Since this week's writing theme is about intentions, and we are still discussing disguises, I felt like it needed to be a different kind of Music Monday. A side you haven't seen of me or my characters... Masquerades can be freeing, releasing inhibitions and allowing for deeper desires. Or, they can be the masks we … Continue reading Intentionally Disguised As Music Monday
Red Letters
Red Letters In Disguise
What better way to kick off a costume filled month than with some Wardrobe Wednesday type disguises? You see my characters learning about themselves, talking about love and wisdom, happiness and care. What you don't see are the ones in disguise, in the shadows, the elements that reveal themselves when it's too late. Some are … Continue reading Red Letters In Disguise
Falling For Music Monday
In my neck of the woods, it's that time of the year... Technically, it's all seasons in a day, but the cool down is starting to stick more than the summer heat. So I'm starting to think of those cozy things. Hoodies, bon fires, sweaters, the apple pumpkin products... So this week's theme is a … Continue reading Falling For Music Monday
Found In Red Letters – Fiction Friday
Because our mains only see what they see, there's plenty of stories that fall just off screen. Today I present something Found In Red Letters... Soulful, Winter 2009 Sly tended bar at night. It was quiet enough to read when Tweety left for the night and the crowd slowly followed. This particular weekend, Gus’ grandson … Continue reading Found In Red Letters – Fiction Friday
Music Monday History of Souful
In the book world, Soulful bar and nightclub already existed before Tweety and the crew found it and helped revamp it into the next version of it's life. So, what kind of life did this bar have? Can I show it with music? I like a good challenge... No matter what decade it was, there … Continue reading Music Monday History of Souful
Sly Before Red Letters Fiction Friday
The final installment in the Sly feature is a little alluring lore about the legendary myth himself. As always, I try to leave it as fragments of fiction, giving you the scene but not the whole book. Sly especially is a character you get to know over time through other people's perceptions of his actions. … Continue reading Sly Before Red Letters Fiction Friday
Before Red Letters – Sly Before Soulful
Wardrobe Wednesday with the very stoic Sly! I promise it will be more than his only black suit. The milkshake habit and need for written words came from somewhere too... Side note, Sly is a character in the WIP world. But there's a real person who had feedback in the OG draft that maybe ended … Continue reading Before Red Letters – Sly Before Soulful
Music Monday with Maestro Sly
This week's theme is Bar Backstories, and who better to lead this for us than Sly? We see how he becomes important in the series, but we don't see him before the Red Letters series picks up. He is also the late night host, the word wise guy, the music debater if you're there when … Continue reading Music Monday with Maestro Sly
Soulful Firsts For Fiction Friday
This week, I will share the other side of a big event. In our Red Letters series, this goes smoothly for the mains in book one, and we see some of this mood later when these characters come up in their own rights and the more current timeline in later books. I don't want to … Continue reading Soulful Firsts For Fiction Friday
Music Monday Tall Tales
This month we're talking about the bar world. For this Monday, I'm thinking about music that tells stories you might hear in a bar, with or without the beat behind it. After all, Tweety isn't our only unreliable narrator... What if short moments that make or don't make the main story are inspired by song … Continue reading Music Monday Tall Tales
