We do what we can for nursing mothers

Once again we glory in Hecate and note she has concerns. Because we value The Old Ones in our lives, their concerns are our concerns. In this case, we suspect Hecate is concerned about the growing Coyote population in the woods behind our home. We want the Raccoons to feel safe when they grace us … Continue reading "We do what we can for nursing mothers"

My first completely new novel in seven years, The Inheritors, is due out 30 Jun ’23 – Care to review it?

My first completely new novel in seven years, the myth-metaphysical-coming of age-urban science fantasy (like many of my books, it falls into several categories. apologies if that doesn’t suit you) The Inheritors , is currently available for preorder on Amazon (and it would be kittens nice if you preordered it! it would make all the … Continue reading "My first completely new novel in seven years, The Inheritors, is due out 30 Jun ’23 – Care to review it?"

A Beautiful Beast

As I mentioned last week in And Deer are such dears, as well, all of The Wild are precious to us. Wish I could say the same for the “focus” button on my camera. We’re still graced by Deer. Although not as fuzzy as this young lady in real life. Sigh.

And Deer are such dears, as well

All of The Wild are precious to us. Some are more deer than others. Clever way I did that. Did you notice? Either a pun or a misspelling, depending how gracious you are to me. Or how much of a yutz you think I am. We’ve been graced by Deer as of late. And it’s … Continue reading "And Deer are such dears, as well"

The Alibi (A John Chance Mystery) – Chapter 10 (was part of Chapter 5 long, long ago. Maybe this is an example of authorial inflation?)

The Alibi – Chapter 10   William “Bill” Cranston grabbed the railing as he jogged up the stairs to Precinct House 17. He may have been a linebacker in college, but that was thirty-five years ago and now he needed to pull himself up inclines when he jogged them. He snapped his hand back as … Continue reading "The Alibi (A John Chance Mystery) – Chapter 10 (was part of Chapter 5 long, long ago. Maybe this is an example of authorial inflation?)"

Erasmus is such a dear

We last encountered Erasmus about two months back (posting time). We know Coyote been around. There signs are easy to recognize, step in, or slip on. Still shy (and rightly so), we know there’s a pack near us. We can hear them at night. Lately we’ve heard one and their call is so mournful we … Continue reading "Erasmus is such a dear"

The Alibi (A John Chance Mystery) – Chapter 9 (was part of Chapter 4 long, long ago, now modified slightly)

The Alibi – Chapter 9   Thorne let the Lady Eglesia‘s systems bring it into the harbor while she dozed on the deck, barely moving from where she slept through the night. She headed out to deep water after hallucinating being back home and visited by her people’s mythical water being, the Bunyip. Those hallucinations … Continue reading "The Alibi (A John Chance Mystery) – Chapter 9 (was part of Chapter 4 long, long ago, now modified slightly)"
