I was forced, by life, to take a break from the writing course I had been enrolled in back in 2008. I am going to get back to the course, How To Think Sideways, and work my way from start to finish. Call it a midlife crisis - I do. Some people buy a new sports car, some people divorce their spouse, some quit their job - I am going to write a novel.
Heir to Magic
I suppose that every writer has that one book that they feel has to be told, the one that is their story, the story they think about and want to perfect... this is mine. This is a story I am working on that is based on the Princes in the Tower.

I am working on a novel with a friend. So far this novel has no title, but we're closing fast on the 100,000 word mark.
Shadowlord's Gambit
This is a novel I wrote out in a single month years ago (back about the time NaNoWriMo started up, but before I ever heard of the concept of writing a novel in a single month. I simply caught a muse and followed it through a story that I found fascinating. I have since been slowed by a uneasy feeling that it reads too much like the narration of a game of Dungeons and Dragons, so have been slowly revising to work out the kinks. A process slowed considerably by the loss of the first few chapters somewhere along the way. (I accidentally tagged this as Dragonlord's Gambit when I first entered the information here. Like that name, but it is so very wrong for the book.)

TORCHWOOD
Don't forget, the pound is twice the value of the USD. As of my last count update (July 25) the amount is 2,928.50 GBP = $4,812.40 USD
As a writer, it amazes me how some characters can make people respond.
Torchwood is a BBC series. In its third season fans of the series were upset to lose one of the characters. There are many fans that want to see Ianto Jones brought back, but beyond that they have been motivated to donate to causes such as the BBC Children in Need charity in the character's honor - something I hope the character's actor, Gareth David-Lloyd would approve of.
