1. Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you've worked with and why.

I decided to be very liberal with this and deal with several series, the ones I still believe can make it some day.

The Ties that Bind & The Red Skies universes I worked on with evil_little_dog because they're such character driven work and I love the characters in both. I did my own spin off of Ties for my very first nano (which yeah I STILL need to complete how many years later, pathetic). I still have a fond spot for Makai

Killian & Taz in Splinter of Cold Iron and Silver. It's my werewolf YA in Madison WI. I'm still slowly working on that.

Machiavelli Moon, the first novel I wrote that I seriously thought could sell. Maddelena is probably past her prime. I think my own laziness might have cost me a shot with this one

My latest nano the steampunk mystery, Under the Torn Sky. Placid especially is a vivid character

And some of the m/m erotica ones, Riding with Strangers and Snowbound (sexy times threesome) really stand out because I don't want them to be one shots. I want to go back in and play with them more. that's saying something
