News and Updates:
November 18th 2007: I have been extremely lazy this year, and I have been through a lot. I have been through a time when I couldn't write, not really writer's block but a horrible vegetable-like state induced by medication. I am better now, the medication is reduced, but I still can't see myself being able to write like before. My current work is of lower quality and, personally, I find it boring. I would love to share it with the world, but I'm hoping I could have it published when it's finished. When I shall have collected enough rejection slips I'll post it here for all my fans (that's 5 to 7 people, you know…) to enjoy. I'm working on three novels at the same time because it gets boring if I only work on one, but I'm trying my best to progress with the first one, which is already on page 61. I expect it to be finished in the summer of 2008 and if no agent likes it in the following year, it will be serialized here. If, on the other hand, my work gets published, you’ll get a teaser chapter, a synopsis and a link to where you can buy the book from. Thank you all for your patience.
January 1st 2007: Another one of the samples is added, this time in Romanian. It's the first chapter of Harieta Olaru si piatra ponce. Enjoy. Only two beginnings left to add. For those who know what The Life and Memories of mary, Available Blonde and The Case of the Missing Object are about, you may start voting.
September 24th 2006: I have added the poll and one of the samples as a work in progress. There are three more samples that I need to add, and I shall do so in the following days. I must add that one of the titles is in Romanian, and the book it represants will be written entirely in this language. Also I cannot guarantee that these books, once finished, will be available on the site. I still have hopes of having them published and putting up a link to Amazon.com instead.
September 23rd 2006: I have been linked. My dear friend Ela is directing the readers of her blog to this site, and I realize it's pretty much dead. So I am planning a big update soon. But since I have no finished pieces, I shall make a poll instead. I am currently studying French for work, but once I'm done with that I shall get back to my abandoned literary projects, and you'll get to vote which one I finish (and hopefully publish) first. I shall put up soon a page with samples from all these projects and the poll. Stay tuned!
September 20th 2005: It has been long, hasn't it? Now that I've got my life more or less sorted out, I'm finally updating this site, including the FAQ section (no big changes there). And because I don't have anything new to upload just yet, I'm adding my last winter's Gryphonwood contest winner, Sir Joseph's Choice, in the Finished stories section.
December 27th 2004: Dear Alex, this is a Christmas present for you. It is a little late, I know, and it's
not quite finished, but I was thinking of you when I wrote it, which
is why I decided, against all the rules I've laid down for my Bitches'
Club series, to have someone “pair up” with… a secretary! Best wishes,
D.
In other news, the latest issue of Gryphonwood
Magazine has been online for a while, and since I'm the winner
of their writing contest, I thought I'd let you know. The only reason
why I don't write more fantasy is that my friends are down-to-earth
respectable people who wouldn't be caught dead reading anything that's
not realistic, and when one does catch them at it, they immediately
reply that they didn't like it one bit.
Leaving so soon? Oh my, I must be a terrible host! Well, it's been a pleasure having you here, and I hope you've had a good time. Do come back soon, I don't think there'll be anything new here, but I just love company.
