Decision made! The Digital Doorstop is going to be two books.
Unexpected benefit: I can now say I’ve written two novels!
Unexpected downside: I have to do two covers and two cover blurbs.
Coming soon, an excerpt from the first book.

I write science fiction, fantasy, romance and steampunk, often all at the same time. My feminist steampunk romance novel Firebrand was a 2012 Tiptree Honor Book. Here on this blog I talk about writing, self-publishing and other stuff that occurs to me.

Read an excerpt from Firebrand, my steampunk fantasy romance inspired by Charlotte Bronte's juvenilia.
Read an excerpt from The Maker's Mask, the first part of my Requite Duology, a science fiction adventure.

*bounces with badly suppressed excitement*
It’ll probably be part of the first chapter, which I’m still not wholly happy with, but then I’m never happy with first chapters – the first chapter of the book about roleplayers that never saw the light of day had been rewritten so many times it made me cringe to look at it.
Shall I add you to my blogroll or is your blog just a placeholder?
I like the first chapter. How different is it from the last one I saw?
It’s currently a placeholder, until I get something finished. I am Inspired on a short story though, so who knows?
I don’t think a lot’s changed, except that it’s a bit tighter – I wanted it to start with a bang, so there’s less of Tzenni interacting with the trade town outside Shainault’s gates before she gets inside and meets Innes and ends up on the run from the guard.
Also, I need to do one final adjective extraction run. 🙂
And also, yay for the inspired short story!
