I have a playlist for Grimaulkin<\/em>. But I’ve found a radio station on Sirius XM called Turbo that has a lot of the music for the mood of Grimaulkin<\/em>. It’s hard rock from the 1990’s and early 2000’s, just around the time period that Grimaulkin<\/em> takes place. (Trust me, I’d rather listen to that than Y2K Pop.) So when you read Grimaulkin Tempted<\/em>, know that I listened to this radio station which caused a lot of the action scenes–especially during Rage Against the Machine songs.<\/p>\n

Water<\/em> was written over three years. Cancer was written first and set aside; Pisces written earlier this year. Scorpio was initially the prologue, but I didn’t like it because there was no sex, and it didn’t espouse the, er, talents of Scorpio. When I changed my initial Scorpio into the prologue, that set me free to write Scorpio as you see him, which I’m very proud of.<\/p>\n

So good news, I was able to put my book in a store! Bewitched of Scituate is a little witchy store in Scituate, RI, where I got a card reading. Afterward we talked about putting Grimaulkin<\/em> in her store. She said that she would be happy to put my book on her shelf if I would donate one to her library. So I provided three copies to sell (because three is a magic number) and donated one.<\/p>\n

Next is getting it in the library. My next day off is September 8, and I’ll get down to the Pawtucket library to beg them to take Grimaulkin<\/em>. Maybe head up to Worcester to donate Homecoming<\/em>, too.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, my plan is to hit the 45K mark with Grimaulkin Tempted<\/em> this weekend (I’m at 44,783 right now, so it won’t be difficult) and start tying up loose ends. I was thinking of continuing a plotline into the next book, but decided against it. I want this to be tidy, because the next book is going to be really<\/em> deep and conflicted. Maybe I’ll finish it by Labor Day. If so, I’ll put it aside to rest and rise, then work on Earth<\/em>. After I write one of the novellas in that series, I’ll go back to Grimaulkin Tempted<\/em> and do the first edit. It will definitely be on its way to the editor in October.<\/p>\n

Things are going well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
