Reading, Writing, and…
Good Morning. I’m up at Mad Genius Club this morning talking about the predicted decline and death of ebooks, and why I think that’s premature. I am also asking for help and recommendations with a tablet and apps for my sister Juniper. This is a special case, as what we need for her is essentially … Continue reading →

Review: Agent Carter
Yes, I really meant it. I know I’m not a film-geek, but this week with school and writing I was fluttering around finding shows for background noise, and this popped up recommended, so I tried it. Boy, was that a mistake. Fortunately, there are only two of the shows on Hulu currently. Look, I shut … Continue reading →

Dragon Noir: Snippet One
Here it is, the first snippet. I’m not finished writing the book, and I’m not going to finish in time. However, I don’t expect to have it take much longer than I’d originally planned, and the publication will still take place in March if all keeps going to plan. Which it might not. However, I … Continue reading →

Naming
I’m having a difficult time with names. With characters, I just name them, usually. Some come into my head fully formed, name and all. My First Reader named Learoyd Otheris Mulvaney, the centuries-old pixie whose stark cynicism has been shaken by the acquisition of a wife… and two children. But me? I’m trying to come … Continue reading →
How you can aid the valiant SAD PUPPIES 3 campaign!

Moss Gathers
But not on a rolling stone, as they say. I’m running a sort of hands-on workshop for creating an author blog or website over at the Mad Genius Club today, if you’d rather talk about writerly things than art. Because this is an art blog, today. I have gotten away from my schedule, but it’s … Continue reading →

Writing with Emotion
A snippet of fiction – literally, it was only a couple of hundred words long – passed before my eyes in the last few days, and the discussion over it and what was wrong with it led to this post. I’ve altered it, somewhat, but left the problems intact for the purposes of discussing the … Continue reading →

The Breakfast Blog
Well, hello there… It’s been a morning. Nothing bad just me running late and enjoying a leisurely breakfast, and then it occurred to me I’d better bake a blog. Wait… that ought to be make a blog post. How about one on breakfasts? We’re told it’s the most important meal of the day, but it’s … Continue reading →

Piracy and Prints
Over at the Mad Genius Club I talk about piracy today, after having learned I’d inadvertently bought two pirated books. Here on my blog? Well, I’ve had a wild hair, and I have been pondering it. I take all these pictures, you see, and as a businesswoman, it has occurred to me that I might … Continue reading →

Review: Bureau of Substandards
This is actually going to be a triplet of reviews and a gripe. I spent most of yesterday under the weather (no, that’s not a gripe, that’s life, and I take it when my body says ‘rest now or else’ because else is usually pneumonia with me. I rested, and read) and I was having … Continue reading →
