This post covers many updates: reading at Convergence, an update on the physical, and an update on the writing. I intend to get back to a little folklore this week. The troll story is about to take a turn into a little Mexican folklore, and I've promised for a while to write that up. I [...]

Nick found the right door. He knocked. The door was opened by a boy, not a woman. Nick smiled toothily. He extended a hand to the boy. “Stan,” he said. The boy was one of his, although the woman he was looking for didn’t know it. It was important that the people at Luther didn’t [...]

Drollerie has authorized me to give a free copy of Needles and Bones to a lucky individual that would review the anthology and post that review on their website/journal/blog/billboard. Does that sound like you? If it does, just let me know. First come, first served. AND if you need a review copy for a website [...]

Let me share the latest Drollerie releases with you. You might notice that you can now purchase Needles and Bones.

It's been a busy week. No kidding, right? You caught my work rant. You know. What this means, however, is that I got just a tad behind in my internet life. I'm working on the big catchup right now while waiting for the man to come out of surgery. Here's something that you should be [...]

This is in no way meant to make fun of those of you with a real and substantial need for money. And while this post is only semi-serious, there is a real point buried in here somewhere. About writing. Of course, it sounds (and is!) a work rant at the same time, so this might [...]

Well, who's to say last night wasn't fated. This part of the long scene I just wrote came out pretty well, and I doubt I would have written it if I'd tried it last night. *** “What’d you want to go to Chicago for?” said David. “The big city is a really bad place for [...]

You win this round, work day. You whittled me down with removing my husband, letting me know a friend's cat had died, and making me dance to a lot of last minute music, but when you utterly collapsed at the end of the day, hitting me with three things at once, and making me take [...]

This week's excerpt is up at Las Habladoras. And that's the only writerly thing I have today. The not-so-writerly life is full today, so I have only time to be brief. Catherine
