  • A Lovely Review

    A Lovely Review

    And not one I wrote, but rather written on Vulcan’s Kittens by Margot St. Aubin, who gave a fascinating perspective to my work that I hadn’t even fully acknowledged while writing it. I’m not Catholic, but my background is deeply religious, and I’m certain that C.S. Lewis’s Narnia lent a lot to my writing, especially…

    Young Science Fiction

    I’m working on a short story today, about a boy and his dog… and the boy’s spaceship. Then Dave Freer posted this: Zamzummims, where he laments the loss of Science Fiction Giants in the world of the young. We need writers who can give our children wonder, adventure, and a solid science in their fiction.…

    Life’s an Idea

    I didn’t blog yesterday because I had a day out with my sweety, and we took a long leisurely drive in the countryside. I really enjoy those, the more back roads the better, and the ability to explore, have no time pressure, and just ramble is my idea of a great day. We came across…

    Pressing Restart

    I’m trying to get my writing restarted after the move. This morning I had an amusing moment when I opened my email and found that Amazon was recommending Vulcan’s Kittens to me as something I might enjoying buying. I went on to read Sarah Hoyt’s ongoing series about a novel in 13 weeks, which if…

  • Birth of the Kittens

    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…

    The Proof is in…

    I got my proof copy of the print edition of Vulcan’s Kittens in the mail yesterday! It looks good, except for the spine, which has issues. It’s Shiny and looks like a real book, imagine that. Meanwhile, the ebook version for Kindle is available. I will play with the spine and make that lettering look…

  • Snippet: Vulcan’s Kittens

    So, I’m still not going to snippet from Pixie Noir, although I did write 830 words on it yesterday (in 40 minutes! I can do this…) and will hopefully finish it within the timeline. The reason I’m going to snippet from something else is, this one will be published soon. And I’m that kind of…
