I'm almost done with the editing phase of both Planting Life AND Last Lady of Lună. Which means it's time to pick my next project.

The two I'm thinking of finishing next are The Bargain, and the sequel to Last Lady of Lună

The Bargain is fully written and been through a couple rounds of editing. The Bargain is a kinky found-family maybe-romance about trust, self acceptance, and getting over yourself. Sometimes what starts as a Bargain, becomes something more.

The L3 sequel will be (another) slow burn vampire why choose romance, with FF, MM, MFF, and more. Nastasia and her mates are finally working together, but her enemies and her clan have found them, and there's no saying which is more dangerous.

If either of those sound interesting, I'm throwing up a followers-only post in the reply, let me know which you want to see!

Apropos of age verification in the UK & US…it's a great time to re-read Dave Langford's 2000 short story "Different Kinds of Darkness".

It's a sequel to his 1988 short story "BLIT", about a kind of black-and-white image that basically crashes your brain. (This came out before Snow Crash!) Naturally, they get used by terrorists.

In DKoD, classroom and school bus windows are blacked out to keep schoolchildren from accidentally seeing BLITs. But you can't hide everything…

P. S. when I first saw a QR code, my first thought was BLITs.

It's the last few days of the Smashwords Summer/Winter sale, and most of my stories are on sale -- a few are free!

If you like queer fiction and challenging tropes, you'll probably like my stuff.

Check it out while there's still time!

#WordWeavers 7.26 — Do you have any fight scenes in your work? What are they like?

In a genre like cyberpunk, they're inevitable.

There are so many things to choose from. Here's one example, though, if you're curious.

#WordWeavers 7.25 — Who’s the hardest character you’ve ever written and why?

This is a /really/ good question.

My most difficult character at the moment, by far, is Noona from the series. I can't quite see her in my mind, you know? The face hasn't come to me yet. I'm trying to get a handle on her, only because she was never fleshed out (only the personality and backstory in my mind), and it's giving me some trouble. It'll come to me, though. These things just take time.
