Christina’s July Update
I’m still trying to get my house sold/rented, so cleaning the house out has been taking up a lot of my free time, so very little writing has been done of late.
My current projects are still the Rogue Mage Role-playing Game (http://www.faithhunter.net/wp/the-rogue-mage-series/rogue-mage-rpg/) and converting SpirosBlaak to Savage Worlds (aka “savaging” it). Rogue Mage is in editing and will follow with some more playtesting. Savage SB is creation/playtesting.
I’ve also been doing an editing assist for Emily Care Boss on a project called Role Playing Girl, which will be anthology by and about women in the rpg field. Some more info can be found at this site: http://rpgirl-zine.blogspot.com. Emily is a game designer. She’s written a game called Breaking the Ice that I need to get my grubby hands on (need to check the bank account–may have spent too much on Troll Lord Games’ stuff to buy right now!) 
This is just a fun project. I’m always curious about how other women got their start in this field. Personally, I blame my big brother for introducing me to gaming. I became so obsessed with it that I just had to write this stuff (not that it pays very well, mind you).
On another note, my romance novel, Leaf Letters, is going to be published by Sugar & Spice Press as Christina Lynne Ashley. I’m getting a different web site up (www.christinalynneashley.com) for that AKA. If you are interested in following my fiction-writing career, please sign up for my blog when it’s available. I hope to be making my personal dent in this field for years to come. I’ll be trying my hand at more contemporary stuff, but also paranormal romance, space opera romance, and some romantica.
Final note this week: The senational Miz Faith Hunter (www.faithhunter.net) has a new novel out in the urban fantasy field: Skinwalkers. Go out and get yourself a copy. What are you waiting for? DO IT NOW!
So, what’s on your mind this month? What are you up to?
Thanks so much for your help with RPGirl, Christina! We’ll debut it at GenCon, at Pirate Jenny (piratejenny-rpgs.blogspot.com/), a booth with a majority of women game designers. I’m excited to spread the word about projects like your Faith Hunter game and others put out by women this year. And meet some more of the women from the zine!
I LOVE your cover, girlfriend! Do you have a release date yet? You know I’m going to hound you until you get one so mez can buy yur book.
Also, I don’t know if you know this or not, but Samhain is looking for Space Operas for an upcoming anthology they’re putting out. I’m not sure when the dates are because I suck at writing sci-fi. Also, have you heard about Nocturne Bites. Again, they’re looking for short stories, but it could be a great way to break into Harlequin.
Thanks, Marcia!
I just turned in my edits on the book. I’m not sure how long it takes to publish after that, but I will ask and let you know.
I did read about the Samhain Space Opera thing, but it is due this weekend, I believe. I’ve had too much going on to try for it. They have something else going for November. I do want to try my hand at a Nocturne bite. I’m trying to get myself back into writing mode now. Dealing with trying to clean out and sell a house in the upper part of SC is kicking my butt. We have it on the market now, but we still have a building to clean out. Not looking forward to that, but it has to be done. Hopefully, it won’t be this weekend that we deal with it, though. I’m ready for some rest! Then I want to start tackling the writing projects!
