Groundskeeper Tale! Now out…
The second Groundskeeper tale, The Hoodoo that You Do, is now available as a standalone ebook with extended ending. When I wrote the original, for an anthology, I had a wordcount limit, so the ending wrapped up the major plotline, and that was all I had room for. Releasing it again gave me the room…

Books, Books!
First up, the latest in the Postcards series. Postcards from Foolz was prompted during Foolzcon this April. I do most of the illustrations for these, and it is so fun to do the layout and see what stories came from the images I sent out as prompts. Plus, I had a lot of fun with…

The Library Guardian
Asking the hard questions in life: how do you organize your library? I’m pretty confident I want my non-fiction research type books in the office with me. Art books can be in the bedroom where the art desk currently is (until the Little Man moves out and I co-opt his room as a studio, which…

Steam-Powered Postcards and an Open Call
The second of the Postcards anthologies is live! Steam-Powered Postcards has twenty-two fifty-word stories, each of them facing their prompt image that inspired the author to create them. I had a hand in many of the illustrations for this book, and I’m delighted at how the entries turned out. For one thing, there’s a story…

With a Twist
I’m in this anthology! I had an absolute blast writing the story for it. Jim Curtis gave a lot of leeway to the authors – just take a trope that may be old and tired, then give it a hard twist. I opted to speculate about what could happen if the Chosen One of Prophecy…

Book Review: Texas Fruit & Vegetable Gardening
Mom sent me this book when I first bought the house here in Tiny Town, actually she sent me a few gardening books, which I deeply appreciate! As I’d decided not to garden in a big way last year, but to get a feel for my land, and start building up to the garden this…

The Squeaks Caper
A few years ago, at the height of the nonsense, a friend was sad. Heck, the world was sad. Lawdog, like me, has a bit of the clown in him, so he was doing his part to entertain and amuse the world at large. I was doing art every day, and he’d been posting funny…

The Squeaks Caper
Coming soon. Very soon, as in it should be live on Friday. This is the fourth in the illustrated books I’ve been working on with Lawdog, the third in the Africa tales, which are now linked in a series called Lawdog in Color. They are sort-of coloring books, but mostly just fun illustrations, verging on…

Book Review: Red Wolf
What the heck. I stopped doing book reviews a long time ago, and for good reasons. But this author needs more attention on her stuff because it’s good. Really, really good, and I want her to write more. So for purely selfish reasons… Red Wolf is, so far, two novellas that are either science fiction…
