Out) Side

Everyday I'm putting in time on THE THUNDERSTORM (Krakakow!). Something, anything I'm working on for that project, has to get some words, some story, some attention and care.

Today I started the opening chapter of "Youth".

And I am flipping out.

While I was writing, I had that tingly nervous excitement coursing through my veins, fueling me in an addiction-like madness. I type 90 words a minute or better. My fingers thundered across the keys. Characters and life took shape, molded by my word choice. Ideas bloomed, my heart spoke.

"Youth" was started.

This is going to be freaking awesome!

KRAKAKOW!

THE THUNDERSTORM, Part 2

I'm going over some work in preparation for THE THUNDERSTORM. (I laugh every time I type that, like it's being announced in a wrestling ring.)

Dates are not of a concern to me, yet. I'm aiming to finish the pieces, first ;)

So far, here is what is releasing (during THE THUNDERSTORM, hahaha!)

Short: Disappear, 2895
Short: Hooded, 2524

I went back over "Hooded" today, and honestly, it's one of my favorite stories that I've ever written. Am I aloud to say that? I just did. Something about the style, there, that speaks to me. I'm not sure others will agree with me. In going over it, I added about 100 words. Now it feels "really" done. (Part of the reason I haven't previously published it was it felt slightly unfinished.)

For myself, seeing "Hooded" completed makes me feel like I've grown as a writer :) (Am I aloud to say that?!?)

THE THUNDERSTORM!! *Krakakow!*
