May 2020

Ok, I admit it. I’m a complete failure at regular updating. I always start things with the best of intentions, but then, well…life gets in the way. And there are so many better things I would rather be writing. So apologies for silence and procrastination.

Speaking of writing, I’ve been doing a bit of that. I’m working on editing for Trust Issues and should have that up in a couple of days. Trust Issues was my November 2019 Rough Trade story. I was really pleased with it and can’t wait to post the final. My April 2020 Rough Trade, The Prodigal Son, will be my next editing project. It requires some serious rewrites, so while I’m aiming for June, I won’t make promises.

This is the Year of the Sentinel on Rough Trade. I already have my story ideas for the rest of the year. Next up is July, and I will be entering the challenge with Unbreakable and Sanctuarium.  Unbreakable is a Magnificent 7 ATF / NCIS crossover. The primary pairings there will be Chris Larabee/Tony DiNozzo and Vin Tanner/Ezra Standish. Ezra comes online while undercover, and Tony is called in to help get through his unbreakable shields to train him. Along the way, he meets his resistant sentinel, Chris.

Sanctuarium is a Stargate Atlantis story. Latent guide Rodney McKay comes online while off-world. When they return, an injured McKay is given a dose of empathic suppressants before anyone can tell Dr. Keller he’s online. John goes feral from bond interference, and the expedition has to work to keep him from killing her while discovering a conspiracy to prevent latent guides from coming online. I’m really looking forward to July.

I’m also working on my plotting for November, which will be a Teen Wolf Sentinel Fusion that I’m tentatively calling A Hope in Hale. More information on that may be available later in the year. In between Rough Trade stories, there are ongoing projects for next year’s Quantum Bang, another episode of my Harry Potter Peaches series, and a couple other stories that are bouncing around.

So I’m keeping myself busy while avoiding face-to-face interactions in real life. Hope everyone out there is staying safe and entertained. And I promise to try, maybe, eventually to update this…well, on occasion.
