Short Story Marathon

I've said here before how I (currently) love writing short stories. There's that race against word count to get everything into it, the plot, the development, the sex, the resolution. I'm in the midst of detailing each chapter of Dark Desire of the Druids III: Desert & Destiny and need a break. I love the story but the minutia before I even begin writing is driving me bonkers.

I think this weekend I'll take to finish my Wicked Seduction series. I have 1/4 of Starlet finished, just need to layer it with atmosphere, and hope to have it all finished by tonight. I'll edit it next week, after I let it simmer a bit.


So this weekend I'll do Passion for Fashion (1950s) and Cherrie on Top (present) then move onto the next in my Four Birds series.

Good luck with all your stories! I'm having fun writing short stories between my novels. I now have a vampire story I'm polishing up and getting ready to submit, plus the anthology story already contracted. And I'm writing the first draft of a short Civil War Christmas story.

I can't wait to read your short stories, Susan. I loved Eternity Waits. Is this vampire story related to that one? Or a stand alone?

No, this is a brand new creation. The hero is an ex-Catholic priest who is attacked by a vampire and stumbles onto the farm of a Confederate soldier's widow, who takes him in. The vampire returns for him and ends up stalking them both.
