Writer Tamago

1. My copy of Magic Bleeds. Yes!!! 2. A new pink swath in my hair, thanks to Margot, who now disappears for maternity leave for three months. 3. 1001 errands to run before I get home tonight. 4. One car, instead of two, because the other car needs a new engine cooling fan. Which is [...]

Last week during my day off, in addition to writing, I sucked it up and went to a dietitian. Our local grocery store chain now has dietitians on staff, so it was a matter of a modest fee for a consultation. My regret, perhaps a mistake that has cost me any chance at metabolism I [...]

Not too sure about the new schedule yet. It's only a day old, but the rhythm doesn't seem good. Only wrote for 45 minutes yesterday. Okay, sure, I had to do some author business with my writer time, but I'm not wild about it yet. This morning was also author business. You may remember that [...]

I have been interviewed about Hulk Hercules, and it's posted at Broad Universe. Thanks to Jane Hunter for the spotlight! Also, Ferret Steinmetz has another story for you to check out: Dead Prophecies appearing in The Three-Lobe Burning Eye, which is totally a name I wish I'd thought of. Not much else to give you [...]

You have all been very generous with your suggestions about book promotion. I begin to formulate a variety of plans, and I'll keep you posted as we experiment. I appreciate the support. It's good to learn from the collective best. Catherine

I make music and pictures, I’m the kind of cook that friends and family casually refer to as the best in the world (there are [...]

There should be pictures here, but it was a long day at work yesterday. So close your eyes and imagine...two large cardboard boxes from UPS. Using a box cutter to open them...Look, the box is filled to the rim with copies of Hulk Hercules: Professional Wrestler! And so is the other box. Mmmm, fresh book [...]

What I need, right now, is a week off. To write. Surrounded by other writers. While other people feed me. Interesting discussions would be nice too. Does anything like this exist? Thinking of you all today, and missing you all. Catherine

This is pretty much it for my con, this year. I'm writing more fiction and less professorial things. Many thanks to my esteemed spouse Bryon who navigated the thornier aspects of our ancient Photoshop program. I'll also be at the sign out on Monday. If you have kids and you buy a book, I'll be [...]

Just got the tracking numbers. Around 50 Hulk Hercules are on their way to my house. There will be distribution to various parties later. Right now, I'm just going to enjoy the sensation of books in motion. Catherine
