Constant Book 5, Chapter 13: Forcefem, v2

I don't often go back and rewrite quite this extensively, but I really wasn't satisfied with the way this chapter turned out. I'm still not entirely pleased with it, but at some point, I g...

Gosh, editing is hard. Clearly, I'm over-thinking things. As is often the case, word count for the week does't reflect the actual quantity written a...

I spent last weekend at my (now annual?) mini-break, my so-called "writer's retreat" in a cheap AirBnB down on the Sussex coast, in this case quite ...

Constant 5, Chapter 14: I Did My Best, part 1 (draft)

Chapter fourteen, the conclusion to book 5, has grown a little beyond expectations so for now I'm splitting it in two. I should have part two ready for you by the end of the week. Enjoy! As always,...

Real-life work continues to rather selfishlessly intrude on my dreams of writing super-stardom, but at least after much consternation and writing-bl...

Oof, what a week! 14-hour day at work, and other distractions - specifically, rats crawling up the drain and chewing their way i...

Constant 5, Chapter 13: Forcefem (draft)

I really struggled with this chapter. The initial pass went very well, the first half emerging in a single sitting. Then I decided to insert the dialogue with Quinn, and that took a lot longer than...

Art by Fraylim: Wedding Night

I love this one (but then again, I love all of Fraylim's work.) Not every piece Fraylim's done corresponds directly to a written scene--though it's very easy to imagine this particular bridal outfi...

A weekend of editing chapters 11 and 12 led into a tumultuous week of real-world stresses, and consequently a lack...

Book 5, Chapter 12: This Girl, Myself

Well, Patreon apparently didn't like chapter 12, and took it down and hid it.

I've gone back and made some edits, and here it is once again - now in .pdf and .epub formats. Enjoy!

(Written on the 1st, posted on the 2nd.)

Apologies for the overdue update.

Every summer, I travel home to catch up with family and a few friends. Canadian by birth, I now live in the UK...

Art by Fraylim: Cindy On the Hunt

After a short break, I'm back writing. The next chapter takes its inspiration from two sources: first, this fantastic piece Fraylim did recently; and two, Chapter 16 of Stephen King's novel Billy S...

Writing Update: 02-08-25

Apologies, again, for the delayed or missed update.

So, the summer tends to be a tricky time for me and writing. In the past, I've just written it off: last year, I shuttered the Patreon fo...

Constant 5, Chapter 10 (Draft)

Apologies for the missing update last Friday - an intense cold floored me for a few days (and seems to be returning), and then I went camping for a few days.

Chapter 10 took a lot longer than...

Obviously, those numbers aren't quite accurate. I wrote a solid 4k words last week, but with publishing the latest chapter, I also deleted al...

Cutting Room Floor: Book 5

During the writing of a chapter, there's all sorts of text that ultimately gets cut and discarded. Sometimes just a line here or there, occasional paragraphs, sometimes much longer passages as I he...

Trouble with posting Chapter 9

Patreon's automated checking service has twice now taken down and hidden the recently posted chapter 9. It's been flagged for "teen safety" which is baffling, as there aren't any teenaged character...

Art by Fraylim: A Girl's Night In

Cindy's looking a little anxious there, don't you think? It might be the strain of fitting in with "the girls" on a Friday night. Another lovely piece of art by Fraylim, accompanying the next chapt...

Happy Fourth of July!

Truly, Cindy is a girl of many nations, but I choose to believe that in her heart-of-hearts she yearns for the maple syrup and poutine of Canada. It may be July 4th but Fraylim...

Constant, Book 5: Chapter 8 (Draft)

Feels like I'm on a bit of a roll this month, pushing out nearly a chapter a week. This one completes the 'Jonas' arc. Book 5 currently sits at 71k words. I've got a few more chapters planned for t...

Happy (Belated) Canada Day!

Yes, I'm a day late. Apologies - very busy day yesterday. Still, seems the perfect opportunity to repost this picture by Fraylim from last year. I hope your day was full of maple syrup, those funny...
