Revisit: Runaway Characters

First posted on January 9, 2013, I like how it was creating goblin society and dryad breeding practices that stirred this topic.  Not Kira Grasdon constantly forcing me to reevaluate her path or Queen Trinity shifting further away from true … Continue reading

Teaser Tuesday: Enemies to the End

This is a scene from The Compass Key.  It’s one of my favorites because it stems from a crazy point of the original game.  I had a lot of trouble figuring out how to capture the emotions of Luke Callindor … Continue reading

Revisit: No Fun in Perfection

This was posted December 26, 2012 and I love the opening warning.  Even in my haggard state, I was able to make some sense.  Pretty sure I’ve touched on this subject a few times afterwards, but it’s funny how it … Continue reading

Poetry Day: Serum

(This is about a character I dreamt up long ago.  Haven’t figured out how to use him, but I have noticed other characters have been made with his blood powers since I first thought him up in 2000.  At least, … Continue reading

Revisit: The Next . . .

Published on December 19th, 2012, this is a very important post.  One that I wish I remembered before today since I think it holds even more true today.  We keep looking for the ‘next’ person to take the mantle of … Continue reading

Teaser Tuesday: The Debut of the Baron

This is a big scene from Allure of the Gypsies because it’s where Baron Arthuru Kernaghan makes his debut.  Having a main villain trapped in one spot for the entire series was tough, but I think I made it work.  Peppering … Continue reading
