You may remember that we bought a house recently, which was pretty awesome and all, and now I have a house and I must mow the lawn. Mowing the lawn is actually pretty nice because it's an achievable goal that you finish, for better or worse, within about an hour usually. It's also a great... Continue Reading →
Blade Runner 2049
I went and saw Blade Runner last weekend and it was really, really good. Very loud, very bleak, but good. I definitely recommend watching the bridging shortfilms, though, for greater appreciation of some of the plot points. This movie gave me a lot of thoughts. I debated on what to focus on in my analysis... Continue Reading →

Verily, cats are weird
My life has been on hold this week following a drastic and explosive vomiting episode on the part of my cat, Fidel, which led to him not eating or drinking for almost two days. I am using this as an excuse to postpone blogging about writerly stuff, since I honestly haven't had a moment to... Continue Reading →
The inevitability of sexual assault
After a rather fluffy and upbeat couple of posts last week, we're going down into the dark today. Trigger warning for sexual assault and spoilers for James Treadwell's Advent and Anarchy. Also I'm going to slightly spoil my own book, Mother of Creation, because I can and because I feel like I can't have this conversation without thinking about... Continue Reading →
The Uncrossing by Melissa Eastlake
Hey, friends! It's been a while since I've done a Sunday Review, but here I am with this lovely ARC and a whole lot of feelings so strap in! Considering a few of my recent posts have been less than light-hearted, this should be a welcome reprieve. So first, let me preface this by registering... Continue Reading →
Good news
Hey friends, some updates from the world of writing! I've been working on getting some appearances scheduled for next year - I believe that I will be at Roanoke Author Invasion and MystiCon again in 2018, though I'm still waiting to firm some of that up, and will be looking at other local convention options...

The fate of pirates
How many stories do you know where a woman ends up alone? I don't mean happily fulfilled, with a garden and a dog but no man. I mean truly alone. Outcast, and heartbroken, and without peer. What story have you known that looks like staring into the abyss? That story for me is Pirates of... Continue Reading →
Weird Western tales
The Weird West as a fantasy subgenre is one that I've really been enjoying lately, and has cultivated a vibrant readership over the past few years. I'd say my first introduction to it was R.S. Belcher's Golgotha books, but I have read a lot of other books in the same vein since then. This post... Continue Reading →
Moving times!
Guess what? We are moving! As of Thursday we have closed on a house and we will be working towards repairs and then moving all next week. It has been a wild month trying to make this happen, and I am so ready for it to be somewhat like over. So ready. Honestly the prospect... Continue Reading →
