Announcement

By: Patty

Dear People,

As you know, authors can burn out if they work on a series too long without a break, so I have decided to take a mental health break and put Mercy and Anna on the back burner. There are so many other people and places to explore in their world, and I'd like to try something a little more challenging.

Christy is a character to whom I've always felt drawn. She is complex and has deep down layers of vulnerability that I find very touching and compelling. And I feel that...

Is it May yet?

A second snippet from Storm Cursed!

“Do we have the right to remain silent?” Mary Jo asked.

“You aren’t under arrest,” he said with a quelling look. “Not yet, anyway. As long as you didn’t kill him, you probably won’t be. But Captain Allen is coming in and asked me not to start anything until he gets here. This would have been a lot easier for you if you had called us in the first place. Before there was a dead goblin whose head is in the back of the car. You know bett...

About my Homework. . .

By: Mike Jan 9, 2017

There's an fantasy art blog called Muddy Colors that I follow. It's run by a diverse group of super-talented professional artists. In case you haven't heard, it's tough to make a living as an artist. That's a road paved with dashed hopes, broken dreams, and bitter tears. The folks on Muddy Colors are the success stories, the ones who actually make a living in illustration, sculpture or whatever. They are the Navy Seals of fantasy art: veterans of dozens or hundreds of co...

Spring Looks a Lot Like Winter

By: Mike Jan 9, 2017

Our little town doesn't always get much of a winter. Being a desert, even when it's cold we don't always get much snow. Quite often the ground is bare for the holidays, and we've always liked a white Christmas.

This year we had a skiff of snow for the holidays, but we've had snow every couple of days for the last couple of weeks. As soon as we get a nice batch of pretty snow, we'll have a day with 50 winds, and it all makes mud. However, for the past few days it's built...

'Tis the Season. Thank Goodness!

By: Mike Nov 29, 2016

First of all, we'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas. So far, 2016 has been a depressing year. Injuries, financial reversals, health problems, and far too many funerals — Edsel Murphy has been working epic amounts of overtime. And then, suddenly, Christmas is upon us, and it all sort of fades away.

I've heard several wonderful stories of Purple Avengers setting the world on a better course. In our own small way, we've tried to be more compassionate. Even the...

On a Completely Different Note

Christmas is also a time of reflection, and the new year brings thoughts of change. This year, I've seen one particular change that is . . . interesting.

It's no secret that I consider Patty to be a paragon of virtues. It's been my privilege to be her companion for thirty-one years, and she continues to amaze with grace and beauty. It is, perhaps, not surprising that other men envy me and would attempt to woo her. The phrase over my dead body comes to mind, but I can certainly understand the...
