About Amaskan’s Blood—
Her name was Adelei. She was a master in her field, one of the feared Order of Amaska. Those who were a danger to the Little Dozen Kingdoms wound up dead by her hand. The Order sends her deep into the Kingdom of Alexander, away from her home in Sadai, and into the hands o...
Thanksgiving
From its bloody beginning to the more recent attacks on the Native People’s protesting the DAPL, Thanksgiving is a complicated holiday in the United States. It’s always been a “damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t” style holiday for me, especially being a 20+ year-long vegetarian (the non-preachy kind thank you!). But with all the death, politics, and illness of 2016, many of us are needing the reminder of what we have and who we have and what exactly we are thankful for. That includes me.

Jet City Wrap-Up
This past weekend was Jet City Comic Show, my first one in fact! I wasn’t originally going to attend but once the We Are All SF convention exploded in a shower of sparks, I was invited to attend. My chainmailling friend, Elise, and I had a booth in the dealer’s room as Books & Chains.
Beside us was Jeffrey Cook & Lee French of the always awesome Clockwork Dragon and across from us was Greg Smith, creator/writer of the comic series Junior Braves of the Apocalypse, which I haven’t read, but Elis...

TT: Bunnicula!
This was one of my favorite series as a child and one of the first I read that was slightly scary (at least it was to age 7 me) and full of puns.
What I Love about This Cover: I can’t find the original cover that I had, but either way, it intrigued me. Animals solving a mystery is and has always been a serious weakness of mine in terms of cheesy books. (Yes, I’ve read the mysteries with cats solving crimes.) What I also love...

Monday Night Gaming: Terraria
Terraria is one of those games that people either like or dislike, and I’m going to do my best to not fall into the “OMG Minecraft ripoff!” camp of reviews. Many of its fans love to remind folks that the came is older, that it works hard to keep updating, and that like many games, paved the way for the games that came after it, which is all true.
Up until this past weekend, I’d never played Terraria, though I’ve been a Minecraft gamer since alpha...
