Monday!

Part of the difficulty in a long-running blog… ok, there are a lot of difficulties. Those of you who’ve been around for a while know the last couple of years I’ve been erratic at best with posting. This coming year looks to be much more, shall we say, predictable? I can’t, actually, predict a calm… Read More Monday!

Fried Cabbage and Apples

This is so simple, a recipe hardly seems necessary, but on the other hand, perhaps this will remind you of this side dish, estimably suited for fall and winter when the cabbage and apples are the best sorts of things to store from harvest until wanted for the table.  Even if you aren’t a farmwife… Read More Fried Cabbage and Apples

Eh, sonny?

Ow. I felt that.  I’d picked up a piece of hand-thrown pottery yesterday. It’s something I do, rescuing pieces that were made with love and skill, and putting them to use. In this case, it was a nice fat little round jug in a pretty cobalt blue with traces of purple glaze. Just what I… Read More Eh, sonny?

Planning ahead

I have a little art project in mind for the first 100 days of 2023. I’d run across the idea through an artist friend, so it’s hardly original. But it looks like a lot of fun, and after nearly all of 2022 was focused on black and white line art, and digital, to boot, I’m… Read More Planning ahead

Bonsai of the Soul

I’ve been fascinated with bonsai for as long as I can remember, along with my affection for orchids, and horticulture in general. Unlike the orchids (looking around at my office window at my happy plants there) I’ve never been able to keep a bonsai alive. Too scattered, insufficient time, and too many moves where there… Read More Bonsai of the Soul

Books, Books, Books!

A book promo post with a twist I have a new release out!  Also, a note – if you click through a link to Amazon from my blog, it’s an affiliate link. I get a little bit (tiny, but it adds up) from these links, it costs you nothing, and it’s what keeps the lights… Read More Books, Books, Books!

Odd Prompts: Tanager Play

This is a snippet from the novel-in-progress, Tanager’s Flight. Look for it to come out in the first quarter of 2023. To tide you over, you might take a look for Crow Moon on Amazon… official announcement tomorrow!  *** Jem watched Julia practically dance off alongside the woman. He wasn’t inclined to follow too closely,… Read More Odd Prompts: Tanager Play

A Crow Moon Rises

I’m slowly putting together the next book. This one is going to be a little different. Like Warp Resonance, it will be a collection of short stories rather than a single work. However, Crow Moon will be focused on my fantasy works. The stories will range from romantic to very dark, and I’m arranging their… Read More A Crow Moon Rises

A long story

Well, technically eleven thousand words still falls into short story range. But given that I wrote ten thousand of those words in the last three days, I’m pretty pleased with myself. I have the writing brain back online, and fully operational. Between delivering the Flipped Tropes anthology shorts, the Space Cowboys short, and now getting… Read More A long story
