An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

A bit if dialogue from Chapter Three of my latest fic:

“What are you doing these days?”

“When I’m not following you to pork buns?” And oh, he still was a punk, wasn’t he?

“Yeah, when you’re not following me around to the best pork buns in all of Brooklyn.”

“This from a man who drinks coffee brewed in a sock.”

“Bustelo from a sock,” Bucky corrected. “And answer the damn question Stevie.” The use of that nickname must have been a gift, from the way Steve’s smile grew even brighter.

“Not much really.” They had just crossed Fourth Avenue and Steve was staring around curiously, like he was expecting Bucky to turn. Bucky keep walking west on 52nd Street. “I’m part of the Avengers, so I spend a lot of time with them, training, trying to find any leads we can and stop trouble before it actually gets a chance to start. When we don’t, well, we go out and fight. I hang with the guys, and every now and then I go to visit Sam and Peggy in DC.”

That was a lot of information, and he felt his brain stutter over it. Samuel Thomas Wilson, codename Falcon. They had fought before, and the Asset had destroyed his wings and then thrown him off the helicarrier. The Asset was strangely proud of that; Bucky didn’t think he should mention that to Steve.

If you’ve been reading and enjoying, please feel free to stop on by or tag me here on Tumblr. I love talking to fellow Stucky fans and always reply to all comments on my fic. =)

Either way, to anyone who’s been reading my work, thank you. <3 <3 <3

Books Written in Symphony

Today's the day! The sneak preview of book 3 of the Cathell series is out to my mailing list subscribers.

This weekend, I hit a new milestone. I finished books 3 and 4 of my dark fantasy series. If you're wondering how I managed to finish two books in one weekend, it's because I was writing them in symphony with each other. A lot of authors like to have two projects or more going at once, in case they get stuck on one. But, I work on them at the same time.

What does that mean?

I've said before that I don't usually get writer's block. My problem is usually an overabundance of things to write versus not knowing what to write next. And, in the case of The Joy Thief and Shadowboxer, the books are semi-interconnected, so writing them at the same time was helpful to keep the overlapping stories straight.

This is a divergence from books 1 and 2, which are not direct sequels of one another. (Think the Dragonlance and Forgotten Realms series, which were related but not all interconnected.) This means that, yes, you can read book 1 and then the sneak preview to book 3, and not spoil anything from book 2.

So, how did I balance the writing of these books?

For some reason, The Joy Thief quickly established itself as a daytime book, so I would write about 1500 words of Aeryn and Theo's book in the morning. Then, I would shift over to writing Thystle and Shadowboxer in the wee hours of the night. There was enough gap between the two writing sessions that I didn't get burned out. It was actually kind of fun.

If you want to know what each book is about, check out the series page. I'll be discussing more about them in the next few posts.

If you're not on my mailing list yet, there's not time like now to get on there. It's really a win-win for you. You get a 10-chapter sample of Into the Darkness, if you haven't read it already, coupons, and the sneak preview. Plus, regular updates on my work not available to the public.

If you subscribe after the sneak preview launches, I'll make sure you're sent the link you need.
