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

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

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

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

*  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

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

*  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

I signed a contract for Bonfires this last week, a story I sort of adore, and I put a thing in that book that I got from real life. My stepmom and my dad got chickens again in the past couple of years. They like the funky breeds with the feathers all over their eyes,… Read More

So, back in the pool again for three! 1.  Today the instructor’s radio went out toward the end. We stretched in silence for a moment, and she said rather forlornly, “Last time, you guys sang California Girls.”  (Yes, that was me. I did that.) So some of the pool–who had not been there– laughed, and… Read More

So… The stunning Ms. Kim Fielding and I went on a ghost quest today.  In our faithful army of questers, we had my children, Squish and ZoomBoy, and her beautiful and quirky daughter, Q. Also along for the drive was Mate, who is most assuredly the most stalwart of knights, as we put him in… Read More
