So, Mate had a relay race this weekend.  A bunch of guys ran different legs of a hundred mile race–Mate ran three legs of around five miles a piece-and generally, they hung out in a van, bonded, and then got out of the van and ran. Sounds sort of cool.  (It also sounds sort of… Read More

 Now first off, I have to tell you all that I’m going out of town for a couple of days.  I’ll try to post on Sunday, before Gambling Men: The Novel comes out, just to give that some lead in, and I hope to have all sorts of pictures from the Giant’s game on Friday night and… Read More

Okay, so I’ll tell you why the protest felt like something of a failure.  It’s because the cause–and it’s a huge assed important cause, don’t get me wrong– it just feels so obvious.  I mean, it feels like one of those unspoken societal rules.  If I suddenly started running down the street screaming “For sweechrissakesyafuckin’morons… Read More

I don’t know if I do or not, actually– but I’m gonna make a good go of it!  Anyway– I’m going to see if I can write me a quick post and then go back to bed.  Exciting, I know, but if I want to go fly my freaky flag in downtown Sac this morning… Read More

Thanks, Rhys, for my kitty of ennui Oh, I only wish it was something fun like vodka or… I dunno.  Anything.  But, believe it or not, my husband’s fitness buff friends all seem to believe that the perfect recovery drink is chocolate milk.  And now you know. Anyway, for those of you who have been… Read More

Okay– this is a purely business post with a weird little anecdote at the end. Riptide has a policy of scheduling blog tours for their authors, and since it tends to sell books, I’m not going to argue.  On top of that, Chase in Shadow had a pretty good weekend over at Amara’s Place, and I thought… Read More

 For this blogpost ONLY, I’m gonna go work first, family second, because, hey, that’s TALKER up there, the anthology, with all three of the stories in it, and it’s going to be out in PAPERBACK in May, and… on Gods.  They’re beautiful.  That’s Tate and Brian, and the skimpy Sacrament Skyline, and pain and redemption… Read More

Goodreads is having trouble with it’s feed right now, so I thought this would be a good time for this post. See, the thing is, about two years (give or take about four months) ago, I did a post called “Big, Round Numbers”– and I was sort of excited.  I was going to have 1,000… Read More

Okay– just a teeny little short post today. First of all, Rhys sent me This Link on Twitter, and I have been laughing my ass off over it all day.  Dude, you and your dog will never be closer.  But if you DON’T have a dog, this will make you NEVER want to get one, EVER.  Could… Read More

 Okay– a business post.  Mostly.  I had some rambling, but it’s after 12, so I think I’ll save hat for another day. First of all, a reminder that Country Mouse is up for pre-sale at Riptide.  Now Riptide goes in for the pre-sales in a big way, they offer a very nice incentive to fork over your… Read More
