New Patreon bonus scene! Deleted from Endless Sea of Stars, I still love this scene, and I wish I could have found a place for it in the book. Good thing I can share it with you on Patreon!

First side done! I'm knitting Heated Rivalry into it. Seriously, I think I've watched it a dozen times while knitting on this beautiful pattern with this beautiful yarn. Not *boring* at all!

Okay, this totally breaks my rule where the second book in the series had fewer tropes. Almost filled the whole card! If Kharon had played the piano or if you count Augustus carrying Alexis to safety while she's collapsed as kidnapping... lol!

Obviously, it looks like a crumpled mess---it's lace, after all. But it's going to be so pretty when it's done!

No matter how many books I outline, I still love the notecarding process that I learned from Holly Lisle back in... *checks notes*... 2010. *Checks notes again*. Yep.

Warning! Don't try to read the handwriting unless you want *all* of A Bond of Armour and Artfulness spoiled for you! (But lets be real: the final book won't follow the outline, lol!)
My outlining process has come so far since this time last year!

No bingo, but not surprised as this is the second book in a trilogy---nope, I can't even pretend that I'm ok right now!! That ending, with two weeks on my library hold for the third book! I will expire prior to it coming up: I can't live with this suspense!

Planning has begun for Syphon Bound, book 2! This is my first conversation with the MCs, Dayma and Blaise. They are always a little different than I expect when I actually get around to talking to them!

I can't stop coming up with more crew for Jeanie and Liam to pick up like stray little puppies on their new ship! This scene would be from the middle of a book, so beware there's no HEA at the end of the scene (there will be if I ever write their book!)

Marketing plans for last year versus this year. You might also notice that last year, they were not marketing plans, but a grant application schedule. (Which is a very real reflection of the amount of marketing I did last year.)

24 hours alone with my draft in the airbnb, and I've taken over the entire dining table. What can I say? I'm a wild one.

Of course, after I knit the swatch, I totally changed patterns. Here's the start of a Sweetgrass Cocoon by @bristolivy.bsky.social modelled by sleepy Ben. As soon as I pulled this out, I was inundated with cats.

My wonderful sister got this for me last year, and I used it all year long, so I coughed up for this year's version.
I love thinking of my writing business as a handcrafting business. I spend so long handcrafting every word of my books, it doesn't matter that I'm not gluing the pages together!
