From the Archives of Pain and Sorrow

on October 24, 2017

So, I have a confession to make. About a thousand years ago–give or take a decade–I wrote a het Batman fanfic. I didn’t even know what fanfic was, back then, or that it had precedent, and it was before ZoomBoy was born, I’m not even sure if there was an A03. So I showed my… Read More


Weekend Short Takes

on October 23, 2017

First of all, Familiar Angel is out, and so far people have enjoyed it. As I said last post, it’s not Little Goddess– low angst, high speed chases and sex on wings dominate– but it’s urban fantasy (with a little bit of history thrown in at the beginning) and I had so damned much fun… Read More


Familiar Angel– Release Day

on October 20, 2017

Familiar Angel by Amy Lane One hundred and forty years ago, Harry, Edward, and Francis met an angel, a demon, and a sorceress while escaping imprisonment and worse!

Mystery Kitty

on October 18, 2017

So, I was supposed to take Newt-Dewey the Magnificent Gray Floof to the vets today–but I left the back door open and Dewey ended up having a very different day than I had planned, something involving MI6 agents and saving the world, I assume, but he could have just been plotting the downfall of the… Read More


So, How Was Seattle?

on October 17, 2017

Well, first of all, it was Bellevue, which means I sort of waved at Seattle in passing, but since Bellevue (or the part I saw of it) was amazing, I’m not going to quibble. Second of all, I need to give some shoutouts– *  Carmen Cook and her wonderful husband, Scott, who both welcomed a… Read More


Seattle

on October 11, 2017

So, leaving for Seattle at asscrack a.m..  If anybody wonders why I leave so early, it’s so Mate can get back to the house in time to take the kids to school. Poor Mate! So I know I’ve said some things about this on social media but I’m not sure if I said it on… Read More


The dogs, the kids, and me…

on October 10, 2017

So, a quiet day today. I’m spending some of my brain power reworking my presentation for Emerald City, some of my brain power finishing the blog tour for Familiar Angel, and some of it starting Crocus which is the sequel to Bonfires. Honestly, not a whole lot of words left for the day to day… Read More


Mate and the Evil Shirt

on October 9, 2017

So, a couple of weeks ago, when Twitter was making me lose my will to live, I bought a fairly heinous and possibly offensive protest shirt because dude. I was a seething ball of inarticulate rage, and if something violently pink that equates the current administration with one of the worst American disasters of all… Read More


Out of the Mouths of Rock Stars

on October 6, 2017

 Okay– so yes, pictures taken during a concert aren’t always the best. The red blob is K-Flay doing “Blood in the Cut”, and if you haven’t heard this song… Well, it makes me think of Chase in Shadow. Really dark–really painful. I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I can write a book like that again,… Read More


Dad’s Home!

on October 4, 2017

So, Mate got home last night! Huzzah! And he had excellent stories to tell! And he was going to take all day today off to sleep, and we were going to go out to lunch and it was going to be glorious. Except I sat down to watch television with him and slept for two… Read More
