This is my first post for the alphabet blogging challenge: a scene from my novel The Alchemist. For each of these excerpts I’ll be picking a scene from the novel and writing or rewriting it to share with you. I wish I had an excerpt for every day, but unfortunately I don’t have novels with titles for every letter of the alphabet. (Someday.) Anyway, I hope you enjoy the scene. :) Continue reading “A: The Alchemist”

Character Interview: Alastair Caverly
At the beginning of The Shadow Raven, Alastair is Nissa‘s boss.

But then I ended up started on a rewrite of my novel The Masked Captain, which I’d only written about a chapter and a half of to begin with, so here’s the beginning of that. Enjoy. (And I’ll try to write more in the coming weeks.) Continue reading “Snippet Sunday – Clandestine Reading (from The Masked Captain)”
