Whew! Back from Florida—well, back yesterday, but I spent most of yesterday catching up on e-mail and wandering around the garden going “Yay! You’re alive!” and shoveling mulch. (The mulch did not catch fire in our absence!) Today it’s rainy and grey and I can’t do yardwork. Sigh. But there is plenty of Dragonbreath to […]

So Kevin picked up the boxed set of the kid’s show Reboot a few months back, and we finally sat down and have systematically gone through the main story arc. (We still have season 4, which neither of us have seen, so don’t spoiler it, I beg of you!) Reboot is significant for being the […]
So I’m about to go on a long trip, and as preparation, picked up Pokemon Black & White. Which naturally I began playing, because c’mon! Who waits for the road trip? I’m about halfway through, and I am beginning to fear that they have run out of Cute. There’s a lot of Cute in the […]
I had vague thoughts of doing some kind of useful wrap post here—maybe talk about how far I’ve come since Digger started, although honestly, I mostly find myself thinking of the difference in the view from my desk, between that tiny little rat-hole apartment in St. Paul, with my back wedged against a dying radiator […]
There comes a time in every artist’s life when she says “Enough of this craft shit! I WANT POWER TOOLS!” …eh, maybe it’s just me. The Stoffice corner workspace is awesome, it is sexy, it is fantastic—but it’s too small. Given my tendency to fill any available workspace, pretty much anything would probably be too […]
Whew! Lots of interest, lots of worthy causes out there! (From not knowing what to do with them, I am suddenly wishing I had more!) I tried to give one to all the librarians/teachers, and then assigned the rest at random by rolling d100’s… So! Without further ado… From Tea with the Squash God, Jude […]
I went out to do some coffee shop writing and came home to find a mailer full of books on the porch. When I slit it open, puzzled–I’m due some ARCs soon, for Ghostbreath, but not anything in hardcover–I laughed out loud. I am now the proud owner of four or five copies each of […]
My buddy Mur Lafferty and I have a ritual. Every few months or so, one of us calls the other and says gloomily “I finished the book.” The other one says “Oh, no, I’m so sorry,” and offers to bring cake, gin, or anything else that will soften the blow. Kevin used to think this […]
Pollinator Shrine Auction ends today! My back still hurts. But one of my pea plants sprouted! Houston, we have germination! Got a royalty statement. It appears that we have sold in the vicinity of 50,000 copies of Dragonbreath vol. 1! (And someday they may even get me the statement for Ninjabreath…) It was a good […]
“It wasn’t a fungus! It was patchouli!” In which we are sent a box, and being trusting souls, eat some of the contents. Also available on iTunes!
