The Bauble Pile

This is Lale Baize aka Coco Reed, writer and once co-author of Gamble with Fate. As of now, this is the first step to putting my goodies back online. Stay for a bit and enjoy what you find.

Happy New Year!

S Novym Godom! <-- That's me saying Happy New Year in Russian, but with English-speakers in mind. :P

Hey look! I updated before the end of the year! Huzzah!

I am getting a lot of editing done. Woo! I'm going to be writing too, as soon as I update this and my lj, if it lets me on. Mayhaps the coming year will be awesome and productive since I am being awesome and somewhat productive right now.

See you guys on the flip-side!

The End

2011 is nearly over! What do I have to show for it? Well, not too much...but I did get a few things done. However, I need to get my booty in gear on quite a few things. Which brings me to my point of this entry.

Things Getting Done:

 - AIF is about complete on Fiction Press. I will leave it up until it is published, I think. The new edition is going to be off the chain. New title, new content--wow, guys, this is becoming what I had always envisioned. The new title is something I've mentioned before, but this is the first time telling of new content. Whole new chapters, filled in plot-holes and more interaction. Seriously, when this is published fans should definitely procure a copy.

- Almost all of the Lyre Westreach stories have been edited for upload onto Adult Fan Fiction, just need to upload... Speaking of Westreach, a new story will be added that wasn't on GWF. Personally, it's my favourite and I think harkens back to my earlier stories of him when he was darker and not just Demian's sugar daddy.

- I'm picking At Life's End back up, finally. For those that don't remember, sorry. I only uploaded one or two chapters of it. It's a shape-shifter story. Anyway, I'm writing on that, will finish and send off to query.

- Trivial Visions, sequel to AIF, will be finished and sent off to query. I think I'll release a sample chapter sometime, but it will be further down the road in 2012, maybe even 2013, depending on how the next year treats me. Here's hoping it's kind! *fingers crossed*

- Blood Pudding should be getting written on. Hopefully I can finish this. Maybe I need to watch some K-Drama to get me in the mood...

- World Weaver is back under the knife. I'm coming at it with a different approach this time. Thanks to people like Stephenie Meyer and the Casts, any love I may have had for teenage heroines has died of vampire-inflicted VD (seriously, this is one of many reasons why slash is more fulfilling for me to write.) Thanks. I think I am going to make it more steam punk. It makes since, considering Alistair and everything...

End list

I need to read some, write some and then perhaps I can publish some. :) If I don't write again in the week, see you all in the next year. :D

Yaya, It's December!

I don't really get why Livejournal keeps me from my blog, but whatever. I suppose that it's sort of good. Otherwise I couldn't be bothered to update this bitch. So what's going on with me? Well, I am editing and about finished with some test runs for one of my novels and it's ever closer to being ready to send in for a query. Woo! Oh, and as for free stuff, I am going to publish my Lyre Westreach stories online. Probably just on Adult Fan Fiction because they tend to border PWP. You guys know the drill, it's under "Coco Reed."
