I wrote this for an assignment in college. I was enamored with the story of Boudica and wanted to do something with her. I don't think I did very well, for my creative writing professor just sighed and gave it a B minus. Or was it a C plus? Frankly, my whole experience with him … Continue reading The Excalibur Queen

Beta and Snow
NaNoWriMo (national novel writing month) never did anything for me because whatever social or mental mechanic it has to encourage people to write didn't work on me. I got to writing a novel in a month or less because it was a ghostwriting job that paid well, my husband didn't have a job because he … Continue reading Beta and Snow
Ice Cream Trucker
Yeah, so ice cream trucks creep me the heck out, so I thought since they creep me out, maybe they could make a good horror story. This is where it went and died. Prologue He dug his teeth into the other man’s shoulder so hard his jaw popped. Round bone slipped beneath his incisors, slick … Continue reading Ice Cream Trucker
Firefox
Not the browser, but a story idea I thought would be fun. Sadly, again, none of the characters stepped up to tell me the story and I only got this far. It has, get this, a fire fox! Oh, bet the title didn't clue you in. Firefox by T.S. Lowe Weights swung about Emry in … Continue reading Firefox
My Friend Death
I just really liked the idea of writing a story where the main character is best friends with death. I don't necessarily see death as a scary thing, maybe because I have a mental disease that's gotten me close and personal with suicide or because I'm fairly religious. I also, at the time of writing … Continue reading My Friend Death
Raising a Hero–chapter 70
I thought on that for a moment, not wanting to give him an inaccurate answer. He gave me my time, tapping the corner of a page when a certain dress caught his attention. They varied, so I couldn’t quite tell his taste, other than not super poofy or showing too much. “It’s not you, persay,” … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 70
Raising a Hero–chapter 69
Sir Fairenson all but came running out when he saw me trying to flag down a carriage. “My lady, why didn’t you say anything? Please, let me help you with that.” “Uh, thank you. And it was just sort of a last minute decision. I’ve been needing some new clothes.” He stiffened. “Wait here. I’ll … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 69
Summers in Russia and Typhoons
This is the first chapter of another story I wrote. It's kind of fun to read on its own. Or maybe I'm just a narcissist reading my own stories like sniffing my own underwear--which I don't do. Seriously. You sniff your own underwear. Before Beasts, There Were Storms by LoweFantasy Contrary to popular belief, Russia … Continue reading Summers in Russia and Typhoons
Raising a Hero–chapter 68
The first month of my stay also resulted in the beginning of relationships between me and the gray clad maids of the house. At first, my ultra nice room didn’t come with servants. It had been all Roman could do to push the room on me, let alone people who would wait in me, one … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 68
Raising a Hero–chapter 67
Despite having seen several showcases of fire, wind, earth, and water magic at the summer festival, and occasionally from a street performer on my trips to market, I didn’t feel like I’d gotten the amount of magic that Nehcor bragged about so heartily. He’d made it sound like I’d be walking down Diagon Alley in … Continue reading Raising a Hero–chapter 67
