NaNoFeed: In media res, baby: a family reunion (Inside the Jump excerpt)
For most of September and October, I was doing character interviews with the main cast of this year’s NaNo novel, Inside the Jump. Nonetheless, I was surprised at how lively they were once I started writing. So, without further ado, two cousins meet … Continue reading
Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 3 November 2013 (Inside the Jump)
“By the Fourth Prime,” the Ship’s Voice said, “that is the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen. Implosively weird. A walking hull-breach.” Jehen startled at Yasmin’s profanities. Not her usual style at all. And yes, it was weird. Genubi would make … Continue reading

NaNoFeed: Correction, it’s blue-collar multicultural space opera
Writing the closing bout of our NaNo Day 1 with the inimitable Devin Harnois at our traditional location. And it’s blue-collar multicultural space opera I’m writing, witness the following excerpt (Jehen is one of the Captains of a cybernetic starship). … Continue reading
Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 27 October 2013 (Character interview: Martisset from Inside the Jump)

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 20 October 2013 (Character interview: Yasmin from Inside the Jump)
I am the Ship, these fifteen years. I am the Ship’s-Heart, and none but my captains know that I was ever anything else. I am the same as I ever was, think the same thoughts, even dream, but the air … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 13 October 2013 (Character interview: Jehen from Inside the Jump)
My name is Jehen, and I’m in charge here–so they say, anyway. The truth of the matter is something more complicated, but then the ones planet-side don’t have the faintest idea of what happens out in space. They have the … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 6 October 2013 (Character interview: Sophie from Shape-shifter’s Tale)
My father called himself Irish but there was something else as well—something in the tilt of the cheekbones, the breadth of the nose, the wave of the hair. No one dared say it to his face, for those were fighting … Continue reading

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 29 September (Character interview: Sophie from Shape-shifter’s Tale)

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 22 September (Character interview: Sophie from Shape-shifter’s Tale)

Weekend Writing Warriors: Sunday 15 September (Character interview: Sophie from Shape-shifter’s Tale)
My name is Sophie. In all of the worlds I know, I am one of three children. There is me, and there is Helen, and then Francis Patrick. We were all born in the teens of the century, … the … Continue reading
