  1. #PennedPossibilities 1147: How does your SC feel about those around them?

    Damir cares about his friends, even if he never says the words aloud. Rather, he shows it, instead. As for everyone else around him, he couldn’t give less of a shit. He usually seems emotionless, unfazed, and cold to most. People assume this of necromancers. Some, meaning the special individuals and the sort who genuinely care about others, they can see the heart inside of him, the one he keeps hidden away. Damir does feel. He feels deeply.

  5. #WritersCoffeeClub #WCC 2026.10.03 3/3— How do you feel about spoilers?

    Oddly enough, on Mastodon I leak quite a few. Spoilers. Of my own work. I want to be clear about that, but here's the realization: By the time the main stories publish I expect readers will have forgotten the details†. I'm no brand name. I'd rather provide content, take the time revising excerpts and creating mildly spoilery bits to test the waters, look for reactions, and tune the presentation to migrate details back to the novel. It's working so far.

    You wanna lose a friend? Unsolicited tell me how a book ends, or a movie—predictions and deductions are okay for a shared viewing only. I never watch the previews, ever.

  17. #WritersCoffeeClub 2. Do you have plans for your next work yet?

    I should really be getting back to working on book 7 of my ongoing urban fantasy series, The Wheel of the Year sequence.

    On the other hand, it would be good to finish writing my collection of short stories, Tales From the Demi-monde, as I don’t think I’m going to be comfortable leaving it unfinished even though I’ve got at least four months’ worth of stories in reserve.

    There’s always a worry that something could occur which would interrupt my schedule and I’d hate to be forced to miss publishing them online on my website as planned.

    So, I think that’s decided, finish the short stories before picking up where I left of with book 7.

    That’s what happens when you commit yourself to doing a serialisation…

  25. #PhantastikPrompts 10/3: Have you read a novel (not a non-fiction book) from which you learned something new about writing? Which one is it and what have you learned?

    Random, maybe, but I'll give this example: I learned how to write OCD and intrusive thoughts in a way that reflects both the supernatural and how to address the topic in the early 1900s from Kaylie Smith's Phantasma. It's Book 1 of the Wicked Games Series. She's also a friend of mine. And to be honest, it helped me to understand my OCD better as well, including unwanted, recurring, and intrusive thoughts, which was the biggest takeaway of all.

  33. #ScribesAndMakers 10/3: Is there a common thread throughout your creative work?

    Yes, I enjoy and write many different genres, and I might also be a romance author as well, but nothing comes without healing from trauma, recovering from the strife of life's struggles, and we'll always have strong female characters who can stand on their own (which everyone is or becomes well aware of). And of course, there will forever be "found family" dynamics sprinkled on top. Those things remain the same throughout my body of work. I'm proud of that. I don't just write generic, everyday romance. Instead, I write stories that feature romance, and there's a big difference.

    Women, women, women, and the strength of them. And I do mean that in every single way it can possibly be taken. Emotional, mental, and physical. Give me happy endings with angst, struggle, and healing throughout. We need more of that in our world today.

  37. #ScribesAndMakers 30.09. What was the last song you listened to?

    Belated post

    These days I don’t listen to music that much except for when I’m driving.

    I tend to favour Jazz FM for that, even though it’s questionable whether some of the stuff they play actually counts as jazz.

    Listened to a couple of cracking tracks yesterday, Every Day (I Have The Blues) from Count Basie & Joe Williams and Birdland from Weather report.

  41. #WritersCoffeeClub Oct 3: How do you feel about spoilers?

    I’m not sure I should say.

    I don’t think I should give anything away at this stage.

    Perhaps you’d be better off waiting until the book’s published…
