Hey! I missed that Lois Tilton reviewed Apex’s all MRK issue. She gave “The Bride Replete” a recommended which is lovely since she is so hard to please. Kowal has created not only one fascinatingly alien society, but two, based on the same physiology. Pimi and her family don't quite seem human, but they are […]

I ran The Bride Replete through my real life critique group and hope that I’ve incorporated their notes successfully. If you have some time to read the whole thing and let me know if it makes sense, I’d appreciate it. 12,500 words of science-fiction. Think that’s long? You should have seen it in the 16,000

I was off today and the weather was actually warm enough to sit outside and write. Amazing. I didn’t even need a coat, although I did have on a fleece. I spent some time working on revisions for Ginger Stuyvesant and the Case of the Haunted Nursery and think I have a clear plan of
I’m still working on The Bride Replete First On board, the ship’s crew ran about preparing the steamer to depart, their bellies flat and taut. Last Pimi’s red tunic glared like a beacon against the muted colors of Repp-Virja. 1027 words today, bringing me up to 1252.
