The lights are out. The bar feels…different. Angela conducts the infamous shifty-eyed inspection: left, right, left. Bergen is nowhere in sight, but the tension weighs too heavily on her shoulders. Something is most definitely up. She takes one step, and the 240-pound Viking prince plow-drives the writer to the floor and all goes dark. […]
“I have an announcement!” Bergen says.
Announcing the writing of Bergen’s own series because his ego is too large to fit in my 160,000 word fantasy.
Agent Update
I just received this update from Agent X. Hi Angela, Thanks so much for your patience and for sharing DOLOR AND SHADOW with me. I just got a chance to take a peek. Although I love the concept and think your authorial voice serves the adult fantasy audience very well, I’m just not connecting […]
Outlines and Word Counts and Nerves
I heard back from another agent who requested the outline and the first 50 pages of the manuscript. Now, I know I need an outline and, when I built my book package back in August, I included an outline. But a little nagging voice kept digging at me on whether or not what I had […]
Happy news!
Wahooo! Another agent asked to see more of my work! Wahoooo! So excited! Must focus!
The Princess Bride Factor
I am often asked what genre Tales of the Drui is. This question must be one of the hardest I have ever had to answer regarding my story. When I wrote Tales of the Drui, every scene, every word, was selected with the 35-year-old male fantasy reader in mind. This was my demographic. Unfortunately, the […]
Goodreads post
So…this is the Goodreads post I wrote for my little sister. Once upon a time, my mother realized she wasn’t happy with me. And so Nikki arrived. Nikki didn’t say much at first. She screamed a lot and wore large, bulbous pants held together with pins. Many years passed before she finally decided to […]
New idea…
I just wrote this as it came to me. Will probably use it for Book 3, The Poet’s Prose. Or Maybe book 4 (unnamed). I’m curious to see where it goes from here. “I’m angry! And I hate…but I don’t know who to hate! I have a part of me that wants to kill…to avenge […]
Beginning Book Three…
So…I’m blogging this Autumn afternoon because I am having a hard time pulling away from the Social Media to submerge myself into Bergen’s world. What’s worse, is I know what awaits Bergen…and I don’t want to go there. But I must… Another part of me wonders if I can redo what I just did. But […]
Update
Just one more random thought… I seem to be filled with those lately. I’m a writer, a musician, a dancer…(there’s a song in there somewhere), and now I am a novice amateur blogger and web designer. Not really. Don’t misunderstand. I am tech savvy. But I, by no means, have ever studied web design. […]
