I have a surprise debuting on Nov. 19th in the shop. In order to do this debut, Margaret and I have to upgrade to the new shop software, because buyers need to be able to find and download multiple files from the same purchase. I need three shop beta-testers who can commit two hours a day for two five-day periods … Continue reading →
Done, done, and done the way I meant the book to be. My editor should have that massive stack of pages in her hands tomorrow. I’m relieved, exhausted, and just a little bit jubilant. The whole book is there. In June of next year, it’ll be on shelves. Probably for about fifteen minutes, as was Talyn. But it will, by … Continue reading →
In my ongoing campaign to assure you that the sky is indeed falling*, the end of the world is nigh, and dogs and cats will soon be living together while glaciers devour your back yard as your house floats out to sea in the Alaskan tropics during this Worst Year Ever For Hurricanes, I bring you: 35 Inconvenient Truths Or … Continue reading →

I’ve been invisible since Friday because I’ve been working myself to exhaustion putting together something I think is really cool. You folks have been hanging in here with me for a long time, some of you since I started my career. You get first go at this. After this one time, anything I do like this is going to be … Continue reading →

Finished up with 2077 words for the morning. Got into the characters’ heads a bit better than I’d expected, and as a result, we spent those words with the scary paper, and never made it to the silver door. So I get to look forward to that tomorrow morning. Good, good writing morning.
Scorponok from the album Transformers: The Score by Steve Jablonsky I could just loop this piece to write to. It has incredible energy. Words are going really well so far. Haven’t got to the newspaper yet. The other stuff is unfolding too well. … Continue reading →
