Car Wrecks and Egg Wrecks
So the first is just a little bump on the behind, and the second is full out laughing one’s head off at the coming disaster. I’ve mentioned before I follow a few retro-recipe blogs, for amusement and potential recipe ideas. This one popped up into my email this morning, and as I looked at the […]

Trickster Noir: Snippet 4
Another week, another snippet! I really need to get this book out to beta readers, but this has been the week of school adjustments, so I am behind. As always, this is a raw, rough draft! Feel free to point out errors in the comments, but do keep in mind it has a couple layers […]

That Which Befalls People
I wrote about Bad Science over at Mad Genius Club, if you’re interested in researching and writing good hard science fiction you may want to wander over there. Here, I’m going to be brief. I’m studying Epidemiology this semester, or the study of that which befalls people. And really, as an author, I do that […]

Review: Lion Loose
This last week has been chaotic, to say the least. School started, I had a long-overdue meeting with my adviser that may mean shuffling classes after they have already started, and there was a minor kerfluffle on the internet that served for most of my reading the last couple of days (but a cross between […]

Messy Desk
It’s swamped, at this point, with books, papers, balloons, and miscellaneous stuff that threatens to fall to the floor at any given moment. I’ll take a bit of time and clear it up soon, but it won’t be today. I have to clear it off from time to time, or risk sanity when trying to […]

Math and Heinlein
I had a moment in Math class yesterday where this quote came to me, and then I put on a stiff upper lip and kept going. I’d made a crack before class started about being a professional artist, at least that doesn’t need math… But as painful as I know this is going to be, […]

Very Little Brain
I am a girl of very little brain today. Yesterday having been the first day of school, I got almost everything on my list done, but it’s left me feeling a bit out of it this morning. Things I got done yesterday include writing 1000 words, in this case on a new short-story. I’m going […]

Books Are Forever
Mirror-posted to Amazing Stories Magazine. and Books are this girl’s best friend, unlike diamonds, riffing on that tagline. “The publisher often faces a situation where speed in the production of a book is almost as essential to its success as is “fast freight” to the saving of perishable food stufls. For some books, and frequently […]

Trickster Noir: Snippet 3
So I finished it. Woohoo! I’ll start working on a scene I know needs shoring up, doing a pass for major problems, and then it will go to Beta readers. Finally, it will go to an editor before returning for formatting and final covering. Then, marketing and release. It’s a long process, but it could […]
