Energy
I was going to write about Afterwar today, but I took an internal vote on my energy level and decided I’m maybe not quite recovered enough from the process of getting the book through publication. I wanted to talk about how pretty much everything the Firsters do in the book is based on historical precedent, …

RELEASE DAY: Afterwar
That’s right, my dears! The book I’ve been agonizing over for multiple years is now out in the world. They say the war’s over when the surrender is signed. It’s a lie. America’s bloody Second Civil War lasted for years. When the surrender is signed, it’s supposed to be over; refugees flood the highways, trying …

Old Decrepit Me
Last week the stomach flu tore through our household like a hot knife through the solidified fat of your choice. I’m still a little weak-kneed, but I have an easy run scheduled for today and both B and I need the work. She was up and down with me the entire time; the only difference …

All Mod Cons Operational Again
On Tuesday, the Grand Dishwasher Saga came to a close. And thank goodness, too, because Wednesday night I came down with the stomach flu the Princess caught from her best friend, who brought it back from college in Seattle. Consequently, a lot of bowls needed to be washed, and now that I’m on the mend …

So Many Fires
Sometimes a phrase and its translation are so beautiful it stops the reading eye in its tracks. In bed last night, whispering Pliny aloud, I ran across one such happy marriage. Tot locis, tot incendis rerum natura terras cremat. Natural History, book 2 The translation? “In so many places and by so many fires does …

May Day Appliance Wizard
Season 4 of ROADTRIP Z just started, so if you want to get in on it, now’s the time. This is the very last season, and after it ends (probably sometime in October) I’ll be doing another serial. I’m not entirely sure, but I think it’ll be Robin Hood in Space, otherwise known as HOOD. …

Stacked-Counter Disaster
Well. Last week ended without me having developed pyrokinesis and burning everything in sight, so that’s good, right? Between doctor’s appointments and loved ones having difficulties and the ongoing dishwasher saga (still not installed, don’t ask, maybe Tuesday will change all that) and being behind on this monster of an epic fantasy (that they’re going …

Dogs, Dogwood
Yesterday, while walking the dogs, I passed a dogwood in exuberant flower. I love their notched blossoms and of course the canines are always happy to stop and sniff–or snuffle, in Odd Trundles’s case. Poor Trundles had a damp rear because he had to be half-washed that morning, and walking in the sunshine to air […]

Said Often
So Odd Trundles had a nightmare last night, and peed his bed. This doesn’t happen as frequently as you’d think, but it does mean I’m up early, his bedding is in the wash, and I have soaped a dog’s ass and undercarriage before 8am. It’s a good thing all my commitments for the day were […]

Morning, Serenading Peas
I hadn’t planned on blogging today, since I was due at a medical centre early for a friend’s PET scan. Unfortunately, the scheduler got it wrong, so it’s another half-hour, early morning drive later in the week. I did get home in time to call the home warranty folks about the dishwasher again. The poor […]
