But wait...my ghost tale doesn't end there... (points to the prior post) First, details on this are a bit shaky, as I'm relying on memory. I haven't told this story in years; I no longer have the book in question (at least, I can't find it in my collection, and I could've sworn I'd kept … Continue reading …but wait, it doesn’t end there….
So let’s tell a ghost story….
First: I have huge problems with most paranormal & ghost-hunting groups & shows...because everyone forgets that the ghosts are people, and people who are now trapped in horrifying, terrifying situations, yet are being treated like performing zoo animals. Why aren't these groups trying to HELP these people move on?? Instead, they're exploiting them for cheap … Continue reading So let’s tell a ghost story….
Black Gate Magazine review up!
You can read the review of Severed Earth here! (he calls it "hard to put down". A total stranger with no vested interest or reason to stay on my good side praised my story! WOOT!)
Something Special
Let's give everyone something special here. This is a doodle of mine -- a crude dragon doodle colored to sheer awesomeness by my husband Brett, who's a Photoshop GENIUS. But this isn't an ordinary dragon...oh no. This is Obsidian, who shows up later in the tales -- first in a short story called "Dragon's Gift", … Continue reading Something Special

There are a lot of really good stories that I've read in various fandoms; I've read a lot of good fanfic writers that can best quite a few "original pros". The only difference between "fanfic" and "media fiction" (ie, … Continue reading About Fanfic
Can openers, tuna…yup….
The cats have become acclimated to the sound of the can opener. NOT a mechanical can opener. One of the hand-crank ones. And no matter what else is running in the house, no matter what else they're doing...let either human go into the kitchen and use the can opener, and four cats will teleport there, … Continue reading Can openers, tuna…yup….
Black Gate Magazine Will Review My Book!
I'm excited!! Black Gate Magazine has decided to review The Severed Earth! They only review one (ONE) self-pub'd novel a month, and you have to go through a formal submission process. Black Gate isn't just a fly-by-night, either; it's had a lot of well-known fantasy authors published in its pages. So I'm excited...and extremely nervous, because … Continue reading Black Gate Magazine Will Review My Book!
SQUEE ALERT!!
We've been watching the feral litter out back -- and today we discovered ANOTHER kitten, which brings the total to 7. This little girl's the runt of the litter, smaller than the rest, and she let me & Brett pick her up and cuddle her. Once the nose-rubs started, she was purring. We've named her … Continue reading SQUEE ALERT!!
Sleepy Kitty, Happy Kitty…
Faramir sleeping & purring. yeah. He looks amazingly like Puck, though his muzzle & paws are whiter.
Teaser for the new HB fic, “The San Francisco Vampire”
Despite the health issues, I'm still struggling thru writing my Hardy Boys fanfic. I've gotten three full tales written, the first "Voodoo Doll" (based on the episode of the same name from the '70s show), "House on Possessed Hill" (a prequel, also based on another episode), and "In Excelsis Deo" (a full original 'Christmas' … Continue reading Teaser for the new HB fic, “The San Francisco Vampire”
