For them curious about the new book deal announced on Friday, there are two stories already bought-and-paid-for in this universe, although they are not connected directly with most of the characters in the novels. First, there’s “Crossroads.”  You can find that here, via Fantasy Magazine (there’s also a podcast option there).  You can also pick it up in 2012’s […]

So, remember a while back I was talking about that thing that made me Very Happy, but I couldn’t talk about it? I can talk about it now. Â Laura Anne Gilman’s SILVER ON THE ROAD, launching The Devil’s West series, the story of a sixteen-year-old growing up in the Devil’s Territory, west of the newly-formed

Cat of Size went in to the vet yesterday, to have his blood glucose levels checked (and a few other things while he was on the lift). Â Huh. I’ve already paid more in vet bills this year than I did in human and feline medical bills in 2013. S’pose I should shill the books some

Favorite, and very telling bit of dialogue from the rough-in of WORK OF HUNTERS… (yes, I’m drafting it even though we haven’t funded yet and I have no spare time, shut up, I LOVE this story, okay?) “The Cosa is all about discrimination, Ellen. Never think it’s not. You’re at the top of the pole right

And we’re at 11 days and counting, for WORK OF HUNTERS/AN INTERRUPTED CRY to fund!  C’mon, don’t you want not one but TWO novellas, featuring a jaded-but-idealistic half-faun PI and his up-and-coming partner, a young human woman with unwanted, deeply annoying magical skills?  Adventure! Genre-appropriate violence!  Snark! Minority Representation! Setting fire to bits of NYC!  (ooops.  That

Two weeks ago, sitting in Mary Robinette Kowal’s “how to give a reading” seminar at Illogicon*, we discovered that I don’t hum. No, really. She asked us to do a voice exercise that involving humming up and down your range, to expand it, and I… couldn’t. It was such a strange, unfamiliar request, that the

There’s still about $250 to go before midnight tonight, to get the kickstarter for WORK OF HUNTERS / AN INTERRUPTED CRY to 75% (and get me to dye my hair purple). Another $2,400 in the next two weeks for us to reach 100% and get these novellas rolling. $10 for two novellas. But if you kick in more,

I’ve returned to the WiP and can confirm that if it does not love me just yet (after the month hiatus) it is still very fond of me and is willing work work together to make things right again. Me? I still adore it. Even when it makes me crazy. ——- In other writing news,

Woke up this morning and the combination of BioFreeze, painkillers, and a heating pad seem to have done the trick on my shoulder. But since I’m going to be working in a non-traditional format (no office chair) until further notice, this may change at any moment. Â Hopefully, I’ll be able to go chair-shopping over the

Yesterday I spent mostly putting out various fires. Today, I’m gathering kindling. No doubt, by Monday, I’ll be putting out fires again. Somewhere in there I suppose is also carry water… Today is Team Kornetsky, working on the revisions to Gin & Tonic #3, which will NOT be called DOGHOUSE. Unless it is. It’s the
