Kickstarter

No, not for me. I don't often put these on this journal but, selfishly, I want to read these stories.

Laura Anne Gilman is kickstarting two new stories in her Cosa Nostradamus universe.

In her words:
THE WORK OF HUNTERS and AN INTERRUPTED CRY follow the adventures of PI Danny Hendrickson (human mother, faun father, 100% Attitude) and his partner/assistant/student Ellen, a human with magic she doesn't understand and can't contain. As private investigators, they work the space between the magical and the Null world, where people can - and do - get lost...

In my words:
Danny and Shadow (aka Ellen) are a great team. They aren't perfect (and wouldn't it be boring if they were) but both are willing to risk everything to save lives and help. You want magic, sardonic humour and great stories? You've come to the right place.

If you have a few dollars to spare, please consider backing this. The funding period ends February 14th. Wouldn't a successful Kickstarter be a great Valentine's gift for the author?

Submission Update

I received a rejection for January's submission. Still have February's out there and am readying March's to go near the first of the month.

February 3

My writing partner (and Alpha reader) and I haven't been writing together. Some of that is because she lives 2 time zones away. Some of it is that life gets in the way. I miss doing it and asked her about it.

We are going to write, at the some time, two evenings a week and possibly some weekends. Tonight was the first session. She is editing and I found music and wrote one scene and began another.

Title: Chaos Unleashed
Words Total:36,265
Words Today:426
Reason for stopping: It's Monday and I have to go to the office tomorrow
Music: Red - Shadows

February 1

I'm still waiting to hear on the January submission. The market closes today, so I'll likely hear within the next month.

I just sent February's submission. According to the market information, I'll hear by the end of March.

If nothing else, publishing teaches you patience.
