Ersatz, by Sol Crafter is the story of two slackers in love #SolCrafter

Okay, so “Ersatz” is now on Amazon and Smashwords. It’s a $0.99 short story about two man-children that are asked about their ersatz homosexual relationship, which leaves them reeling.

Disregarding their ages, they really are man-children in that they spend all their time slacking around in their apartment playing video games and smoking pot. Their comfortable world gets rocked by a rude question and they respond in typical fashion–by running away from each other and acting like teenaged girls, neither one wanting to be the first to mention the dreaded “love” word.

BTW, when I picture Niedelmeyer hassling Charlie, this is the image that popped in my head:

He just seems like that kind of guy…

EXCERPT: Altredes [science fiction] #LisaBailey

Title: Altredes
Author: Lisa Bailey
Genre: YA, sci-fi/fantasy
Summary: Sebastian Altredes is the heir of the powerful Altredes Family and has been ordered by his father to represent the Altredes in their alliance with the up and coming Mercana Family. Only the man the world knows as “Sebastian Altredes” is really Sabrina Altredes, a woman forced to take the place of her twin brother after he fled from his responsibilities.

Now Seb is dealing with the sharp-eyed head of the Mercana Family, Paul Anthony, and dodging assassins bullets with only her bodyguard Cisero to keep her alive.

** Yes, this is totally my riff on Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” **

Downward Spiral

I would never think to lie to anyone and say that I am a happy-go-lucky person… no, I fully admit that I am a terribly moody bitch. But I’m pretty cyclical, so if I time things right I can *fake* it that I’m cheerful most of the time.

Anyways, I’ve noticed the last few days that my taste for life has been degrading rapidly, which is kind of a warning sign that I’m about to go down, down the rabbit hole once again. When I reach my lowest point, about the only thing I have any enthusiasm for is writing–everything else is all just shades of gray. It’s kind of like being a real life zombie. Sure, there’s no craving for brains, but I do shuffle through my days in a mindless stupor.

So there will probably be writing updates here and there, and I am for sure going to make sure I hold to my weekly schedule for “Dragon Knight,” but there’s a good chance that for everything else my contact with the outside world will go dark.

Please do not be offended if I don’t immediately respond to emails or messages. I will try to get back to anyone that messages me, though it might take a little while.
