  • Good Monday

    Good Monday

      And a good Monday to you, my friend. May it be a productive one, and over quickly.  I have a couple of things this morning, but I don’t have a lot of time to write much… because I am writing. I broke the long dry spell of three months (that’s a long spell for…

  • Help a writer out!

    Help a writer out!

      So! A chance to contribute your ideas for a survival on a hostile planet. The protagonist is being dropped in, has a fair amount of cargo space, is being offered more. What should she stuff into this new space? She is potentially going to be alone for years, and can farm/garden once she had…

  • Book Review: Academic Magic

    Book Review: Academic Magic

      Academic Magic by Becky Jones is a solid debut novel. I enjoyed the read, and would recommend it if you enjoy scenic campuses, academic politics, and talking squirrels. What? Why not? My alma mater has a clade of luxuriantly plump tree dwellers, so I immediately pictured one of those chonky bois as the squirrel…

    Sowing Seeds

      Don’t forget! This evening, over on my channel, I’ll be chatting live at 7:30 pm EST. I’ve been told the most reliable way to remember is to click the notification bell when you subscribe to the channel. Up to you – if you follow that link you will find all the older videos I’ve…

  • Guest Post: Jello, Amie!

    Guest Post: Jello, Amie!

      This post is from Amie Gibbons, my friend and fellow author, who just launched another book! I have a little reflected glow of pride, here, since I did the cover for her. Amie is prolific and a wonderfully fun author, and she wanted to celebrate her launch. Since I’m not able to do Eat…

    Folklore, Fantasy, and Fairy Tales

      I have a guest post over at Jimbo’s Awesome SFF Book Reviews. I delve into the research behind The East Witch, and indeed, all of my fantasy. You should go check it out!  With all of my fiction, though, whichever world, I start out by reading fairy tales and folklore and mythology, to use…

  • Odd Prompts: Wonderland

    Odd Prompts: Wonderland

        I will sometimes get little flashes of fiction, scenes without any real setting or place. This one, I know belongs to Wonderland. But I don’t know where it goes in the story. My muse is being shockingly reticent these last couple of months.  *** “Hey, Carroll…”  The captain had opened the door to…

  • Apricot Cheese Scones

    Apricot Cheese Scones

      My sister asked me when I posted a photo of these, ‘are they dry and heavy?’  No they are not! My scones rarely are, unless I make them super dense by adding bits and nuts and stuff. These are, I suspect because of the cheese, light and tender even for my scones.  I was…

  • Papery Feeling

    Papery Feeling

      It’s alive! But it can’t hear you… To understand that joke, you’ll need to read the bit Jimmie wrote about Frankenstein’s Monster in One Hungry Werewolf. It’s coming soon! January 31 the ebook and paper will be available to buy. In the meantime, if you are so inclined, you can pre-order the ebook now.…

  • Sunday Beautiful

    Sunday Beautiful

      It’s supposed to be a day of rest. I’d like to say I’m spending it thusly, but my son has the house turned upside-down to get his bedroom reorganized, and since this involved moving a part of the family library…  But yesterday I did stop and spend some chilly moments in contemplation of beauty. …

  • Neutral Good Elf Ranger

    Neutral Good Elf Ranger

    Last night, because couldn’t sleep, I wound up ploughing through a very long personality quiz to determine what kind of character I’d be if I played Dungeons & Dragons. Which I don’t, although I’ve always wanted to. I was amused at the end result, and I thought I’d share.  Let me just say here there’s…

  • TGIF

    TGIF

      I’m writing this ahead of time, so one presumes that I did, in fact, make it until Friday. If not, well…  I’m laughing. As much as this last week or so has been interesting in that I’ve been attempting to do the work of four, I’ve been too busy to worry about much of…
