  • Mingling Mythology

    I’ve had people comment many times on the way I blend different mythos into a unified whole, and I thought I’d ramble on about how and why I do that. First of all, let me say that I am in no way a scholar of myth. I have read a lot, and continue to do…

  • Launch Day!

    Launch Day!

    It’s official, Trickster Noir is available for purchase. Print, ebooks for kindle, nook, and more, all up and ready to buy. If you enjoyed Pixie Noir, you will enjoy this tale of what comes after that story closed. I feel a little awkward talking about my own book, so hopefully a few fans will make…

    It’s a Book

    Trickster Noir has arrived early! You don’t mind, do you? Look, spiffy Amazon cover linky: and it is live at Barnes & Nobles if you prefer epub format. The print edition will be live later this week, I think, and it will show at at iBooks and Kobo sometime soon. The timing on those is…

  • Monday Morning Musings

    Monday Morning Musings

    I have been allowed to muse at length on scat, parasites, and how they create a fine metaphor not only for the Hugo tempest in a teacup, but also life in general, over at According to Hoyt. I’m putting this here to hopefully remember and explore when I have more time… it has literally been…

  • Cover Art: Trickster Noir

    Cover Art: Trickster Noir

    I have known pretty much from the beginning that the cover artwork I created for Trickster Noir wasn’t the final edition. I did the eyes because I needed to have a cover for the Dean Wesley Smith cover design workshop I was going through, and my first option, an image of Bella, was beyond my…

  • Trickster Noir: Snippet 11

    Ooops! I’m really really late with this post. I can say I was working on the new artwork for Trickster Noir, as I will be proofing the print copy in a couple of weeks, and that takes me an age. I can tell you that it is a gorgeous day here in Ohio, our first…

    Trickster Noir: Snippet 10

    It is finally spring break! Which means I will bury myself in editing Trickster at long last, and have it to my editor by the end of the week. Fingers crossed that all goes well. I celebrated my break beginning by writing a short story Friday afternoon, which was a fun surprise. My brain is…

    My search for a little car to replace the one I was rearended in continues. This weekend it is eating my life. Another snippet closer to publication date! I still have a lot of work to do, the beta reports are largely in, and after the car thing is handled, I can focus on making…

  • Moving Right Along

    Moving Right Along

    I’m trying, as always, to keep my life scheduled and ordered… Oh, who am I kidding? It’s chaos, sorted by the pattern of a given day, and always subject to upheaval. Here on the blog, I’m going to give you an idea of what to expect, so if you only drop in for writing/publishing info,…
