This is a partial scene from the only NaNoWriMo project I actually completed last November. Jack Wish is the main antagonist in Two Souls and a Pocket Watch, which I currently plan to publish in a hundred years time. Agnes Ditton was a hard woman to track down, not least because she now went by... Continue Reading →
I hit 50K on day 18. I celebrated with booze and cake. I really could've worked harder in the week since, but I didn't. I've clocked another 8K though, so I'm not too disappointed with myself. The problem I've had, and it's a new one for me, is that I planned to write three Victorian... Continue Reading →
This is the last of the Victorian spin-offs I have outlined for NaNoWriMo. It's a companion tale of Two Souls & a Pocket Watch, and it will feature my favourite foppish archangel, Uriel. I was twelve years old the first time I summoned a well-demon to the garden. Sitting by the well in his garden,... Continue Reading →
A short standalone story about the depths of darkness we'd endure for those we love. This is already outlined, so I'll add it to my NaNoWriMo pile in case I finish the Vic fics. *** Clio needs three things to come alive in the world to which she truly belongs: the touch of her human...

Uriel and Bel are back after Puddles, this time taking a back seat. The story is set in 1900 around the old London Dock. *** Vampire daddies... Continue Reading →

An entirely fictional person said to me, “I’ve been living under a really big rock. What the hell is this NaNoWriMo thing?” Talking... Continue Reading →
This is a partial scene from The Lion & The Wolf, a short-ish story set in 1795, based on the same lore as the Not the Same River series. It is 100% backstory. I'd written a tonne of notes about this pairing and really wanted to tell their story. I'm so glad I decided to... Continue Reading →
This is the first draft of what is currently scene 3. Context: After he is murdered, Stephen King (no, not that one) is buried for forty nights, after which he will rise a bloodborn vampire with his soul intact. Until then, his soul comes out at night to feed, and he is bombarded with memories... Continue Reading →
This is a first draft of what is currently scene 22. Context: the runaways have just spent their first night on the run in a motel room. They wake to find a man where there should be a dog. Note: a springer is someone who can boost locks just by running their hands over them.... Continue Reading →
