I’ve been long at work on Sand, Sea and Stone and am eager to get it out into the world. Really, all it is waiting on is for the art to be finalized. I’ve been told I can expect a January print date. Boy do I hope that is true. Some of my early readers … More A New Review!

The Quick Visit of my Parents

For a little over a week my parents were in the country. Normally an ocean separates us, but hey, its Christmas and we have a two year old which is enough of a reason for a visit. I’m trying hard to think deep thoughts about their visit. Something to put a little separation between myself … More The Quick Visit of my Parents

King and Bard (3)

The following continues directly from Part 2. The Bard’s forehead itched. Again he reached up to satisfy the itch and again his finger met the ground up bark that the King had applied to the wound. This time it was cool to the touch. A change, but it was something the bard could classify as either … More King and Bard (3)

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Home Sweet Tokyo Ep 4 Family Night Out

It’s the final episode! Will it redeem the other three?

Grumpy Bird Reviews: The Punisher s01e03 Kandahar

Grumpy Bird Reviews: Home Sweet Tokyo Ep 2 Naked Communication

When I wrote a review of the first episode of Home Sweet Tokyo little diid I suspect that it would go on to be my most viewed post this year. I already didn’t want to review the second episode based on the quality of the first and seeing the views of that post furthered my … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Home Sweet Tokyo Ep 2 Naked Communication

King and Bard (2)

The following continues directly from Part 1. The King continued on the path, his pace slightly increased as if trying to make up for the brief stop. “What was that?” The bard asked, frozen to his spot. The King kept walking. “I said ‘What was that?'” The Bard tried again and then hastily added “Sire.” The … More King and Bard (2)

Grumpy Bird Reviews: The Punisher s01e02 Two Dead Men

When I watched the first episode I wasn’t really sure if I wanted to write another series of reviews and I almost immediately plunged into episode 2. That was when I made the decision. And now I am trying to get the reviews out before I forget what happened where. The Punisher s01e02 Two Dead … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: The Punisher s01e02 Two Dead Men
