Mainly, there was Thanksgiving, and a trip back to EnWhyCee to see the family-as-gathered, then I came back and was dropped into the December work schedule (many people taking vacation this month, so I’m picking up extra shifts), plus I have two editorial clients pending, and a novella to fix the ending of, and yeah, […]

Everyone visiting went home, post-WorlCon. Birthdays were celebrated (several times over). It rained (finally!) and is still on-and-off-again raining. We had a massive windstorm that knocked power out for a lot of people, area-wide. I worked on two short stories that I intend to finish this week, damn it. I posted my DragonCon schedule oh,

Well, boring to you, anyway. Mostly, time is split between 4th pass on Book 2 (which has gotten a deadline extension again, due to page proofs, but will not wait on me much longer), the side wine gig, and bringing two clients up to speed on the editorial gig. Basically, clearing out all the Due

Novels/novellas: SILVER ON THE ROAD is copyeditor-bound. I hope to have ARCs soon, to maybe scatter among the deserving and talkative… (if you’re a blogger or otherwise loudmouthed in the industry and want one, email me!) WORK OF HUNTERS (Sylvan Investigations #3) is with the proofreader and from there into backer-edition production, huzzah! CLAWED (Gin

SILVER ON THE ROAD is off to the copyeditor (eeep) and is being over-read for horse and native neep as well, to ensure that I only make the most embarrassing mistakes everyone else also missed… Meanwhile, I’m closing in on the 10% mark of Book #2:  “There was something his charge wasn’t telling him, her

1.  Reminder if you missed the earlier announcements: the #‎willwrite2feedothers story for 2015 went live! (but will only remain live for a limited time, so read now!) 2. A sporting thing happened here in town.  There was much swearing and sweating and triumphant heart attack honking and cheering.  If I’d had an actual emotional attachment to this

And on New Year’s Day I woke up at 10 am…. (well, after getting to bed somewhere around 2am and waking up at 6am to feed and shoot the cats, so it really wasn’t THAT much sleep…) While part of me is sorry not to have been part of Party Central last night (I live

I was raised a Jew: I measure things from sunset to sunset. Today is the last day of 2014, but tonight is the first night of 2015. 2014 was…mostly a year of waiting and planning. Â But it was also a year of waiting and planning toward a purpose: a new city, a new series, a
