October Writing and November Plans

Obviously the main writing news this month is that I published A Garter as a Lesser Gift! Still tossing around the idea of a Lancelot/Guinevere/Arthur World War II OT3… My latest thought is “What if Gwen works for the SOE and she helps get Lancelot out of France after his plane goes down?” Further thought, what if she works for the SOE Sorceress Division, coworkers include Morgan La Fay and Nimue? Might have to do a bit of research on the SOE, but then again Arthurian SOE may have the same extremely loose relationship to fact as Arthurian RAF.

Anyway, as a result of trauma and also Fate Gwen and Lancelot fall into each other’s arms after this, cheating angst (I’m afraid with this particular OT3 cheating angst is inevitable), BUT eventually they figure it out, in part because the cheating angst is 100% in Gwen and especially Lancelot’s heads? Art is fine with it. Art is fine with everything. Art loves them both so much and just wants them to be happy and if they want him to bow out so they can go live in a cottage in the Cotswolds–

Gwen and Lancelot: NO! We love you! We would die without you!

However this perhaps needs more time to marinate and in the meantime you will be SHOCKED to hear that I’m at it again with Sleeping Beauty, now tentatively entitled The Sleeping Soldier, now also enriched with chapters in Russell POV, which I like to imagine will make the book work but who even knows anymore? Faith is not the absence of doubt, but the will to keep on trying despite very good reasons to doubt…
