#ScribesAndMakers 5/7. When did you think of the idea for your current project? Do you remember how it came about?

So we (my wife and I) are booked to trade at a steampunk event on June 6th/7th.

My wife said, late March this year, "the theme for the event is pirates and mermaids, we could write books". So I said "That's a good idea."

The file was opened March 25th and the writing completed at 30K words on May 4th. And I'm now working on the clean-ups.

Coming soon: "The Damsel and the Mermaid"

The mermaid image is available as a wallpaper/screensaver for desktop, iPhone and Android

#WritersCoffeeClub 5/6. Talk about something you've written which you expected would (_or expect will_) divide readers.

Better than that, I'll give you something that absolutely does divide readers.

"Wind in the East", the fourth book of the Maliha Anderson series, has a scene where she has herself strung up naked and insists her boyfriend whip her.

Writing the scene wiped me out emotionally for two weeks, but it wasn't some random perversion. She had a very specific reason (well, two reasons) even if they don't necessarily bear detailed examination.

Let's just say that readers either do, or do not, get past this scene.
