Mailbox Fu, The Sequel

And the mailbox revealed: “Stand and Deliver: Tales of Irish Highwaymen.” No Plunkett and Macleane, though. Still trying to decide whether or not to cut the scene where Will Barber explains to Phillipe about the Amantia del Mar. Watch for it in the excerpts. If it shows up there, you’ll… Continue reading

Blog Software

I just found out that iBlog has become BlogWorkz to avoid any confusion with the other iBlog out there which produces rather dull looking blogs all to the same template. (Tried to hook up this place to their webring and discovered, much to my surprise, that the program name had… Continue reading

That stands to reason, but there is a highwayman couple mentioned, although, again, not quite up to ‘Than and Derian. And there are more complete stories for… Continue reading

Worth 50,000 Words?

Pop the cork and pour the champagne already! We have 50,000 words in In Sanguine. Granted, most of them will be replaced in the next round of the editing machete, but 50,000 words! It means that there may be hope. Maybe. I actually had the full thread of a story… Continue reading
