If you're interested in any of my non-fanfiction, http://www.fictionpress.com/~sweetseptemberstorm is a link to my profile and stories on FictionPress. There's some overlap but there are also a lot of different stories. Check 'em out! Also, if you feel so inclined, visit me in the blogosphere at http://elusivemusings.wordpress.com and see what a lot of nothing I have to say. July 4th update: Yes, for all of you who might have noticed, 'A Girl Called Mouse' has been taken down from FF. (My apologies to anyone who might have been in the middle of it.) I'm in the process of editing Mouse within an inch of her literary life in the hopes that she'll be ready for publishing within the next few years. Accordingly, wiser heads than mine have recommended removing the story from the internet until then. Anyway, that's the scoop with Mouse. If anyone would like to stay updated on her progress through the wild and wonderful world of the publishing industry, PM me and I'll do my best to keep you in the loop. August 25th update: I apologize for any confusion; I have edited, re-organized and re-posted all the chapters in 'Mirrorsbane' and 'The Guardian of Baláirdh Drún.' The only new material (besides the edits, which in TGBD are pretty significant) is in the last seven chapters of Mirrorsbane. I wanted to condense the chapters sizes (since 5,000+ words in a go are rather tedious), so hopefully there will be more chapters forthcoming, and more quickly. Again, sorry if I raised any false hopes with all those alerts in your inboxes! I hate that I have to do this, but just to be on the safe side: Unpublished Works: A Girl Called Mouse; Mirrorsbane, The Guardian of Baláirdh Drún, The Starfarer's Daughter, The CHI Conspiracy, Under The Earth It Rained, Lonely Queen, The Foolish and the Weak, Stone Born, The Last Word War, Prophet, Once For All © 2012 Sweet September Storm Basically, no snitching. :o) | |||||||
