Chez Alex

Now staying with my writing partner Alex Woolgrave, aka predatrix. This means that assorted joint projects might have a sudden spurt of life. So to speak.

Have not as yet made any further progress on the the current WIP, because the Supersoaker battle was enormous fun, but I was forced to retire hurt from the field of battle after injuring my trigger finger. (Stop laughing, thank you.) It turned out that I'd managed to annoy the RSI again, and I was for once very sensible and kept away from the keyboard. I'm about to start writing again as soon as I've done this LJ entry, although with a certain amount of care and consideration. For once again I am using A Strange Computer, and thus no ergonomics. The laptop was just too damned heavy to lug through London Underground without very good reason.

I've finally seen some Firefly, and now I know exactly why so many of my friends in Blake's 7 fandom have been drooling over this series. Stunning ensemble cast of heroes in shades of grey. I will be getting the boxed set. I will be joining the chorus of hate over the untimely demise of the series.

Also saw "Master and Commander" earlier this week. Yum. Might add that to the list of DVDs to buy as well.

I have just heard "You're meant to be doing the cat story, I want to read some more of it", so I'd better get on with some fiction writing...

cover art for Ship to Shore

The cover art and short blurb for Spindrift 2: Ship to Shore are now up in the Coming Soon section of the Loose Id website. I'll be putting up a page on my website, complete with excerpt, as soon as I can get ftp access. (My net access has been somewhat restricted for the last couple of weeks, which is why the LJ has been updated but the website hasn't.) In the meantime, here's the short blurb and link to the cover art.

Human novelist Richard found love with the silkie Niall. When an attack leaves Niall's sister critically injured, the two must work together to save her... and keep the secrets of the silkies.

I do love the cover art I've had at Loose Id. :-)
