Would anyone like to see a preview of the sequel to Faerie Tales for Travelers?
Small Disappointments
I received my author's copy of Liar's Sanctuary today. Oh, but she's a big baby: the shipping weight was just under four pounds, but the book itself is probably just under two pounds-- which is only to be expected of a story that covers 669 pages. She'll do to keep. However, it saddened me just... Continue Reading →

Quick Update: Liar’s Sanctuary, coming soon
What have I been doing, you ask? Mainly, I've been avoiding doing any work lately. Spring break is coming, and the children at my school are on the verge of breaking loose in many ways. But! by the end of March, whether or not spring comes, we will have our spring publishing re-release of Liar's... Continue Reading →
Slowly I Turned: Distrait
Trouble, trouble, trouble: the famous Edna St Vincent Millay quote does come to mind. The same worries, the same distractions, the same outcome: a withering of creativity. I'm reading now, not for the enjoyment of reading as much as for the temporary escape it provides. Writing stories would be a better escape, if I could... Continue Reading →
“Slowly I Turned”: The (Nearly) Forgotten Series
I was notified today that, due to a mildly disgruntled comment on this very website, OakTara has chosen not to publish any more of my Keeper series. Since I was waiting for them to respond one way or another, I'm glad to hear this, but I have this ominous premonition that I'm blacklisted as a troublemaker... Continue Reading →

Back-To-School Disorientation
Ugh... what day is it? How is it already the 28th? Oh, well. I met my word count goal for Camp NaNoWriMo, but I have one more chapter to complete in the rough draft of Traveler's Guide to Mythical Beasts. Now I'm back to simmering all day in a subtropical office. (87 degrees F and... Continue Reading →
Speedy Update on Camp NaNoWriMo – August 2012
Nearly to 40,000 words now, with eleven days left. I can give you the title of the sequel novella: Traveler's Guide to Mythical Beasts. The terrifying hag just told / made the narrator hallucinate a story. Things are going well. Further updates as the month's end draws nearer. (So... much... fun!)
Movie Review: Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, pts 1 & 2
I had to do it again. I literally (as of ten seconds ago) just finished watching the second half. I must admit, I spent most of the second film standing in front of my television because I couldn't settle into my chair. For me, that's a sign of a good movie. The first half, I... Continue Reading →
