Personal Writing Challenge ~ Update

On By Kim KnoxIn Kidney fun, Lost Gods, Personal Writing Challenge, Wolf-blood, Writing

My respiratory tract infection didn’t – hasn’t gone away. So I’ve been feeling fairly crappy for a month. It’ll be a joy at some point to actually stop coughing. Because of this, my kidney surgery didn’t go ahead and I’ve asked if it can be scheduled after Christmas. It’s elective and the surgeon’s secretary seemed fine with that.

So to take my mind of continuously coughing, I’ve been writing. Mostly it’s been on Wolf-blood, which stands at 23k. I’ve also been slogging my way through the edits of Lost Gods. I love this story, but edits are hard. I have to think so much more than when I’m writing, lol, and my brain is mostly mush at the minute.

So my total since I started the Personal Writing Challenge is: 250 506. Which in three weeks is: 34 289. This probably has everything to do with the character of Fitz. He’s kept me occupied and distracted from coughing, lol for a fortnight now.

Personal Writing Challenge – Update

So…the first week of the PWC and I’ve managed to write – OMG – 10 890. Wow. I didn’t think it was quite that much, lol

I may get more written in October than I thought too, as my cough and cold has still not shifted. If I’m not fighting fit by next Tuesday, then my surgery won’t go ahead. And I have no clue how far into the future they’ll reschedule it *sigh*

I’m a journal freak…

…and today I bought this little book. This is the actual size and it’s called Honour and Reputation *grin*. It’s only 2″ by 3″, so it’s perfect for my coat pocket. I had little black ring-binder flip notebook – but people looked at me funny if I wrote in it in public. I obviously looked like an undercover officer, lmao

This is the link for all you journal-o-philes

And the update on my PWC is here

Dawn Montgomery ran off with my gauntlet and slapped a label on it!

From now until 31 December, she plans to write, write and write some more in the Whiskey Straight ’08. That’s the highball she’s going to knock back on New Year’s Eve as a reward for her months of insanity 😉

I’m going to join her – though not in the drink, I’ll be One-Kidney Kim by then – and try to write…well…a lot *grin*

Off to make my lists. Update soon…

::edited to add:: Go here for lists and updates

OMG, she’s called Niamh

On By Kim KnoxIn Forbidden Fruit, Writing2 Comments

I’m just about to start writing Forbidden Fruit, my EC sub that has to be in by the end of the month. I’ve worked out the next part and sort of the end, so hopefully the writing of it will run a bit faster now. *gulp*

It’s about fruit and snakes and a jungle paradise…and I’ve just realised by heroine is called Niamh (pronounced Nieve). My subconscious is a complete bugger sometimes, lol

Lost Gods…they say YES!

Liquid Silver Books offered me a contract on Saturday *squeee* It’s my first novel length sf romance 😀

This is the blurb:

Frozen for decades on an abandoned asteroid, Katya Ortaega thaws and collapses at the feet of the most deliciously sinful man she has ever seen… she thinks.

Katya’s problem is her memory–she hasn’t got one. Her mind is blank. And now she’s stuck on a drilling platform with James Kinsare, a man who has her skin tingling and sometimes not in a good way. James is not who he appears to be and she can’t trust him… even as she finds him far too attractive.

All too soon, her past rears in the form of a man intent on killing both of them and now they have to work together to stay alive. However, Katya’s memories begin to resurface. And James Kinsare, the man who’s kept her alive against all the odds, the man who’s thawing her frozen heart, he might prove to be the biggest threat of all.

Weaving Words out today!

On By Kim KnoxIn New Release, Weaving Words, Writing

Yep, I have another release, lol

Buy link

Easy part of his day? Resurrecting the dead. Hard part? Keeping them alive.

Kaede is a witch whose family has been bound to a powerful House for over a thousand years. And he hates it. Despite the fact that his lord, Tarou, murdered his mother, Kaede is sworn never to harm the man who could kill him with just seven words. Now he’s been commanded to use his unique powers to resurrect Tarou’s wife from the dead, and he has no choice but to comply. Things go horribly wrong when he accidentally pulls the wrong soul back. Now it’s not just his own life he must try to save.

Vara’s day couldn’t get much more bizarre. One moment she’s a captain in the Temple Guard. The next, she finds herself transported into a world of magic and witches—and stuffed into the body of a lord’s wife. Unwillingly plunged into middle of a deadly power struggle, the only one Vara can turn to is Kaede, the witch responsible for dragging her into this alien world. A witch she finds far too attractive…

Warning: This book contains the following; magic, witches and more body-swapping than is safely sane.

Unity out today

On By Kim KnoxIn New Release, Unity, Writing5 Comments

My first menage releases in about three and a half hours *bounce*

The Talar murdered her mother and her sisters but to save her city from their attacking armada, Alena Petrova Dubov, Imperial Princess of the Rodin must put aside her hatred and sleep with the enemy.

It’s an ancient ceremony, shared with two men bred for her pleasure. Or it should have been. Her generals had chosen Vadim, son of a Talar captive, to satisfy her, joining her oldest friend, Sacha in bringing her to exquisite ecstasy.

The ritual will change her, transform her flesh until she becomes one with her city. With the prospect of her enemy’s power flowing within her, Alena is terrified of what she will become. But first she has to complete the ritual…and hope that her overwhelming attraction for her enemy doesn’t destroy the city she’s so desperate to protect.

You’ll find it here at Liquid Silver Books

And there’s an R rated excerpt further back in the blog

Enjoy! 😀
