I’ve posted on here recently as to what becomes of the “Children of the Storm”, from baby Gunston’s romance when he comes of age to Fintan and Fia deciding to end their lives together, complete with quite a few ideas as to some cool locations. … Continue readingWorldbuilding Under the Midnight Sun
I thought I was chasing a snowstorm that magical Christmas Night in 1941, but I found far more than the rarity that is a white Christmas on the Oregon coast. A Christmas Day out on the town in Astoria, flakes dancing in the multicolored lights … Continue readingThe Christmas Rocket
For the tornado season part of my storyline, I’ve gotten the idea that during one of the great outbreaks in May, the triplets-cum-rock-stars will take their storm-chasing concert convoy (yes, that’s a thing in this story’s universe) to the north, tracking a strong tornado into … Continue readingOut of the Medicine Line, and Into the Shadow World
My mind once again turns in recent days to brainstorming for my ever-sprawling Great Christmas Blizzard story. I was wondering what sort of festivities Decca and company might have in Nashville for Independence Day 2045, and then it hit me: while it’s an obvious idea … Continue readingTornado Party

After all, the heart of it is Christmas Eve during … Continue readingA Wandering Soul in the Wild Hunt?
