WIP-it Wednesday: August 16th, 2017
Time for a new weekly writer’s roundup of my works-in-progress and those ready to read! Things are finally moving forward on Vivian’s Last Cigarette again, and continuing to progress for my two other creative projects at the same time.

Mid-Week Muses: “We Saved a Cat”
A weekly compilation of collected microfictions composed by yours truly. If your time is short, these are shorter! The slave girl was mute but literate, a librarian silenced by barbaric surgery.

Throwback Thursday: Dechara’s Tree, by Larry Elmore (1990)
When Dechara's Tree graced the November 1990 cover of Dragon Magazine #163, it didn’t make an immediate impact on me. It is, of course, a piece done by legendary fantasy artist Larry Elmore and shows his mastery of skill. Yet, it’s not a showy painting of epic fantasy, and I think for that reason it...
