HeartTheft - Entire Manuscript up to Epilogue Pt.1
So, here it is. I'm super tired and I STILL haven't finished editing Pt. 2 of the epilogue, despite trying to tonight. Figured I'd post this before I fell asleep at my laptop again. Would be maybe the fourth time this week.I am in editing hell, going over and over and over everything, fine-tuning this beast. Here are the major changes so far. SPOILERS AHEAD -Chapters 23-24 have massive additions made, including extra scenes, additional dialogue, and alterations to the existing actio...

On HeartTheft
I am trying to get my final work done, last few storenvy orders packaged, and our van packed in the final days before we head out to a convention, but I really feel I need to address this novel and some of the recent reactions before I go. I'm very emotional right now, but I will do my best.First off, I want to thank everyone for your feedback, even those comments which were particularly devastating to me. I've been working on this novel for awhile now, it was in pre-production and plann...
HeartTheft Chapters 22-23
Apologies for the wait, but I wanted to be certain I posted these two chapters together, as they are easily the roughest of this book, both for me to write and to subject my readers to. Given that, I'd like to post some pretty serious trigger warnings here, while also disclosing that these warnings are the most major spoilers in the book. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say there are quite a few of you who'd rather read and not have the chapter spoiled, regardless of trigger w...

WIPs!
Some WIPs!
Folie à deux
Haven't been this happy with a piece in a long time. There are things I don't like, but... I think it's time to put my pen down on this one.This was a personal piece I did for the New Years, as a means to test my skill with a lighting style I had in mind. Can't say I NAILED it entirely, but I got closer than I thought I would. I'll push the limits with this strip lighting again in the future, I'm sure.This piece is available as a Large Format, Limited Edition Print. You c...

HeartTheft
Hi all, so very busy month, I have a sick family member and I am working on about a dozen Menagerie images, but I REALLY wanted to get an up-to-date post for HeartTheft up before I head up to NY in... literally an hour.This version of the manuscript takes us all the way up through my most recent stream reading, and as far as I have concretely written right now. There are going to be a BUNCH of new chapters in here for you all, and I'm not going to bother splitting them up this time, so scan ...
