A blog where you can track my works-in-progress. Excerpts, news, artwork...and I will possibly post personal stuff as well.

An update
Spirit’s Destiny is officially on hold.
However, I’m working on the next book in that series (which will end up being the first book, with Spirit’s Destiny being a prequel)
It starts where Spirit’s Destiny will leave off.

So…..I have not even been working on my novel
but I have time today, so I’m going to argue with my muse until he agrees to let me work.
Also, I resolved that placeholder name issue.
His name is Tyromp. It is staying. So yeah.
DON’T YOU DARE CHANGE IT. TYROMP DESERVES TO HAVE HIS STORY SHARED WITH THE WORLD.
But Tyromp isn’t even the main character. He’s a minor character that I needed for a scene or twelve.
Ok so he’s pretty much the mayor of the damn town, second in rank only to Dalia
He’s such a Tyrion-style antagonist too.
OK CAT YOU WIN. But if GRRM sues me I blame you!
