a snippet, a snippet for the hounds...

“Perhaps indeed I was, and perhaps I wasn’t and what’s dead to the wind and bones?” He spoke lightly, but there was a deepness to it that Izzy felt, the way she thought she’d feel loneliness or sorrow, an ache that stretched from her mouth to her ribs, a twisting line of darkness, hard and hollow.


Occasionally, this book fucking guts me. Those are the good writing days.


Averaging about 10k/week on this, and another 5K/week on the 4th Gin & Tonic. I'd like to do more, but then I'd be falling behind on other (editorial-ish) deadlines, and that's a no-go.  Still, if I can keep this up reasonably well, the deadlines will come at an easy trot, not a mad, heart-thumping dash.

That would be a nice change.

That's lovely.

Thanks. :-) I thought so too.

(I'm getting very shy of sharing snippets, because when nobody praises I start to second-guess myself and that way lies never finishing the manuscript...so thank you.)

Makes me want to read more. ... What is this a snippet from?

Silver on the Road (tentative title) as discussed here

Oh... I have to wait. :P

Alas. This isn't a book I can hammer out in 3-4 months...
