By all accounts, Miss Tansybaum’s Circus of the Moderately Peculiar should not have continued to operate. They were a very small operation as circuses went, they had no rides and their menagerie consisted of a single geriatric lion and a handful of obscure species, such as the Sudanese Crooning Lizards, who were obscure for a […]

Today was the day I was supposed to knuckle down and start working on Book 4: Dragonbreath and the Lord of Bats. (Working title "Batbreath.") Really. I have a couple of chapters already, but the book needs to get done this month, and I was gonna put some serious work in on it. Instead, I found myself […]
Ahhhh. An excellent Thanksgiving, lots of friends came over, a pleasant evening–I have introduced Kevin to the joys of God of War–and today was actually fairly productive. I had an itch to work a little more on my old bread wizard story, and found a minor character that took me a little farther along–ergo: Normal 0 […]
Oh, what the heck…there’s a lot more to the story, but this is the longest coherent chunk (and no, this is as far as it goes, I don’t know what happens after this. The story never quite settled in my head as to where it wanted to go–it’s got elements of “Mr. Fox” and “Bluebeard” […]

Ze saga continues! (Poor Sings-to-Trees. I hope he doesn’t spent the whole story on an all-liquid diet.)
A much shorter installment this time, but Celadon had less to say right off the bat. She’s really more a woman of action. Don’t worry, I’m not cruel enough to leave you at that cliffhanger for long. Promise.
Just watched the next episode of “Life of Mammals” which the Discovery Channel has been running on Wild Kingdom this week. It was about rodents, including my favorites, the naked mole rats, and of course, the noble capybara. (Gronk!) Although at one point, as a herd of capybara galloped into the water in slow motion, […]
So t’other day, more or less on a whim, I picked “Eyes of the Dragon” by Stephen King off my shelf, and re-read it. (I can re-read books happily, which is a good thing, ‘cos the book budget would otherwise exceed my car payment.) I enjoyed it thoroughly, of course, but after I finished it, […]
