RELEASE DAY: Throne of the Five Winds
Did you ever want to do something really, really different? So different, indeed, nobody would guess it was you? I did. And my publisher was willing. And now you can read it. The warlord Garan Tamuron and his general Zakkar Kai have unified Zhaon. The crown to their conquest is the neighboring country of Khir, …

Soundtrack Monday: Sinister Kid
I had the beginning of The Marked inside my head for a long time. One of the things keeping me from writing it was Preston Marlock; he is a cagey character, slippery and desperate. I don’t deny I was often frustrated with him. I had Jude, I knew what made her and Aggie tick, and …
Gift Reserved
Had to cut short my run this morning because of my damn heel. I’m doing everything right–icing, rest, gel inserts–but I have to run, goddammit, and what’s the point of doing everything I should if it doesn’t work? My body is not doing any favors by trying to cut me off from the one thing …

En Garde, Good Doge
We are Doge. We are Good Doge. We have the entire couch but choose the ottoman. We are waiting for the Evil Delivery Driver. When he shows up in his big brown truck we will LOSE OUR TINY LITTLE MINDS. We will create SO MUCH NOISE he will leave and then we will require pets …

Loose Ends, Hot Work
Upgraded the workbeast to Catalina yesterday. It took almost two hours, and now almost all the things I love about Macs have been made more difficult to access. Most of all I’m missing iTunes. I could see hiving off the podcasts into their own app, but the appeal of iTunes was that I could see …

Soundtrack Monday: Qadukka-i-Mayyas
It’s Soundtrack Monday again! I was tired of modernity when I wrote The Hedgewitch Queen. I wanted something else, and all of a sudden Vianne was in my head, telling me about a muddy skirt on the day her entire world was upended. My love of Dumas (père, naturally) spilled into the books, as well …
Monday, Always Behind
Well, I’m awake, though I didn’t get the one damn thing I wanted to this weekend. I have a book hanging fire and waiting for feedback, but the amount of cooking that had to be done (mostly by the Princess, who was attending a couple different events this weekend that required culinary offerings) meant more …

Jade (Pencil) Dog
I’m doing Inktober, though I’m not really following any prompts. Mostly I’m just drawing what I feel like drawing, with varying levels of success. Like piano, I’m not very good at it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy myself roundly. I’ve been reading some marvelous threads on pre-conquest Mexica history (this lady on Mastodon; …

Price for Acuity
My nose was out of commission for a couple days, thanks to the flu; this morning, however, I cleared it with a honk into a somewhat overstrained tissue and can finally smell again. It’s a bloody relief to have that primary sense fully back instead of only dimly usable when something like a dog’s excited …

The Valentine Test Giveaway
The fever is still hanging around and I’m hacking into tissues like a consumptive heroine in a Victorian novel. Of course, this means I have all sorts of ideas that may or may not be good ones, so here we go: I’m trying something new this month, dear Readers: a giveaway! I’m testing a giveaway …
