Character Inspiration...

I really like this picture... I honestly have no clue if he is gay, straight or bisexual... and to be honest: I don't really care; as he has the right to live his life in whatever fashion he chooses.

So why do I like this picture so much? Because he is different. Purely  and simply because it's an interesting photo, and I seriously want to put stickers all over someone like that - (preferably while they are still asleep). 

I also like this picture because he gives me great character inspiration  in so many different ways. I could write him as and goth/emo or I could write him as a tough guy with a tender side. Maybe he's just some random guy doing a photo shoot. All I know is that he will make a great character in one of my stories... Now I just have to find the right character role to slot him into.

I have had this picture saved on my computer for years (well, at least two) and I will keep on saving him until I find the right character... UNLESS!!! someone out there has a name and a scenario he might fit into. If so drop me a comment and let me know what you think.

Just Shout It From The Rooftops...

Is this really so bad? I can think of a hell of a lot worse things in life than same sex love.

A Heads Up ~

Lancatser's Way: A Different Way of Seeing... Well low and behold I threw away the first version and started from scratch. I made it to just over 2K yesterday so I am happy with that progress.

Mixed Tape: I Should Have Known Better... I am happy because yesterday I passed the 10K mark and now I have an inkling of where I am heading with this story. It's truly like a fog has been lifted as my mind has been caught up in other story lines.

The Lines of Marsden: Living in Shadows... I'm not really sure how much I have actually done on this one as I have a few different docs. (Shhh, don't tell Embry as I made fun of her for doing the same thing) any way so whichever perspective you want to look at it I am somewhere between 0 and 85K... I just need to put them all in the same place.

The Diamond Rose: Undercover Hearts... to be honest this book is at a standstill unless one of you lovely people can tell me where the hell I have put my spiral notebook with all my info and story ideas in it. You think I would have it in one of my filing cabinets, or maybe in the office somewhere... but alas I have put it in a safe place - I just have no clue where that safe place is at the moment. (But the tattoo Em has across her sternum of this title is almost finished just one more pass-over to do touch-ups) I think I'm just under 4K on this one.

Jettermane... even though this started as a blog story I have been revising it and expanding it and I will try and get it subbed somewhere so that Cinders and everyone else can find out the rest of the story. I was slack and just stopped mid story at a time when my real life seemed to get hectic as hell... about 18K

But who's life doesn't get busy at times... and why do I separate the two... because writing to me is just as real as breathing or cooking for my family.

Boys From The Bush...

Well I have had some feedback on Bush Bashin'. This was one story I was kind of worried about how it would be received by the public... but I have fulfilled my need to have one person like the story... This person even asked for who they wanted to here more about Alec and Lester... so it looks like the already established couple are getting their time to shine. and the series Boys From the Bush will make it out of the filing cabinet inside my mind.

When I write Alec & Lester I already have a title picked: Something That He Said and it will be a back story on how they met, fell in love, and ended up on Hazeldown Station...

 If the road to hell is paved with good intentions - then - the road to heaven is paved with blood, sweat, and tears.

Soon we will see just what these two men went through for the right to be just who they are. They will have you laughing, crying, and wanting to reach through the pages and slay their dragons.

Cinders it's coming soon (as soon as I write it!!!)

PS: Galley has been done on Sons of Evenmore: The Crimson Grimoire and Mannix and Jynx are safely back in the hands of the wonderful Kris Jacen and awaiting release... Releasing in March

Em's Turn Some Of My TLOM Playlist.

It's time for some music today and I'm feeling very eclectic in what I want to share with you all. These are songs which I have on my The Lines of Marsden playlist. They are songs that range for characters over the whole 18 books. but if I am honest most are for Michael Marsden and Raphael Marsden (in later books). So sit back with a nice cuppa, put your feet up and relax, and let the words flow over you.

I picture Michael and Benj singing this in England

(Book 2 or 3)

I can hear Doyle singing this 

(Book 2 - I have already written this scene)

I hear this song when I start to write the grown up Raphael

(Book 7 or there abouts)

This just screams Raphael to me

Been Sick Again...

So, by my heading you can tell why I have been Missing in action for the last couple of days. While I was away I re read some of my own books.

Toowoomba Boys: Angels on Top

Toowoomba Boys: Hunting for Clay

Lancaster's way: When Souls Collide

I have made tons of notes on all three and have come to the conclusion that the books which follow are going to be nothing like I planned... since the re read my mind is taking a whole different path.

Toowoomba Boys: Dancing with Demons - will still be Damon's book but what I originally had planned for him and the reason he disappeared has slightly gone a different way. Same basis just different people involved and we will meet new characters who will feature in future books.

Lancaster's Way: A Different Way of Seeing - Is still Chace's book but when I started writing it over the last couple of days the person who I thought he would be with: (Kelly Mack) is gone, and there is a whole new person who works for Doc Hedley (vet) got only a slight mention in When Souls Collide... this person comes in and falls for the challenged Chace Williams. I think it will be better this way, and again I will be introducing characters who will feature in future books in this series.

Here are some pics to help get you in the mood for Lancaster's Way #2...
