Road Trip Wednesday: Irene’s Stache Stash
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Sorry for the lack of teaser yesterday, guys. I was pretty busy with work and querying and just wasn’t able to get anything up on time. But luckily, YA Highway’s Road Trip Wednesday offers me the perfect opportunity for a little bit of a belated tease! Because today’s question is, “What does your character hide [...]

Qwery Qwednesday
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Evening everybody. I’ve calmed down a bit since yesterday. See? Part of it (a Large and Significant part?) is exhaustion. Over the past twenty-four hours or so, I took my manuscript through Round 1 of a serious thrashing editing. It’s now with betas (hi, guys), and I’ve promised myself not to touch it for at [...]

Teaser Tuesday: Oh my god, guys, I’m hyper!
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Oh my God, guys! I have been incredibly busy! As you know, I recently moved. And so we’ve been getting settled, constructing Swedish furniture, reducing the number of cardboard boxes that surround us. And, on top of that, I’ve been writing! In fact, I finished the first draft of SEAS RUN DRY! (Final word count, [...]

Teaser Tuesday: Insert Joke about Wetness HERE
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
I’m getting close to the end of my first draft of SEAS RUN DRY. I’m a little unsure as to how to proceed from here with teasers–there’s a lot of material I could share that would be dangerously spoileriffic. I might start teasing other projects, or maybe a trunked short story or two (any preferences, [...]

For this week’s teaser, I’m posting the second half of my mermaid folktailtale. You can read the first part here. (Teaser removed)

What’s that you say? That it’s Tuesday? Did you bring your coat? Oh yes, right. Teaser time. Irene and Loril (previously) haven’t found his dad yet–but they have found what seems to be his brother. Under a less-than-savory pretext, they manage to get themselves invited to his home. (Teaser removed)

Phoebe Talking about Painting Things Phoebe Eats (among other things)
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
I finished this painting a few nights ago. I was working on it, very sporadically, for probably about six months. Still, I’m pretty happy with the result. It’s based on a photo from a book I got from a used book sale–Foods of the World: Cooking of the British Isles. All the photos are like [...]

Merteaser Mertuesday: The Merman Problem
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Today’s teaser explains some of the mechanics and biology of my mermaids. I have to admit that I winced a bit when I read this excerpt from Hannah Moskowitz’s blog from her current work-in-progress, which also features a merman, and raises similar questions of biology. But, hell, if you’re writing about mermen that do it, [...]

Teaser Tuesday: I’ve Got a Secret (I Can’t Tell You!)
Posted by Phoebe | Filed under Uncategorized
Today’s SEAS RUN DRY teaser comes at a crucial moment in the manuscript. Things have been going pretty well for Loril and Irene: they’ve kissed, spent the night holding one another, and have gone for sushi. But at the end of their sushi date, it starts to rain, and Loril’s hand is forced. The time [...]
