Argh, Ivories

Yesterday all the bipeds in the Casa visited the dentist. No cavities; all three of us are religious about brushing and flossing. Our dentist has become accustomed to us, and knows to warn me before he brings anything sharp near my mouth. Mostly because of that one time he came at me with a needle […]

AGENT GEMINI Release!

That’s right, everyone, Agent Gemini is now in the wild! If you liked Cal and Trinity from Agent Zero, now’s the chance to find out what happened to them. As a virus-enhanced assassin for a secret agency, Cal didn’t mind being the bad guy. Now that he’s a free agent, he still doesn’t, and he […]

Cold News

Hello again, dear Readers. It’s been a few days. I made it through the first gate of the holiday season only slightly singed. Now I can keep my head down and my breath held for the second gate. Once we pass the New Year I’ll be able to relax again. It’s a crisp, chilly morning. […]

Slight Halt

Pushing to finish The Marked. Blogging will resume when my skull isn’t full of tattooed angst. *dives in again*

Burn Right Well

I’m taking a short break in the middle of my working day. The Marked is coming along well, and I think I’ll probably finish the zero this week. Which means my head will be clean, empty, and twitching for the revisions on Wasteland King and Rattlesnake Wind. Not to mention setting myself to finishing the […]

Deliquescence

Remember last week’s shaggy cap? I brought a few home and took pictures as they dissolved, because I love my writing partner. This is at about hour 20, on the dining-room table. The steady 65F temperature was the reason it went hydroscopic so soon, we think–the one on the deck outside dissolved much more slowly […]

Hermit Time

I’m heading into that part of a book where everything heats up, which means nixing most social engagements. (The Selkie, as always, gets a pass.) With all my emotional bandwidth taken up by the goddamn book, the bits left over are gathered together and used for the kids, making sure I don’t inadvertently say something […]

Wanting To Be Wrong

It was an interesting weekend. I killed the microwave with a sweet potato. Actually, I haven’t plugged it back in to see if it’s still dead, so it might just turn out to be a Lesson instead of a full-on Life Experience. Plus there was picking up neighbors at the airport at midnight, but their […]

Shroom Season

The Selkie is into mycology. So, whenever I’m oot and aboot, I try to take pictures of fungi I’ve found. These were spotted yesterday after my run, near one of the local apartment complexes. They are probably edible, though neither the Selkie nor I would recommend it, since they’re probably saturated with landscaping chemicals and […]

Rational Siblings

Getting an army of minions does not mean one will have efficient means to perform villainy. Frex, I have often dreamed of minions doing my laundry. Perhaps I am a trifle pessimistic, as the only times I let other people do my laundry have resulted in shocking catastrophes. Granted, the endgame for said people was […]
