Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
It is the end of the year. Jeez, that's intimidating. The end of the year. We've got not a lot of time to get caught up with our writing progress and start thinking about next year's goals. Also it's the time of year when the "Best of" lists are coming out, which means I need... Continue Reading →
I took a brief hiatus last week to get caught up with my November writing goals, which sort of happened, and cook lots of delicious food, which definitely did! I'll be back in the world Friday as per the usual, but until then here are some pies. Enjoy!
Continuing into our World Fantasy inspired posts, this week we have a meditation on a trope that came up in the panel "Beards and Intrigue: Queering the Historical Fantastic" which I took to calling "Queering Beards" at some point.

I am using this as an excuse to postpone blogging about writerly stuff, since I honestly haven't had a moment to... Continue Reading →
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 →
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...

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 →
