Scribbly scribbly scribbly… A weird monochromatic figure. I’m not sure what it is–an outgrowth of the masked figures I’m drawing–but once I doodled it, I had to do a painting. I cannot help but feel that this is the sort of thing that appears silently in the woods or on the moors or something, and […]

More reviews of pre-packaged food! This week we cover Taste of India’s Korma Curry and Butter Chicken sauce (for the intermediate cook) and for the raging neophyte, we have Annie Chun’s Hot & Sour noodle soup and a heat-and-eat Palak Paneer. (Heavy on the Indian food this time!) Plus we discuss the joy of rice […]
Today is the day Dragonbreath: Curse of the Were-Wiener hits stores! People have been reporting them coming in from Amazon for a coupla days, and there was a big stack at the Bookmarks festival, so it’s not a strict release deadline, but nevertheless, if you go to your local bookstore, they may well have a […]
I am continuing to wait on edits on book five–Ghostbreath–and I can’t even start the art because the workflow’s getting sorted out for the new color stuff–but they could come back for stuff to be done AT ANY MOMENT, so I am unable to embark on any major projects, and anyway I am feeling jittery […]
“Would you look at that?” said my grandmother, once upon a time. “Says here that more couples get divorced than get married.” She and her boyfriend/chief worshiper were sitting around the kitchen table, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper, a ritual they conducted every morning. Being eight, I did not question the statistical difficulties with […]
A few random art pieces that I finally got around to scanning… I have been fooling with this horsehead design for years. I’m not sure what to do with it now I’ve got it. Cats cradle are such a pain when all you have are flippers. (Original is for sale. It would be ready to […]
…so you don’t have to! Kevin and I have been saying for over a year that we should do a blog or something where we review cheap pre-packaged food, because we eat a LOT of it, and there’s tons of it out there and we are both voracious and talkative, and surely the amount of […]
So I was out at Bookmarks Book Festival in Winston-Salem this morning, which was awesome–if you ever get a chance to visit, or better yet, be an author there, they take excellent care of you, can’t recommend ’em highly enough, had a great time speaking, and hopefully the people who came out to see the […]
Crowns are one of those symbols I hardly ever use, and I couldn’t really tell you why. I think the polar bear in Polar Court had a tiara, but that’s the only one I can think of off-hand. They may just be too Fraught With Symbolism for my taste. I prefer eggs to roses. Nobody’s […]
I have been a little off lately…not bad, just not terribly enthusiastic about anything, and it seems frequently thwarted by life. But today was different! Today I woke up charged and cheerful and ready to go! The sun was shining, the weather was glorious, the birds were singing! The world was my oyster! I promptly […]
