Falling Asleep at the Computer

on August 26, 2016

Literally. I usually get a day to sleep after a trip, and not so th is time, so I think it’s catching up to me.  Only a few notes from today– *  When I was in Kansas City, DSP had some extra books to send home with me for promo and such, and I’d bought… Read More


Unanticipated Side Effect

on August 25, 2016

Sorry no blog last night. I got back home and in addition to the kids starting school and the other stuff that happens when you’re going for four days, the car was breaking down, my phone is dying (hence, no pictures), and the animals needed to go to the vet. Steve had to go for… Read More


Awards I’ve Earned

on August 23, 2016

Tonight I was sitting at my desk, editing, when Mate asked me if I had a highlighter. Of course I had a highlighter… I mean… I had a highlighter, right? I had an entire plastic drawer set full of office supplies, there had to be a highlighter in there SOMEWHERE, right? Well, I dug through… Read More


Ah… home.

on August 22, 2016

My phone is not doing me any favors atm– But I DID issue proof on social media that not only am I home, I have also texted people and let them know. I feel sufficiently arrived, right? So… Fun things! * I bought T–shirts for the entire family, and then, on the plane, I had… Read More


Co-ordinating outfits

on August 19, 2016

So, through an oversight on my part, today was the first day of school– and I was at World Con. I was sort of bummed about this– but Mate did an awesome job taking pictures for me, and the kids picked their outfits out very nicely. Zoomboy is wearing a cat taking over the world… Read More


And today I…

on August 17, 2016

Took the dogs for coffee and sausage. Took a walk. Finished an edit. Wrote a little. Did some laundry. Packed. Kicked the cat out of my suitcase. Twice. Argued with cat thusly: “You can’t go!”  “Bitch!” “It’s not a cat thing, I just only have one ticket.”  “I will end you.”  “Get the fuck out… Read More


The East Coast Girls Are Hip…

on August 16, 2016

Okay, for starters, Tart and Sweet is now available for pre-sale from Amazon and ARe, so that’s exciting!  Also exciting is that Monday’s aqua teacher, charmed by our willingness to sing California Girls at the top of our lungs when her boombox quit, actually loaded the song for cool down today. *beams* She did that… Read More


Oh, didn’t I mention?

on August 15, 2016

*  I’m going to be in Kansas City this next week for World-Con!  I’ll be at the DSPP booth, Th-Sun,  if anyone wants to say hi, let me know!  (I’m so excited about this–it’s not my usual venue, but sci-fi/fantasy was my first love, and I’m still infatuated!) *  Unfortunately, when I made the date… Read More


Because Porn?

on August 12, 2016

So, I did not start Bobby Green as I’d planned–but I am eyeballs deep in a sooper sekrit brand new urban fantasy that I shall maybe discuss later. However, I do plan to start Bobby Green sometime, and I seem to have cancelled my porn subscription for reasons like time and money. And I noticed… Read More


Yarn Ends

on August 11, 2016

*  I have converted another knitter to the fold.    “I seem to be an addict,” she told me on Twitter.  And her husband chimed in asking if there was a cure. I told this to Mate, and he started laughing. Only a little hysterically, why do you ask? “You need to tell Martin to… Read More
