COLD COMFORT: still researching the Tam Lin legend and its variants for my story rebuild. Watching ‘Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex’ for inspiration/ world building in the late 21st Century. Listening to Pink Floyd’s ‘Wish You Were Here’ and Duran Duran’s ‘Lonely In Your Nightmare’, as I did when I wrote the initial fanfic.
MASK OF FALLING STARS: awaiting interlibrary loan so I can re-read Joan Vinge’s THE SNOW QUEEN, since that world and plot are my inspiration for this mms.
LEOPARD’S LEAP: 2500 words. Two side characters in MORO’S PRICE work out their own issues against the backdrop of Cedar-Saba’s possible annihilation.
MORO’S SHIELD: three chapters, total 8K. I’ve outlined what I can of the rest, but I’m sure the story will surprise me along the way.
Sometime around mid-September, my erotic fantasy story ‘Saints and Heroes’ will be published in the Cleis Press anthology THRONES OF DESIRE, inspired by the ‘Game of Thrones’ books by George R.R. Martin. Here are some teaser pages from my story. WARNING: not work-safe, and very much adult. If m/m sex squicks you don’t go read. I won’t mind, honest.
Summary: A runaway husband and reluctant dom confronts the cost of avoiding destiny.
