Dabbler in many speculative worlds. Blurring the borders between genre and crafts salient lies to tell a measure of truth. My work has been described as: capriciously chimeric, dreamlike, and a vivid enigma. www.halfacrepond.com

Got a most wonderful review of the first Felix from C.N. Rowan @cnrowan.bsky.social — author of the badass imPerfect Cathar series — the other day. Quite thrilled by what he had to say. Check it out !

Some fine wordsmithing here… can’t say it’s inaccurate, and really I’m kinda glad his face had all the features you’d expect and none of those you wouldn’t. But yeah, some days it’s like that.

Fashion magic! Sassy-pants always stylin. Whether stilettos or JNCOs. (Yes, that’s why they aren’t wet up to his calves)

Both. I’ll go back and reread for voice, tone, what happened…etc, but then get drawn back into the story because…
I write what I want to read and see in the world but Do Not… so once it’s done, I read and enjoy it. #writersky

He’s not wrong… only wrote 250 words tonight but I’m now far more adept at medieval alchemy & the Tarot…as both apply to this novella… than one ought to be. Also, a bit of Latin.
And, received a delightful reference book today, The First English Dictionary of Slang, 1699.
Tomorrow, 10k… I hope 🤣

This is my favorite research find ever — the NASA Broom Method. It inspired the vibe for my use of Alchemy in Felix Chance… postmodern problems require primitive solutions at times. #amwriting #research #alchemy #felixchance #booksky

Never, ever put off buying book one of something because book two isn't out. That's a good way to ensure book two is dropped by the publisher. Sure, a couple of big noisy boys have let you down. Most of us can, do, and are burning to in fact finish what we started, given half a chance.

I love it when a plan goes off the rails entirely and makes an even better story 🤣🤣🤣
Makes me look like a better writer for “planning” all this out. Totally meant to do that.
So yeah, Off Chance, chapter 8 is done. “Death Rides a Pale Lawnmower”

Meet the characters of Felix Chance in memes!
Hank sure did. The charming devil gave up a bit of eternity for one new soul set to be sacrificed. Now he fiddles with things around the Last Chance and dotes on his surrogate kin.
