Crepuscular Book
I’m definitely going to finish Jeremy Gallow. From here the book will only get faster, and the zero draft will be incredibly messy, but at least it will be done. This book has been waiting for its time patiently for a couple years, and I’ll be relieved to get it out of my head. Of […]

The Corral
There’s a new chapter of Selene up today, and a short announcement: regular weekly posting will resume in December. Here, have something different: Writers that draw primarily on the imagination rather than on observation have to be careful. A string of strange events soon becomes meaningless, unconvincing and of no interest, however brilliant the individual […]

Idiot Repetition? I’m Your Girl.
Last weekend I took my first piano lesson. After being told I wasn’t musical all during my childhood, I was afraid I wouldn’t even be teachable–but the instructor assures me that yes, I am, and I’ll just need practice. Loads and loads of practice. This I can do. Throwing myself at something repeatedly until it […]

SquirrelMath
Soon I’ll tell you how this little bastard resurrected himself. But for now, I’ll just show you him doing mathematics during a melee. (Look, just don’t ask. I’ll explain later…)

Home Ec
Home ec classes used to be pretty cool. Then, the food industry happened. The convenience food industry that’s so powerful and entrenched today was just taking root in the 1950s. And as it began to aggressively market its products to a growing US middle class, it faced “one real obstacle,” Moss writes: the “army of […]

Like Usual
It’s Wednesday! Which means another chapter of Selene is up. Next week’s chapter will bring us to the end of Part I, and after that there will be a short hiatus while I finish writing Jeremy Gallow. Apparently he does not want to wait around any longer, and I’ve a short break in my schedule […]

Back Into The Story
Well. That was quick–paper SquirrelTerror is up at Amazon, but not at Barnes & Noble, though that will happen in due time. I’m sort of excited…and sort of nervous. Apparently release day is just as nerve-wracking when one is the publisher, too. (Note the extra processing time at Amazon; that’s because it’s print on demand. […]

Shamble Monday
Good morning! So far, it’s been a Monday. (Yeah. That good.) At least the site server problems have been dealt with, so I’m finally able to post again. (Mostly. Again, it’s a Monday. Don’t ask.) News! SquirrelTerror is available for Kindle! The paper version has been proofed and is now (oh, thank heavens) wending its […]

Nightstand
It occurred to me last night that the top of my nightstand was visually interesting. Of course, it could have been the exhaustion speaking…

Need That Extra Coffee
There’s a new Selene up–Chapter Eight. We’re almost through Part One! The site slowness we’ve been having here at Chez Saintcrow is a server issue that is being tracked down, I’m told, so soon I won’t be getting multiple 500 errors when I try to make a blog post. GRRRR. Also, I’m over at the […]
