I am profiled over at Eden Baylee’s blog today. Drop by and say hello to find out what lurks inside my mind lately. I suppose it’s the usual sort of thing, but Eden has some interesting questions that I have not had in an interview before, so maybe you will learn a few new things…

Six Sentence Sunday: Pelzmantel

As always, drop by Six Sentence Sunday to browse through the offerings and discover new writers. Once upon a time, there was a queen. She had hair of brilliant gold. It would shine like burnished metal in the sunlight, dance in moonlight spears. Her face had the radiant glow of genuine happiness, for she loved…

News, a Wish and BitchBuzz

Criminy: it’s December! How the time has flown by this semester, even though I haven’t been in class. My sympathies to my colleagues knee-deep in exams and grading. I know how it feels — and couldn’t be happier that I am not. Sorry! But it’s true. NEWS:  It’s a Curse: Drunk on the Moon, Book…

Contract Signed: Owl Stretching

I’m happy to announce that I signed the contract for my next novel, Owl Stretching, with Immanion Press. I’m pleased that Storm wants to publish it and I hope that I have a cover as lovely as Ruby’s art for Pelzmantel. It will be out in 2012 — hurrah! So what can I say to…

News & The Ongoing Madness

I don’t know what I fundamentally do not understand about the process but the yardsale, as many already heard on Facebook and Twitter, was pretty much a bust. I sold a few things but I ended up abandoning the cause and leaving folks to loot as much as they wanted for free. Not all of…

Reviewed: PELZMANTEL @ UnBound

Nice surprise for me this weekend: K.A.Laity | Peltzmantel When we are small fairy tales being with, ‘Once upon a time’ and end at ‘happily ever after’. As we get older we discover nothing really works like that, life doesn’t start at Once Upon or end at Ever After and the only stories that stop…

Moonlight, Lace and Mayhem — and Me!

I’m guest blogger over at Moonlight, Lace and Mayhem today. Stop by and say hi and read what I have to say about… football?! Yep, it’s true (and why there’s a picture of Mesut Özil here). No, I didn’t have a choice, it was just their theme for the month. While I’m not much of…

Interview with a Broad

I am interviewed by Jane Hunter over the Broad Universe blog on LiveJournal. Here’s a little snippet: What one book would you save from a burning fire, and why? The original Beowulf manuscript. The book changed my life and opened up my head and vastly improved my writing . I cried when I got to…

Mystery at Pi-Con

I made a quick jaunt to Pi-Con yesterday to join in a Broad Universe Rapid-fire Reading. The reading went well, but there weren’t too many sales at the book party after despite the chili (thanks, Aradia!) and the trifle (Kaynak, did you make that?). Nonetheless it was fun to see folks again and the reading…
