Alphonse Mucha: Art Nouveau
I’ve always loved the art nouveau period, more than the cleaner modernistic lines of art deco. But I learned things about Alphonse Mucha reading this article, that I did not know. That, for instance, he was killed while being interrogated by Nazis. Anyway, here’s an overview of his life and work, and how he…

New Release: Supernatural Streets
Hot Electrons! Get them while they’re still smoking! Supernatural Streets is finally out! There will be a lot of good reading in this one for you. 14 Urban Fantasy Authors, some of them names you will recognize…. And one of my Amaya Lombard tales, picking up where I left off with Possum…

A Temporary Sacrifice
The First Reader this morning suggested I blog about baking. As I was pre-coffee, I wasn’t sure what he was thinking, but then he read something to me. A post he’d made a year ago today on social media, referencing the hardships and trials of living with a baker, and having to sample her…

Happy Monday
I’m sitting here, holding my socks in one hand and coffee in the other… how am I typing, you ask? Well, I keep putting my socks down and sipping my coffee and touching the keyboard and repeating it all very very quickly. Not really. It just feels like that after this weekend. You know…

Drop a Pebble in the Drug Vat…
The repercussions from this could be… interesting. Don’t get me wrong. I’m actually in favor of this concept (more work for me and my ilk), but it’s so vague there is going to be a lot of difficulty figuring it out. And the potential ripple effect will be disruptive, to put it politely. The…

Ad Abstractum
I’d apologize for being busy, but I’m not gonna. I’m not sorry. Busy is good, for me. There’s a fine balance between too busy, and just busy enough. I’m wandering back and forth across that line. Sometimes multiple times on any given day. There’s a line in one of the Avengers movies where Bruce Banner…

The Mouse Climbs!
The Violet Mouse is currently the top new release in short science fiction and fantasy reads. I have the best readers. You guys are awesome! I’m so tickled this story is climbing up the ranks, and honestly, I never expected a short to do this well. I was hoping to give my long-suffering and…

Bibliophilia: Encyclopedias
I don’t know about you, but I have fond memories of encyclopedia sets from a very early age. Mom and Dad had a set of World Book encyclopedias – long gone, I’m afraid. My grandmother, who I spent quite a lot of time with as a child, had a Children’s Book set that may…

A Muddy Plot
I’m starting first-round edits on The East Witch. That should eat my entire attention for the next… a while. It’s going to take a while. So today I thought I’d share a blast of the past, originally published on Mad Genius Club in 2016. An exercise in plotting a story, via real life events.…

Silver Linings
July is drawing to a close, and we have passed the halfway mark of 2020. This is going to be a year we all remember in different ways, for different reasons… but we will remember it. Memorable isn’t always a kind appellation. I’m thinking about this as I am relaxed and happy and sleepy…

New Release: The Violet Mouse
It’s alive! The Violet Mouse is a story born out of conversations in molecular biology labs, and human nature, and, well… You’ll see. Sometimes the imagination of the reader is far better than anything I could write. But you should start here, with The Violet Mouse.

ETWYRT: Amie Gibbons
This time, she’s back with a new book and a Southern feast! Amie’s newest is out, and she came asking me if I’d do Pulled Pork, biscuits, mashed potatoes, and green beans to go along with the Southern flavor of her story. The First Reader heard about this and ‘yes, please, do it soon?’…
