The Last Turkey Morning
No turkeys were harmed in the course of this entire thing. Inconvenienced, maybe, but that’s it. I know you guys are wondering what happened on my last turkey-wrangling day, but it’s entirely anticlimactic. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. The Princess, a little concerned for my safety (or maybe my sanity, since I was returning …

Alice in Cookies
Staggered out of bed this morning to find the Princess had been busy last night after I retired; evening (or very early morning) baking is best in summer. I had three. I don’t feel any taller or smaller, but I suppose the magic needs time to kick in, or the cardamom coffee offset the effects. …

Penultimate Turkey Day
So there I was, amid scurrying rats with an upside-down plastic penguin and a galloping heart, gasping for breath. …maybe I should back up. So, I was taking care of livestock for two separate out-of-town friends. This particular day I’d already whistled a bunch of goats into behaving and had a flock of geese very …

Wrangling Turkey, Redux
Hey guys, you can get the first six chapters of my upcoming September release, Incorruptible, for free right here. Enjoy! Well, I’m awake. The good thing about taking time off is that even a half-day lets me recharge. The bad thing? I get itchy, and resentful that recovery is taking so long, so I do …

Soundtrack Monday: Let Me Down Easy
It’s time for another Soundtrack Monday! It’s Labor Day, so I’m only working a half day, but I’ve been wanting to share this one with you. Graves in Strange Angels had his genesis in several boys I knew in high school. His musical tastes were eclectic, to say the least, but I could always reliably …

COVER REVEAL: Incorruptible
I’ve something special for you guys in lieu of the regular Friday photo post. Feast your eyes upon this, my darlings: Falling was only the beginning… Jenna Delacroix is determined to keep her life as simple as possible. Maybe if she tries hard enough to be normal the nightmares and strange occurrences plaguing her all …

Wrangling Turkey
Thunderstorms swept through at about 3am today, which meant the dogs were off and on my bed, shaking and pressing close to me before overheating, hopping down, and padding into the loo to sprawl on the tile and cool off. Which means I’ve been up since three, and am on my second jolt of coffee. …

No Nap Required
It’s not even 11am and I need a nap. I’m on my second jolt of coffee and have already spent an hour and a half in the car. No nap will be taken today. There’s too much to do, between school starting for the Little Prince and the hour spent in the car daily. It …

Soundtrack Monday: Boy With a Coin
The first scene I ever had of the Gallow & Ragged books was the pike-vs.-knight fight in the beginning of Trailer Park Fae. As with any endeavour involving the Good Folk, music was a necessity, and Robin in particular needed just the right songs. There wasn’t much music for Gallow at first–most of the light …
Highlands Thoughts
I’m considering doing an Indiegogo or a serial run for The Highlands War. It would be nice to get Kaia’s story to a natural resting place before I walk away from it for good. Originally, there were only three books planned–Steelflower, then her adventures in the Highlands, then her return (with Darik) to G’maihallan. The …
