How I keep track of it all

This is a huge series. I mean, really big.

How do I keep track of many characters, many of whom I will be writing about for their lifetimes (that is, I plan this as a multi-generational series).

A wiki, that's how. I set up a Wiki-Spaces wiki and on it I have all the information about my characters. I have links to pages, I have back story and history and pictures and maps ... it's glorious. It's at my fingertips. And I love it.

After I publish the books, I plan to make the Wiki public, so people can see how all the histories intertwine. For now, here's a look at the landing page for the Wiki. Do you see how there are links to information and a TOC on the side and ...

I have to tell you, this has made all the difference in the world to my writing. Now, right there, are all those scraps of papers that I used to collect to handle the information. It's all right at my fingertips.

Now to get back to the writing! I've been distracted by mysteries this summer, but now fall is around the corner, so I'll be heading back into Dream land.

See you later when I have more to report!

What a surprise -- a 4-star review from RT!

RT (Romantic Times) is one of the Big Review places where small fish like me are seldom reviewed.

So I was flummoxed to see I was reviewed and -- gasp -- I got 4 stars! Click this link to read all about it!

I am so flattered and pleased that someone (1) understood the complexity of the book and (2) wanted to tell people about it!

Woot!

Book 3 is here!

Yep, book 3 of the New Human Intercession is available for your reading pleasure!

This book follows Dru Delaney, a planetary Leader on Delmorna, who has her work cut out for her: she has to save a hidden race of humans from a deadly virus, stabilize her shaky government, thwart a merciless woman’s scheme to take over the leadership, and avoid Jak Exo – her lover, her enemy, and a man-machine ‘blend’. Along the way she may have to fight a war, adopt a small child, be kidnapped and escape … and discover her own humanity among the cloned humans she’s vowed to help.
