Katherine's Curiosities

While EntangledContinua is the home for my major collaboration projects, Curiosities is the clearinghouse for my other, more personal projects. At left are other places you can find me on the web. Below is my CV and available short stories.

Luck for Hire

Eric and I began work on a new world and a new novel.

I'm posting proof-of-concept vignettes and commentary on the process Eric and I engage in at Mr. Luck's very own home on the internet: Luck for Hire.

July 24, 2010 - Sold short story "Breakfast in the Garden" to Bards and Sages Quarterly. The story will appear in the January 2011 issue.

#FridayFlash

06/09/10 - For the past month or so, I've been taking part in #FridayFlash. Writers from around the internet post works of short fiction and share them via the Twitter #FridayFlash hashtag. My stories can be found at my LiveJournal.

My first #FridayFlash, "Wicked Witch for Hire," was chosen by Emma Newman to help promote her narration service. Emma does a wonderful reading!
Please, give it a listen!

Pas de Chat, a serial novel
Updated FREE every Sunday and occasional Wednesdays.

Beginning April 11, 2010, I will post one chapter per week of Pas de Chat. To accommodate easy-to-read chunks, I plan to post every Sunday, but often will split chapters and post half on Sunday and half on Wednesday.

In a Chicago alley, a man is murdered, viciously shredded. The only clue is the woman’s wallet that leads Detective Jason Tobel to Joanne, a former ballet prodigy that has sunk to bartending to make ends meet. He’s not the only one investigating Joanne. Nathan Smith, a PI hired by Joanne’s mother, has finally caught up with her as well. The only thing that stands in their way is Ian Dien, and what Dien is protecting extends far beyond Joanne and the violence that seems to follow her.

Ohio, 1901 - Lucinda Harris had been haunted by childhood tragedy all her life and worked diligently to keep those memories deeply buried. While visiting the ancient manor home of her best friend, she spots a dark stranger one night on the lawn. She finds herself suddenly plunged into a nightmarish world. Has insanity finally taken Lucinda's mind or is it something far more diabolical?

Something is amiss in the Manor, but none of the guests or the servants can pinpoint what it is. Lucinda is acting strangely; the groundskeeper has disappeared; a feeling of gloom hangs over everything. The answer to the mystery seems to lie in a worn journal found buried in the cellar. The entries become stranger and more terrifying as they read on, until it reveals the horrible truth about the Manor. Is there a connection between the two?

None of them could have predicted the strength of the force manipulating them all...or the wrath of a woman they all thought they knew.
