I’ve joined Web Serial Writing Month

ByCarma Spence

Lord Vayne LogoToday marks the beginning of the 9th annual Web Serial Writing Month. I’ve challenged myself to move forward on a novel I’ve been working on (more off than on) since my undergraduate days.

The working title is Lord Vayne and it is loosely about a star-crossed, ill-fated romance between an alien made immortal by nano-technology and a vampire. You can learn more about the characters and the story here.

I’ve already posted the drafts of the first two chapters to this blog, and an challenging myself to post a chapter a week throughout this month.

I welcome your comments and feedback on my novel. I’ve been inspired to do something like this for years because of Kealan Patrick Burke. Many years ago, he posted weekly the chapters of what eventually became his novel Master of the Moors.

For whatever reason, I never got off my duff and did it. Now, thanks to WeSeWriMo, I’m going to do it!

Here are links to the first two chapters, and expect Chapter 2 by Friday.

    Prelude: Clarissa & Zorin Series

    ByCarma Spence

    Way back when Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel were still airing, I came up with an idea that I never pitched. I’m kind of glad I didn’t as the story has really evolved its own mythos and I think will make a nice, mildly humorous series of short stories and novellas. Here’s a short prelude to the first story, which centers around Clarissa first learning about her unique gift and meeting her right hand companion, Zorin — a half-human, half-“demon” were-alien.

    Sinking Lips

    ByCarma Spence

    There is a song that includes the following lyrics: In the midst of the sailing ships We sink our lips Into the ones we love Who have to say good-bye My question is, how does one “sink” one’s lips into someone? Unless, perhaps, you are a geriatric vampire who forgot to wear your dentures.
