When Arlyne Pennig finds herself in another world, and mistaken for a Matchmaker, she decides to play along until she can get home. Easier said than done. She gains a reluctant ally in her predecessor's assistant, a pixie named Columbus Shefte.

Oh, look. A piece from what I'm *actually* supposed to be working on. Novelette 2 of Matchmaker Matchmaker.

Meet Nettie, one of the loves of Merriweather's life, and her cousin Rye. Both are involved in the wake up call Arlyne later receives about the dark side of a Matchmaker's power

Back to Born in Blood. Going with vibes, as the scene is about an argument over a captured city. Hazen's desire to consider Rhodol's need beyond war and Deodar's obsession with conquering Sard clash. Kali and Ceris attempt an intervention.

Back to Concordat. Didn't really have anything directly for battery. So I went with vibes, and took a scene where there's a power drain.

Because a bomb has been planted... but we don't actually get to that part in the snippet.

Time to introduce you all to what will likely be my third set of Novelettes: Concordat.

A sci-fi, or I should say Retrofuturism, honestly.

Set in a universe where a concordat keeping the peace between worlds/states is breaking down. Centered on the group assigned to stop its collapse.

I need to remind myself to finish Matchmaker, Matchmaker's second Novelette before working on Born in Blood. Discipline when it comes to my writing isn't my strong point.

Sorry for the hiatus. Expect posts once more!

Born in Blood snippet.

The opposite to the Gerard are the Wynstelle. The children of the two families are basically the catalyst to the end of the war. Especially Kali Wynstelle (aka Kaleigh Gerard).

Mazarine later learns of Deodar's deception, but loves Kali all the same.

Back to Born in Blood. Leila's grief hit me the most of the WIPs with "stand."

The story begins with the fall of the city and the split of the Gerard Family. Leila managed to escape with her son Gad, but thinks her husband and daughters Nilda & Kaleigh (/Kali) are dead.

I try to tow the line when it comes to Arlyne's thoughts and words so you know what books she is referencing without directly referencing it. If you know the books in question. This one probably is one of the most direct.

The world really didn't seem to need to be saved. What would the heroine of a novel do if the world was just fine the way it was?

Okay, "same" was easy to find.
I'm with my MC on this one. I would definitely be creeped out by my reflection talking to me.

I could only find two potential uses of horn. This one was more fun. It's a flash fiction I wrote for a prompt years ago. I never got around to figuring out a proper plot for it, but now I think I should. It has potential as another comic fantasy.

Vibes again today. Cuz apparently I haven't used the word recent at all. Lol. Slight spoiler for the first novelette, as this WIP is the second. Frank and Indigo only recently found each other again. Frank reserves his roses for Indigo now.

Back to Born in Blood. So the whole thing actually starts 20 years in the past. With the fall of one of the cities. You'll note this babe is named Kali and the piece I previously shared had a Princess Kali who believed Deodar was her father...

Going with vibe today. This scene is technically towards what will be the end of the second Novelette of the series. It's Deshawn's introduction, and his secret is shown in the same scene, so no real spoiler.

Could I live without my crockpot? Sure.

Do I want to? Nope!

You know you write fantasy when… you misspell your own characters' names.

So, after Matchmaker, Matchmaker, the most likely failed novel attempt I will chop to pieces and edit into a Novelette series is Born in Blood. An epic fantasy about two kingdoms in an extended war. It was the obvious WIP to find the word enemy in.

All the prompts keep taking me back to Merriweather. Arlyne is the main character. Promise. 😂

My MC after she has been teleported to another world:

She glanced around the woods again, taking in more breaths to calm herself. "Not even one damn lamppost." She muttered, before looking back at the cave.

Apparently I don't frequently use the word frequent. So I went with habit. This is part of a scene from the second novelette in my Matchmaker Matchmaker series, which I'm currently working on.

Back to the old school writing games.

A faulty elevator leads to a trip to the wrong place. Also, two people get married.
