Zombie Gnome Battle Royale II

So, when I left off, I had set the scene, as it were, for you to understand why poor unmedicated Phil was in a bit of a mood. So, that morning, sunny but with dew still on the grass, I took the dogs out for their midmorning cavorting and unloading. Phil glared at me as […]

Garden Victory

I wasn’t sure the mason bees would take to that spot behind the shed, even though it’s perfect as far as I can tell. Those little mud packs mean the female bees agreed, and found it an acceptable place to lay eggs. Mason bees are docile, good-tempered, don’t sting–not that bees will sting me anyways, […]

She Wolf and Plumbing

That’s right, a new chapter of She Wolf and Cub is up! Our heroine is back to one of the things she does best–dishing out murder. Also, wandering naked on the streets. Bonus! The plumbing saga continues apace. Looks like the leak’s been there–and invisible–for a very long time. Which means I get to see […]

Back Soon

I promise I’ll blog again soon. Currently I’m buried under Plumbing Problems. No, that’s not an euphemism–I noticed a dripping from the utility room ceiling while the Princess was taking a shower one morning. Visits from plumbers and water mitigation specialists (this is a thing) have confirmed where the damn leak is, so now we […]

Things Not To Send An Author

I need a new tag for the “I get mail…” stories. Here, have this little gem: Date: April 6, 2015 at 6:18:59 PM PDT Subject: Rose and Thunder can be a Bestseller. From: *redacted* To: contact@lilithsaintcrow.com Hi Lilith, I must say that’s an outstanding book you got out there. It has readers appeal, but you […]

Zombie Gnome Battle Royale I

Well, maybe not Royale. Maybe just Battle with Cheese. This all started because Emphysema Joe wouldn’t share with Phil. That’s a photo from last year, when Emphysema Joe came home. He’s been watching over his green for a while, and I suspect him of dealing to the entire neighborhood. He takes care of the plants, […]

ROSE & THUNDER release!

I am sunk in the gutting and rewriting of Blood Call, so much so that I almost missed the most auspicious (and terrifying) of things for a writer: release day! Rose & Thunder is now live in all formats! Beauty… Isabella Harpe, last in a long line of witches, drifts with the wind. Her tarot […]

Boxes

A garden is time accumulation. You work a little, then wait; work a little more, then wait. Wait some more. Then work, and wait. It’s like publishing, except with publishing you can work while you wait, and in a garden you can’t make stuff grow faster and there’s only so much weeding that can be […]

Joe and Norbert

It’s probably time to move Fred & George’s little house to a safer location, ever since the Great Mystery Hunt. (I’ll tell you guys about that when the weather improves.) They might even have to share it with a horseradish, which will no doubt lead to many hijinks. As it is, Emphysema Joe is hiding […]

Technically, Rest

Yesterday afternoon, after a day of my sinuses jabbing me with rusty spikes all day, we got the promised storm. It culminated in a flash of lightning right overhead and a big boom immediately afterward. The storm passed pretty directly over the house, and it even made Trundles take sleepy notice. Miss B, of course, […]
