Just Released: GrimJustin3: DeTained

The third and final installment of the GrimJustin series is now available at Changeling Press!

Here is the blurb:

GenAlt -- superhuman, super strong. High risk status.

Aboard the GrimJustin, Trent O'Blak hides his identity as a retired GenAlt soldier, until he is called upon to safely retrieve the head scientist responsible for the alteration and subsequent pain of thousands of others like him.

MedTech Lilian Oser leads a quiet and sensible life aboard GrimJustin until Trent is called to Arius Prime and the old need for revenge burns through every cell of her now strong body.

She will get to Arius Prime. She will take her revenge. And she will prove to Trent that she can handle anything the big GenAlt can dish out.

GrimJustin3: DeTained

I finally have a cover for the third installment of the series and not a moment too soon, cause its released this Thursday!!!

I'm very happy with this one-- as my editor said: lots of emotion and lots of hot action. What else does a romance need?

Now i need to do some edit magic to Amethyst moon and start on Urban Myth, my vampire martial arts thriller which I'm really excited about.

Dream Fighting

I had a very strange dream the other day.

I was on a street, carrying my laptop under my arm. As I walked past a mean looking individual, he flicked glowing sigarette ash at me and it burned my skin.

I promptly called the guy an asshole, and he promptly started to advance towards me with full intendion to do more damage then the stil burning ash.

And that's when it hit me -- I can't fight him with my laptop at my side! I can't put the thing down, cause his budies will steal it. And I can't fight one handed -- I'm good, but I ain't Neo! (I'm really NOT that good, since I haven't technically practiced martial arts in over five years.. Cardio Kickboxing doesn't count)

Anyway, I woke up with a major revelation: fighting one handed is exteremely difficult and I need to remember to allow my characters to run around empty handed otherwise they would get the crap kicked out of them.

New Website is up!

As I mentioned in the previous blog, I'm procrastinating on Amethyst Moon. In the process of it, I redesigned my website. Web Dev is actually what I do when I'm not writing and I'm my worst client.

Nevertheless its up and I'm quite happy with it. Check it out at www.fionajayde.com

Joy Of Procrastination

I'm in the middle of editing a new story I'm writing called Amethyst Moon. I'm quite happy with the idea -- two thiefs fighting for control in the most sensual of ways. And yet I find myself avoiding my keyboard.

I redesigned my website. I did this blog. I cleaned my bathroom.

I'm done with the story, and have to do my usual three passes of editing, and that's what scares me. I write fast. I vomit words onto the page and then have to face them once I'm done. Sometimes its good. Most of the time, its complete crap and only there to move the story along and like the jewel in my story, needs to be polished so the facets can shine.
