Don’t Read This Book (but you should. And you will)

I admit it, I am posting just so I can share the fabulousness that is this cover. …and hint at the fabulousness inside. Seriously. There isn’t much that could get me to say “sure, I’ll write an RPG tie-in story…” except this world. OMG this world, how could I NOT?  Also, check that ToC.  Just […]

In which my love for a character drives me to do the (kickstarter) crazy….

So, I’ve handed in Portals #1 (now called HEART OF BRIAR) to my editor at Luna, and I’m working on Portals #2 (SOUL OF FIRE) and…. I still can’t get Danny out of my head. Even thought I’m having a blast with the Portals duology, I had really, really wanted to write Danny Hendrickson – ex-cop,

That Was Not The Day You Were Looking For…

So yesterday I set up my to-do list, and I settle in with my cup of coffee #1, and I lift the lid of the trusty workhorse laptop (whose name is Archie to Nero-the-cranky-desktop), and… The screen displayed not the usual “okay boss, hopping to it!” energy, but the unending beachball of doom-about-to-fall.

Tuesday Like Monday for Purposes of To Do…

Yesterday, despite a bad start, was crazy-productive.  Which meant I fell over with no brain by 7pm, but that was okay.  Now, if I can just repeat that crazy-productive stance for four more days, everything will be copacetic.  I will also be dead, but hey, can’t have everything, right? So.  The state of the to-dos…

The beginning of the end…and beginning again?

And lo, DRAGON JUSTICE (PSI#4) has gone off to Madame Editrix, and from there into the clutches of the copyeditor, and from there… What began in 2004 with STAYING DEAD has come to a close.  Ten books later, the last Cosa Nostradamus novel for Luna has gone into production. There is rare steak and red
