  1. Fanged and Fabulous by Gemma Cates

    “Cates crafts an—as the name of the series implies—almost human version of the vampire species that is interesting in itself, then uses it to explore how it is often not the large or obvious differences that get in the way of two people building a relationship.”

  4. #WordWeavers 9/1: What is something your MC desperately wants but would never admit to wanting?

    For Alistair, it's Fenella. And peace. He would never willingly admit to either of those things. He just isn't that sort of man.

  5. #PennedPossibilities 1115: What sounds or smells remind your MC of their childhood?

    Let’s talk about Alistair for this one. The smell of baked goods in the kitchen. Tobacco and pipe smoke as well. The sounds of laughter. The sound of a woman whistling or singing (like his mother used to). The sounds of joy, honestly.

  6. #EroticMusings 66: How would your characters feel about how eroticism is perceived in your culture?

    It's the tail end of the Victorian era. The mortals (AKA humans) would all feel scandalized. They would probably be disgusted. The immortals, on the other hand, would love it and feel right at home. As you can tell, they're vastly different.

  7. #WordWeavers 8/30: If you could interview one of your characters over coffee, what would be the first question you asked?

    It might just be Fenella. I would ask her this: "If you still loved him and suspected that he felt the same way, then why did you ever think that leaving would make either of you feel better in the long run? Or that it would somehow change him?" But here's the thing... I understand why she left. She had to. She couldn't change him, and by leaving she got herself out of a situation that was slowly breaking her heart. It would be moot. In the end, I probably wouldn't be able to say or ask anything.

  8. #WordWeavers 8/27: Which character would win a trivia contest?

    Fenella and Alistair would win if they worked as a *team* for a trivia contest. They both know so much about life. If I go into detail and explain anything about their lives and what they've learned over the years, I might just reveal some spoilers, but there we are.

  9. #WordWeavers 8/25: If readers could keep one item from your story as a souvenir, what would it be?

    I love this prompt. It really has me thinking right now...

    Perhaps a book. One of Alistair's tales. Either that, or a living, breathing moth. 😋

  10. #PennedPossibilities 1112: MC or SC POV: Can you tell us about the last time you laughed? What about when you cried?

    Fenella: I’m sure I laughed at something Alistair said, to be fair. And as for crying, that might very well have been from a comment he made as well. Not at me, of course, he would never hurt me, but he often rips my heart to shreds without realizing it — just by mentioning our past, what we’ve endured or what we had together. I miss him dearly. And I wonder if he feels the same way. On occasion, he’ll look at me a certain way and I’ll be left wondering.

  11. #PennedPossibilities 1110: What is your antagonist good at hiding about themselves? What are they bad at hiding?

    Let’s talk about Duncan. He’s good at hiding how… possessive he can be at times. Things become a game to him. It’s all about the hunt. Fenella has become his current objective. What is he bad at hiding, though? How ruthless he usually is.

  12. #PennedPossibilities 1109: What question does your MC long to find an answer for? What answer do they hope for, and which one would they fear?

    As we found out already in one of the previously posted chapters, Fenella enjoys researching vampires. She only knows bits and pieces of their lore. Alternatively, as she gets to know Hati, the woman reveals the origins of wolves (AKA werewolves) to her. Viking mythology isn’t just mythology. It’s history. It’s true. Fenella wishes she knew this much about her own people. Perhaps one day she’ll find the answers she seeks. Maybe the Eddas are a good place to start. I would go so far as to say that I’m not entirely sure what answer she’s hoping for and which one would frighten her, only because she doesn’t know where to begin.

    (I had hoped to write more for this one, but I really don't feel well today. That’s okay, though.)

  19. Do vampires use social media? Is it a way of finding victims? What would a vampire's profile look like? Do they show up in digital photos? What would they look like?

    You should be very careful about meeting up with people who use oil paintings as their profile pictures. I would be particularly concerned if they want to meet up after dark.

    Is this addressed at all in modern vampire fiction? I’d imagine it has been, but I haven’t encountered it.

  20. #PennedPossibilities 796 — Have you had to cut anything significant from your WIP? (Either for plot, cleanliness, redundancy, over explanation, or pace and literary effect.)

    Yes, I have. I’ve had to focus on smaller-scale cutting: certain sentences, phrases, words, etc. What an enormous sharpening effect judicious cutting has had on the story, and hopefully on the readers as well. And also, like the prompt suggests, I made changes for redundancy, plot, over explanation, cleanliness, pace and literary effect. It cleaned things up quite a bit, and I’ve been feeling rather proud of the finished product (for now). It made a huge difference.

    I’ve been working on that for #TheCityOfOpulence as well, a part of the #DigitalDystopia series. Nothing *gigantic* for the plot has been changed, though.

  21. #WritersCoffeeClub 12.27 —#Writing If you write in more than one genre, which is your go-to?

    My def go-to is #yuri except for a few micro or flash pieces everything deals with the relationship between one or more women.

    (For anyone who might not know yuri is a sub-genre of #romance / #SapphicRomance that incorporates Japanese tropes rather than Western ones.)

    I blend my yuri with varying degrees with:

    #Paranormal #ParanormalRomance #Sapphic
    #Horror #PsychologicalHorror
    #Creepypasta
    #JapaneseMythology
    #SliceOfLife #Iyashikei

    While I no longer try and predict the future, it seems unlikely I will write outside the yuri genre.

  22. If you're a fan of dark romance and vigilante heroines with a morbid sense of humor, then my #vella is the one for you 😍
