All the Things
February is one of my worst months, usually. I can’t say this year was completely different, but it was different. Worst in losing the dear doggo who has just always been there, breathing on my leg while I was trying to write, tripping me in the shadows of a night, following me with all the…

Chat and Support!
So here’s a way you can chat with me – the BroadCast is going to be running at 6 pm Central (every Wednesday!) and I’ll be in the live chat during the episode. But if you can’t find it in time, then it’s available to watch, or listen, on any podcast service you prefer now. …

Cover Reveal: But Not Broken
Work on the next PTSD anthology is continuing, and we are on track for a publication date of Valentine’s Day. I’d been hoping it would be possible, and now that we’re into February, I can say it for sure! This means, of course, that we finally have a cover! I chose to design it with…

Bibliophilia: Companion Library
For the love of old books, I’ve done many things. For these, it was simple enough… a dollar and fifty cents, plus the time and energy to bring them 500 miles home with me, and the shelf space to keep them. It was, perhaps, a silly thing to do. You see, I don’t intend to…

Pushing Books
Books by friends and fellow authors that I think my readers may also enjoy. Firstly, is this cover not pretty? Why yes, I did make that! Kindred, by Kelly Grayson, is a riveting read. In the Dakota Territory, a U.S. Marshal haunted by his past works desperately to discover who is behind a weaponized smallpox…

Christmas Books
For Christmas this year, I got a little gift certificate from work, to spend at Amazon. What did I want? Well, books! I wrote about this a week or so ago, how my initial foray into selecting a few fun reads was stymied by the state of anthropology these days. I weep for it… but…

A Trio of Reviews
This was a good week for reviews! Jim McCoy gave Fantasy Treehouse Art & Architecture 5 out of 5 Swamp Chickens (a joke that will make more sense if you’ve read the book). I was tickled he wanted to review the art book, it’s out of his usual zone. If you enjoy fantasy and science…

A Crow Moon Rises
I’m slowly putting together the next book. This one is going to be a little different. Like Warp Resonance, it will be a collection of short stories rather than a single work. However, Crow Moon will be focused on my fantasy works. The stories will range from romantic to very dark, and I’m arranging their…

Tanager’s Fledglings on Sale
You can pick up Tanager on sale for a dollar through Nov 30th. Tanager’s Fledglings is my space opera with a puppy in it, and it was fun to write. I’m currently working on the second book in the planned trilogy, and have just been talking with an editor who was kind enough to tell…

The Cozy Book List
It’s been a while since I made a book list. There are reasons, one being that this isn’t a fast process. The other is that due to the algorithms of ‘social’ media, I can no longer toss out the question of ‘what do you like to read?’ and get more than a hundred enthusiastic responses.…

Cozy Reads
It’s that season here in my neck of the woods. Leaves are falling and so are the temperatures. I’m inclined to dig out the fuzzy throw blankets and keep them handy for the moments where I have the actual time to curl up and read, with a mug of tea next to me. Which got…

Eat This While You Read That: Joelle Presby
It’s rare I can time a ETWYRT post with a book launch, but The Debare Snake Launcher came out this week, and thanks to a timely author reminder, I have the recipe for you to enjoy while you read your fresh new book! The book opens with food, but not the stuff you’d willingly eat.…
