Just put up five "new" stories, basically just some stuff that I started but never continued. Now it's online for you to read. Unlikely that these will be continued, but unlikely things sometimes happen. It's not a stretch to say that a couple of them are years old. What's my excuse? I'm lazy. Here's your money back.

I'd like to take this chance to point out that these are all on a CC license, which means that anyone who wants to continue, spin-off, re-write, re-work, translate, or otherwise manhandle, modify, mess or muddle up, well, they are very welcome to do so.

So I'm back at home, looking for a job and place to live, you know, that sort of thing. It's been a wonderful summer.

Some vague promises and things, just to let everyone know:
-Active series right now are Coffee, Party Games, The Invention, and this new one, The Experiment.
-There are at least two more new series in the works.
-I'm also sitting on another unpublished story until an accompanying illustration is completed.
-The Melody Series already goes through sixteen chapters. I doubt there will be any more, but I'll try and find all the episodes so I can post them here.
-I'm studying some web design, so I might try and create my own page for practice.

Peace,

I'm headed to Australia tomorrow, so don't expect any updates till I get back. Which is in a month.

G'bye.

Just started another series, Party Games. That makes seven or eight that I've got going, depending how you count them. And while I'm happy to get a lot of these ideas onto paper (so to speak), there's a lot of older things that might get left by the wayside. I'm not really sentimental since I write these things primarily for my own enjoyment and exercise, but I'm curious if there's a huge demand for any one series over the others.

The other thing I'm still hoping is for some illustrators who might like to collaborate on something, either a short comic, illustrated story, or just a straight up barter. So if you're down for that, plz lemme know.

Current Series (I have a clear idea what the next episode will be):
Coffee
The Invention aka The Misadventures of Miss Annabelle Harnby
Party Games

Sidelined:
Melody and Miranda
The Find
Eng 194MG
More Flexible
Charlie's Magic Shoppe

So here we go. A few older things, a new story that some folks might like.

The news: I had a complete hard drive failure. All my stuff is stored on either a broken 2.5" drive or an inoperable eMac. But there really wasn't much there worth going back for. I lost a good deal of my "real" writing, but thankfully none of the novel I've started (not a tf magic novel, sorry).

As far as magic stories go, there's about three more in the works, including a steampunk/mad science kind of thing. I'm trying to get away from the "gifted" angle and make up some loose "rules" to this, because then I feel like the stories will be paced better.
