Let's do the announcements first! Look! It's the YA issue of Drops of Crimson! Unfortunately, given the life that I've been having lately, I haven't had time to slip into the stories and go ah! yet. Here's hoping things will simmer down soon. Next! I'll be at Convergence in Minneapolis this weekend. On Saturday at [...]

This week's installment of Victorian vampiric action .

When last we left our Indian dynasty, the children of Santanu and Satyavti both had died, and Bhisma had vowed celibacy. Looks like we're heading for a dead-end. But no. Bhisma is a clever guy. You might remember that Satyvati had a child with Parasara? That child was Vyasa. Bhisma says to Vyasa that if [...]

Bible study was inadvertently canceled tonight, so I had a chance to come home and work on a couple of chapter 4 scenes. These were fun scenes: one was Nick coming to tell the Widow...something.

Cat's Curious editor Sonya Sipes thinks we can do a better publicity campaign for it if we have more time to play [...]

Word is spreading through the internet of another writer who is offering a serialized novel and hopes for some support. Tim Pratt will be publishing chapters of Bone Shop, a prequel novella about his character Marla Mason. Tim explains what's happening in this post. I am not fond of seeing anyone's circumstances alter, but I [...]

Gibbs is often in the habit of linking to journal articles he's enjoyed in the past week, or he thinks are useful, so turn around is fair play. Here he has outlined some ideas about writing group etiquette, based on a visit J. Kathleen Cheney took to a recent local chapter's RWA meeting. I think [...]

More Blood is Thicker than Water. Today, the voodoo special. *** We're back in the saddle at work. It's another scorcher in Iowa, but I see that surrounding states are also doing the heat advisory thing late into the evening. Today was ab day, so less melting than yesterday. *** And now... Mahabharata: The first [...]
