Dark Rose

Thanks to the sharp eye of Natalie Sin, who saw and read my story before I knew it had been published (yes, I'm that much of an airhead), I'm pleased to announce everyone can now read Dark Rose over at Yellow Mama.

This was written back in early March 2008, and has been through about nine different versions. With the help of The Prose Nest critique group (and Pharo in particular) over at Authors by Design it grew and slowly took the shape you pretty much now see over at Yellow Mama. It had been rejected three times before it found its home.

I gotta say, I love the picture Cindy assigned to it. Jeff Karnick kicks ass!

  1. It was a particularly great picture. Did you get a look at the illustration for mine? There's a dragon! : )

  5. Meant to say this before the crazy weekend swept me away-- that was a fun read, with some fascinating characters. I like the weird power struggle, and the unexpected way you balanced (or, er, didn't balance!) them. The picture was totally perfect, too.

  6. BT, nice to see that Dark Rose finally found a home!

    The picture is fitting, but not perfect. Rose has raven curls, and the girl in the picture is blonde. Other than that, it's great!
