Literary Milestones

I was pondering my personal literary moments in life. Looking back, I have some very vivid memories of specific places, books, and authors. Some are set in a certain place, others, more vague and prolonged as I read through an author’s body of work, or discovered a character in a series as the lived, grew, […]

Printed Books

I don’t think the format of book-in-paper will ever go away entirely. I do believe we will see that format change over the next decade or so, however. Printed books will become the things you buy when you want to keep them, or have them signed, or… ebooks will be the read-once and move on […]

Not Here

I learned a new word today. The First Reader, who had traveled the world in his youth, and picked up smatterings of languages, explained this one to me. The German word for sick is crunken. From there, it’s obvious where the word cranky came from. I am endeavouring not to be cranky anywhere but in […]

Spring’s Arrival

There are flowers blooming, and the birds are singing their hearts out as I type this. I think spring has finally made an arrival. I have plants in the front hall waiting for me to have a moment to put them in the ground (later today, I hope). We went to Kentucky last week, where […]

Cover Art: Trickster Noir

I have known pretty much from the beginning that the cover artwork I created for Trickster Noir wasn’t the final edition. I did the eyes because I needed to have a cover for the Dean Wesley Smith cover design workshop I was going through, and my first option, an image of Bella, was beyond my […]

Trickster Noir: Snippet 11

Ooops! I’m really really late with this post. I can say I was working on the new artwork for Trickster Noir, as I will be proofing the print copy in a couple of weeks, and that takes me an age. I can tell you that it is a gorgeous day here in Ohio, our first […]

Must Have Books!

No, this isn’t about books I think you must have. Honestly, I don’t know what books are right for you. For instance, I just read the first two books in a series, and adored them, and will be tracking down the rest of the series as soon as I think I can risk the lost […]

Gone to Kentucky

Back soon.

Solace

I was reading this morning. I had started the book the other day, just the preview, bought it, and finally got around to reading, tucked into bed in the early morning dark, warm, listening to my companion breathing… It was a marvelous way to start my day. I don’t get this often, there is too […]

Milkweed

I wrote a story a while back, about a mother, and weeds, and the Faery Queen who became her friend through their shared connection as mothers. Mike Allen bought it for this new edition of Mythic Delirium. I’m looking forward to seeing the other stories and poems he has compiled, under that very interesting cover […]
