I’m writing the first draft of a young adult novel titled “Smudges”. When you die, sometimes you leave a smudge, a silent ghost that repeats the same action over and over unable to be wiped clean from reality. High School junior Miranda Spencer had seen those smudges most of her life but she never wanted to see the one of her murdered best friend, Anne. Charlotte Ames has moved to the podunk town of Hendersonville just in time to be the new girl with no date to the Prom. Remaking herself as the exciting and enigmatic Charly might be her in with the popular crowd if she can keep the voices in her head from ruining it. But when Miranda meets Charly, sparks fly and ghosts talk. Can Anne’s spirit tell them who her killer is before the murderer targets them as well.

I’m writing the first draft of a shifter romance, “Yowl at the Moon”. It’s alley cat versus house cat in a tale about avoiding the vet, how to get tangles out of long hair, and finding true love. Someone really should have stopped me. ?

I’m writing the first draft of my contemporary paranormal “Fool to Dream”. In it a microfossil expert who has the misfortune to have his dreams come true for an hour each morning meets the guy of his dreams. How will he know it’s true when he can’t tell which is the dream lover and which is the real thing?

I’m editing on a contemporary novel titled “As She Floated Down” about Emily Daws, a folklorist researching the history behind a murder ballad called Sylvie Girl. She finds her life begin to mirror the song’s love story when she becomes involved in a relationship with Brent Bolton, the grandson of the dead woman’s lover. And despite the ghost of Sylvie Girl trying to warn her away, she is inevitably drawn to the deadly riverbank.

I wanted to write a picture book for my niece. And it might be horror. Am I warping young minds? Maybe.

So I want to write a Female/Female space opera with an Indiana Jones like treasure hunt.

So I want to write a sequel to the Moonlight Market. I want to include all the things I loved about it: magical realism, a touch of horror, a little romance, the search for someone. This time I think the protagonist will be Evie from one of the flash fiction pieces that I wrote about the Market (you can find it with my flash fiction online). In this story she's all grown up and searching for a suspect in a case. Yep, Evie grew up to be an investigator. But she still needs to learn a few lessons in how to love.

Blame this one on DH. He loved the premise of Wolf Around the Corner and suggested the second story have an undercover werewolf trying to bring down corruption at...you guessed it - a dog show.

I love the show Leverage and the elaborate cons they pulled off. I really, really want to write a story like that only with some steampunk and with a gang of women from all walks of Victorian-esque life.
