Spring is finally here!

Spring has finally arrived in Canada! It's about damn time, too.  And I think the warmer weather has helped to reignite my writing mojo--I'm doing a lot more writing than I was over the winter.

I'm wrapping up Astral Bodies, and it looks like it might have seven or so parts to it.  Have you checked out Tess's story yet?  Part three will be coming out at the end of this month, and it's going to be free!  Here's an update on the scheduled release dates for upcoming parts...

Part 3 - April 24 (FREE) Read an excerpt here!
Part 4 - May 29 ($0.99)
Part 5 - June 26 
Part 6 - July 31

As for Glenbrook...it's going.  I'm relatively on track for a summer release, but I'm not too sure.  Updates as I go, I guess.  For now I have started posting pieces on Wattpad, so check it out!

As for my Camp NaNoWriMo project, it's going surprisingly well.  Phasing is just a little bit behind schedule, but I already have most scenes planned out on cue cards or just in my head--I just need to find the time to sit and write it now!  Chapters are also being posted on Wattpad for you to read.

Excerpt - Phasing

Chapter two of Phasing is up on Wattpad for all to read :)  The writing is going well but I'm a little behind.  I'm hoping to catch up near the end of the month when I have more time off of work.  For now I have to live with just a few sentences here and there.

Here's a part of chapter two!

It was kind of unfair that we had to go back out on assignment so soon after coming back.  Okay, our assignment with the fire elemental was in our hometown, but I’d gotten hurt.  I thought that meant I could have a little time off, but Cress clearly thought differently.
I sat in my usual chair with Colt next to me, each of us waiting for our assignment.  Cress sat in her chair, almost looking uncomfortable.  I wasn’t sure I’d seen her uncomfortable before; usually she controlled a room.
“We gonna get started or…” I let my sentence trail off, hands in the air.  Cress looked to Colt, and I kept flicking my eyes between them.  “What?”
“Go ahead,” Colt said with a shrug.
“You’re next assignment isn’t going to take you far,” Cress began, “it’s only about an hour up north.”
I groaned.  “Please tell me the fireman didn’t get out.  I don’t think I could—”
“That’s not it,” interrupted Cress.  “It’s the Antiope tribe; they’ve run into a…problem.”
“Tribe?” I repeated.  “Antiope?  Never heard of them.  What are they a tribe of?”
Cress and Colt were silent.  After a few seconds Colt answered, “Amazons.  They are…my tribe.”  His fingers gripped the edge of the armrest, cracks beginning to form along the wood.
“Oh,” I breathed, “I’m so sorry.  What’s going on?”
“I think it may be best to go there  yourself; we’ve limited information,” admitted Cress.  “The Antiope tribe claim to be descendants of Antiope herself and are not quite…involved in our society.  They have a complete hierarchy.”
“Then how do we know there’s a problem?” I asked.  Colt seemed quieter than usual, and it was more than a little unsettling.  I’d never seen my partner like this before.
“One of their scouts has come to us seeking help.”
I only nodded, not wanting to question it.  If something was going on with Colt’s family, I didn’t want to mess it up by pointing out the Amazons weren’t under Legion rule.  Now that I thought about it, it was kind of weird that Colt even worked with Legion.  I looked to him, and was able to put together why he was so upset today.  But did he know about this last night?  I hadn’t noticed anything, and guilt sank in my stomach.
