When a telekinetic barista and starship commander's love awakens magick from when humans forged stars, yet when forgotten foes seek vengeance for a war humanity began before Earth formed, love becomes their only hope. #Fantasy #Amquerying #Disability

9/15 word: OTHER

Cullen stumbles over Angie's past traumatic moment, and neither knows how to get through it---Angie winds up changing the subject. Healing isn't a one and done thing, it's process and it's a marathon.

WIPSnip 9/11: HALF

Angie isn't known as the Sass-Blaster 9000 for nothing.
Cullen's 6'6 and Angie's 4'11, you think that means anything to her at all?

Today's word: Ability.

Introducing M an AI in an android body who could be described as the 'Anti-Data' from Star Trek's Next Generation. Rather than aspiring to be human, M seeks to become their true self, whoever that may be.

Times Destiny's newest pitch. No more poking at the prose or fiddling with the graphics...oh who am I kidding? For now it's here though. #WritingCommunity #SFF #AmQuerying #Fantasy

Our 61st-century starship commander Cullen is teaching his 21st-century witchy girlfriend Angie how to fly a starship, and they have this moment. It's such a flirty, fun chemistry between them...

Cullen rendezvous with Angie in a spooky 19th century village splintered off from our world. She decks him, but she's still happy to see him. Just got to make him work for it.

Favorite character

My favorite in Times Destiny is hands down Angie.
Telekinetic barista who's short stature only serves to condense her fiery temper. Her boyfriend Cullen likes strong women and Angie's nickname 'Firecracker' is well-earned.

Do I stick with one genre?

That's like sticking to one emotion--why would you?
One genre is a launch platform to an unexplored universe of possibilities you never thought possible.

8/27: Stand

Ah Times Destiny, one part urban fantasy, two parts epic science fantasy...all bundled up by a heated romantasy.

The typo I spotted post-upload yesterday bothered me. It's been remedied in the manuscript too. 😁

Folklore & Myth in WIP

Thousands of alien races knew the myth of the Guardians in the 61st century. With crystalline starships and wielding fantastical magiks, the Guardians, a civilization spanning billions of years, acted as protectors of the less advanced worlds.

Day 25

I have dual protagonists, Angie & Cullen and each confides in the other. Angie never thought she'd find a man who wouldn't hurt her, and Cullen following his ex-wife's affairs never thought he could trust a woman again. They're each other's confidants.
