I was going to be a part of a blog hop today– What Writing LGBTQ literature means to me–but, like so many things when I’m in the writing/editing rabbit hole, I space-monkeyed right out of that obligation. It wasn’t something I could focus on at the moment anyway, but I have been thinking a lot… Read More

Okay, so I’m going to do some editing of Dex and Kane.  Oh yes I am.  I love them– you’ve heard me yammer on about them for MONTHS!   But wait!  Taern and Dorjan, my two steampunk guys– they’re great. They’re sort of calling to me–I mean, they’re on a deadline too!  And OH!  They’re… Read More

Okay… random post here.  I’m sort of running on fumes here–hence the title.  (And btw?  If you haven’t heard this song?  I’m sharing it with you now.  It’s beautiful, and I love it–in fact, I used it in Making Promises during Ylena’s last chapter, and it made me cry. But wait!  There’s more! *  I’m… Read More

Get it! Eat it! Bite it’s head! Bat it! Paw it! Kill it dead! Smack it! Skid it! Under the stove! Get it back! Get it back! I saw it move! Bap bap bap it on the maw! Hold it firm beneath my paw! Grasp it hard between my teeth Just to play–not to eat!… Read More

It’s Saturday, which means it’s time for Saturday Snark over at Marie Sexton’s Blog!  I’m going with Sidecar this week, because I’m proud of it, and because Joe and Casey snarked really really well.  This is in the early stages of their relationship, when Casey really is just too damned young, and Joe is firmly entrenched in his… Read More

Cover Squee!!!!  This first one is for Mourning Heaven (which should be on the Coming Soon page very soon, so you’ll see this cover again!) This story is the one inspired by Bruce Springsteen’s Magic CD, and I can’t look at the cover without hearing “Gypsy Biker”, “Magic”, “The Last to Die”, and “Devil’s Arcade”–all… Read More

Goin’ down down down… Chicken’s second recital was her first fashion disaster.  She was supposed to wear a coal mining cap, and the damned thing didn’t have the foam in it to keep it on her precious little noggin.  While all the other kids were moving their tap shoes and using their little fake pick-axe… Read More

Hiya!  It’s Saturday Snark Day at Marie Sexton’s blog again!  I particularly like this exercise– it’s a challenge to find the moments in your work that made you choke on your own coffee (or soda!) and try not to spray it over your computer screen.  Humble?  No.  But fun to go back and read what made other… Read More

First of all, have I introduced you all to the timesuck that will have you laughing until you wet your pants?  Seriously.  I love this effin’ dog!  Texts From My Dog  Seriously– go and see where I got the title of the blog, and then come back and tell me how long you spent laughing… Read More

Okay, so Mate is having an early practice today– and it’s 102 degrees already, creeping on up to 105 (which is the league cut-off for impossibly hot) and I’m thinking about just staying home with the girls in the air conditioning and getting some work done.  I feel like a weenie for even thinking about… Read More
