Don't Let Them Take Your Reynards
I have a new guest post on the Night Bazaar: Don't Let Them Take Your Reynards
The Death of the Necromancer, published in 1998, was my third novel, and my first with a new publisher, Avon Eos. Everything went fine through the editorial process, right up until I received the copyedit, and found that one of the major supporting characters, Captain Reynard Morane, had been all but removed from the book. And it happened that Reynard was gay.

Yesterday we went to the Sherwood Forest Celtic Festival, on the Sherwood Forest Faire site. The site barely missed being burned down in the Bastrop wildfire, unlike almost all of Bastrop State Park. (The scary thing is Texas fire danger season does not actually start until November 1).
It was a good festival, but it's still in the 90s here and even with all the tree cover it was a little too hot. We honed our talent for finding a music group we wanted to listen to just as they were playing the last song in their set, but we had a good time.
