A large reference sheet detailing a character named Eylie, a half human/half deer (not-deer). It shows his human half who has brown hair, fur all over his body and scars from arrows and his deer form mostly brown accents with an affixed deer skull and visible rib bones. Very cryptid looking.
Finalized reference sheet for Eylie, my cryptid Not-Deer character!
More characters to come!

#WIP Finishing off one project while anxious to start working on the line edits. I'm not super great at multitasking, and obsessive about finishing one thing before I move on to the next. Tomorrow I'll start. π¦πΊπ³οΈβπ

How I gathered ten years of #Texas historical research and transformed it into The Dust Series, set in a mythical town in the Texas Panhandle β and wherever the characters roam.

#wip Arranged a video call with my editor in the UK this morning. Midnight there, 9 am here. These quick video calls save the need to exchange a large quantity of emails back and forth (besides, it's great to catch up) π¦πΊπ³οΈβπ

Yay, two medical appointments in a row this morning on either side of town. How did I let this happen? Have research notes to read while in the waiting rooms, so I can get stuck into writing when I get back home. π³οΈβπ

What's your current read? Mine are "Hungerstone" by Kat Dunn - a sapphic retelling of Dracula, and a non-fiction history book - "How the Victorian's Lived" by Shona Parker. #historyBookChat #historicalficiton #greathistoricalfiction #booksky #historicalfiction+
The sun is out, the weather has cooled slightly, perfect for something outdoors. Me? I intend to sit in my study, write and check out my garden through the window behind the computer. Fresh edit about to begin π³οΈβπ

I write #HistoricalFiciton because I love finding gaps in history - gaps I feel need filling!
[This is still relevant a few years on: crowvusbookblog.blogspot.com/2021/11/hist... ]
I also love giving stories to people in my #FamilyTree, imagining what drove them to certain things.
#wip Managed to finally feel happy about the book blurb I've written for my next-to-be-published novel. Not an easy thing for me. I usually obsess over blurbs until I can't see straight anymore ππ¦πΊπ³οΈβπ

Well, it's happening. Just collating all the material I need to send to the editor then it's farewell to this story for another few months until the line edits come back. Meanwhile, here's one I prepared in advance ... another story written six months ago that needs rewritingππ³οΈβππ΄
#historicalficiton
Hopefully today will see the end of the rewrite so that I can spend tomorrow sorting out what needs to go to the editor (timelines, reference material etc). This is the first time I've had two books at rewrite stage at the same time. It's a good feelingπ³οΈβππ

The new coffee machine has already been posted. If I'd lived in a big city, it may have arrived the same day. However, in rural Australia delivery times can vary. Managed to get writing done yesterday thanks to my plunger coffee. Not the same, but it got me through the morning ππ³οΈβπ

Okay, first day of rewriting the sequel to my best-selling book The Road to Montepulciano. Got my notes from beta readers and have done my research, now it's just a matter of stopping myself from reading and actually editing ππ³οΈβπ

One of the problems with tropes is avoiding them. Often real life is filled with a succession of tropes and writing about them isn't so much about not using them, but going into the reasons behind the situation that will make it less eye-rolling and more believable. Thoughts? π³οΈβπ
