Birth of the Kittens
Sometime in 2011, I recall, my oldest daughter Gladiana read a book she really, really liked. Being a dutiful mother-librarian, I helped her find the next one in the series. She absorbed every one of the books by this author she could find. And, because she loves me, and knows I love to read and…

Red Riding Hood
I wrote a grown-up version of the classic fairy tale, where Russe is armed with a shotgun, and the wolf had better watch out… It’s been available for a while, and I have a sequel plotted. I should work on that this summer. A conversation on facebook brought it to mind, so I am sharing…

Writing Action
Working on a scene where our heroes, soaring over the frozen Alaskan landscape, are set upon by either a Roc, or a Thunderbird. They are in a small plane, and I am trying to figure out how to make this work best for our heroes, and my plot. This is not something I am entirely…

Throwing Rocks
I am writing along to Sarah Hoyt’s 13 Weeks to a Novel posts over at PJ Media, and her post for week four is particularly on target for me. How to find the time to write… well, I find it mostly by having little to no free time. Between school, and work, and a long-distance…

This is going to be a short post. I really ought to be writing – well, ok, writing fiction, not blog posts. My day so far has been filled with writing, but for school, and work. I did a little reading, too, in breaks from the writing. One thing I read was Sarah Hoyt’s blog…

For No Reason
Except I’m really tired, and I have a major exam tomorrow, and I worked all weekend, and… A snippet from my work in progress, Pixie Noir. The woman who answered the door was wearing the most amazing shirt. Knitted silk, I think, clung to her like a second skin, and even though it was blue,…

Review: The Dark Lady
Pam Uphoff has created an excellent SF series in the Wine of the Gods, starting with Outcast and Gods. Although it is science fiction, it has a fantasy feel, as the genetically engineered protagonists can manipulate the universe around them in a way that looks like magic. I just recently read the latest, The Dark…

Review: Monster Hunter Legion
When I am eating I always save the best until last. That is the only way to explain why I waited so long to read Monster Hunter Legion. I bought the book months ago, and got distracted with life… I picked it up when Larry Correia had actually come to New Hampshire, so of course…

in angel, angel wings, childhood, family, fantasy, inspirational, motherhood, snow, snow angel, snowflake, wings, writingMy schedule doesn’t give me a lot of play time. Fortunately, some of the things I do and call ‘work’ I also regard as play. This allows me to go off and “play” while still feeling productive. Which isn’t to say that I don’t occasionally goof off and waste time, too. Yesterday was one of…
