Quick note for everybody in the Austin area. This weekend is GAB Fest: Greater Austin Book Festival presented by the Austin public library. Come celebrate all things books Central Library.
There will be many, many local authors there, including me. If you get the chance, come by and say hi. This is so big, you’re sure to find a book or two to add to that stack next to your bed. (Sorry, no copies of Midnight Wildes will be there.)
I shared a few images with you over the last months of characters in my soon-to-be-released Midnight Wildes novel. I created these images for fun, just to see if I could.
While none of the characters look the way I imaged them, they’re close enough for inspiration. When I sit down to write a scene with one of them, I look at this mood board.
You may imagine what happens when I don’t get the scene right. Those smiles fade away, and better start the rewrite fast – or else.
Meet Teaser. Meet Teaser when he’s in Vegas.This is Cobalt. He lives in Austin.Remi, Hazel, and Ruby. They love VegasOl’Sassi. She’s a Troll who knows a lot more than she says.Don’t let Jonesy’s smile fool you. He doesn’t like you.He calls himself Mr. Vegas, and he’s never missed a Wayne Newton concert.
In case you missed it: First Tattoos, a short story about the Eugenes and their experience getting their first tattoos is a free download now, but it’s going away this weekend.
Mums promised to give Eugene and Phineas each a unique tattoo. They’re thrilled, but the moon is full and bright, and someone is following them.
I hope you’re enjoying your spring. Is it as lovely where you are as it is here in central Texas? The bluebonnets are out and all the leaves are green. Unfortunately, all this loveliness means I’m sniffing, sneezing, coughing, and itching my way through the days. It’s slowing me down, but I’m not out yet.
The story I’m sharing with you today is a sort of prequel to the events of Midnight Wildes, except the events in this story happen a good twelve years before Midnight Wildes begins.
Eugene is one of my favorite characters: She complains a lot about everything, but she wouldn’t change thing, she’s ready to take on any fight, as long as the cause is true and just, and she’s very proud of her tattoos, which her Mums created.
In this short story, meet Eugene and her brother, Phineas, as they get their first tattoos while trying to figure out the whole Werewolf thing.
Mums promised to give Eugene and Phineas each a unique tattoo. They’re thrilled, but the moon is full and bright, it’s a cold, and someone is following them.
