Mistletoe Madness Blog Hop!
Just a heads up that I’ll be participating in the Mistletoe Madness Blog Hop coming up in the next week. Be sure to check back in a few days for a chance to win some great BoD/SoS swag from me…as well as a chance to win the grand prize of a brand new Nook, pre-loaded with some fabulous books from some great authors! Also, I’m over at Vampire Books today for a little Q&A session. 😀…

The Last Leg
I’m in the last bits of the A Trace of Moonlight draft. 85k written – about another 15k to go. Though really, 100k is just the ballpark figure. A little more, a little less – it doesn’t really matter. I’ll be fleshing things out quite a bit as I restructure part of the plot, so I don’t worry about final counts until I’ve got something I’m actually happy with. I think the final word count for A Brush of Darkness was 102k when it went to print…A Sliver of Shadow exploded to about 117k at one point, but I narrowed it down to 110k at the end. (And I’d say the standard UF/PNR usually runs 90k to 120k for trad publishing. Epic fantasy can be longer, but it’s also harder to break into if a publisher doesn’t want to spend the extra print money.) When it comes down to it,…

A Sliver of Shadow Trading Cards!
Okay – the next set of trading card designs have been finalized and here they are!

Characters are as follows: Moira, Nobu, Talivar and Brystion (in human form) Artwork created by the fabulous Darchala!…

Everything in my back hurts today, so I’m not feeling much like blogging or joining in the holiday spirit of things. Here’s Tumbleweed not cooperating as I attempt to take a picture of her in a sleigh. I’m doing a blog hop contest starting next week – I’ll throw up some more details about that soon. (I’ll be hosting my portion of it on my official author site). However, part of the giveaway is a stuffed hedgehog. Alas that Tumbleweed refused to really want to be part of the promo shots… (This is her: “I’m going to crawl into your bed tonight and shank you” look.) A melding of minds, perhaps. You can see that the stuffed hedgehog is nearly actual size. 😀 But with far less prickle to go around… (Tumbleweed is unimpressed. Though she *did* lick its nose.)…
