Books ‘n Stuff
Not my books. But the covers are my work, and the books are pretty good if I do say so. You should check them out! Shikari by Alma Boykin Adventure! Exploration! Martinus the m-dog! Lost cities and conspiracies! Strange creatures! And homework. Shikhari, the most-distant human colony world, home to the Staré and Auriga “Rigi”…

Some Days…
Some days are like that. Some weeks are a blur. Some months make you wonder where they went. Some years are gone in a flash. It seems the old I get, the faster time flies past. I can’t believe we’re more than half-way through this year. I can’t believe that the new school year is…

Python and other snakes
Mornings here are sometimes a bit chaotic. One kid leaves early on the bus, one leaves late, and the other never goes away. This means that I’m up, early, and then it’s two hours before I have time to think for more than ten minutes at a time. Yes, I know that’s plenty of time…

Bookshelves
I’ve always had a lot of books, ever since I can remember. So did my parents, so I grew up surrounded by books. Where there are books, there need to be bookshelves, or some way to hold them up in a fashion that leaves them easy to access. Piles on the floor, chairs, bed… while…

Just in time for Christmas I’ve released the entire trilogy of Pixie Noir, Trickster Noir, and Dragon Noir under one cover. It’s just shy of 300K words and it’s perfect for gift-giving. One book with three books inside, plus an Author’s Foreward about the writing of the series, and a teaser in the back for…
