For all those who backed the project or helped spread the word, thank you so much for your support, and we hope […]

I never thought I’d spend so much time waffling over paper choices. Here’s the issue: 1) Even though Vegan Serendib and A Feast of Serendib are the same number of pages, Vegan looks dramatically thinner. 2) This is particularly acute in photo 1, where you see it contrasted with the Mascot Press edition, which uses

Had a little bit of a rough night of poor sleep due to tummy troubles — I’m not sure what set those off, possibly greed. I’d made a really nice pork curry, tamarind-tangy and slow simmered with coconut milk yesterday afternoon, and couldn’t resist having some….even though I KNEW I had an event to go

Hey, pro writer friends — could you let me know if you’d be available to do Zoom panels for the SLF? Right now, they’re usually on Saturday from 2 – 3:15 CST, though we may do other times in future. Immediate needs (I’m a little behind on this, so it’s slightly urgent), are for the

Folks, we’ve got one week to go on our Kickstarter, and as you can see, we’re likely to make our goal, which is terrific! I think there’s a good chance we’ll hit it today, which will be very exciting. I’ve already started working with Meghan Lamb on developing the intro to fiction sequence; I think

Last day of 6th grade, off he goes. So big. I woke up feeling a little woozy today for no real reason, but I took it easy in the morning, reading an Alyssa Cole romance (A Divided Hope). Her work is always intriguing. I also recently read another romance, Mr. Malcolm’s List, because the upcoming

I woke up this morning, all ready to dive into summer writing, and immediately realized that I’d foolishly scheduled three meetings for this morning. Oops. Thankfully, all of them were willing to reschedule, so I was able to clear the decks for writing this morning. I got through three scene adaptations, walked over to the

I’ve been really enjoying Star Trek Strange New Worlds, but I had a funny moment last night. I’d spent about five hours in relationship conversations with Jed and Kevin (everything is okay, I just had time to do some overdue processing yesterday). Much of it centered around how busy I am and how much I

Fun reading at WisCon with Anthony Ha, Jackie Monkiewicz, and Benjamin Rosenbaum (sorry your eyes are closed in this pic, Ben!). An artist (Sally Brackett Robinson) came up afterwards and showed us a watercolor she’d done of the four of us reading, super neat! Yes, I sat cross-legged for my reading; it was a deep

We made it up to WisCon yesterday, coming in a day early to do some writing / workshopping with folks. I have a very heavily-scheduled con, as anytime I’m not on panels or doing a reading, I’ll be staffing the SLF table in the dealer’s room, or doing a volunteer shift in the art show.
