Fantasy and horror books and blogposts
Early post this week to update you on some upcoming events! And while we're here, some discussion of what's been going on in my life! You'll get a regular post on Friday about some fun Daughter of Madness inspiration, but stop in with me for a moment to get up to date. This weekend I will be... Continue Reading →
It's a new year - indeed, it's been a new year for about a week now. That newness has a lot of worry and strangeness caught up in it for me and mine, but also a lot of excitement and forward-looking hopefulness. There is the prospect of marriage, of maybe moving, of traveling. There is no... Continue Reading →
It's that time of year again! December is working towards a close, and it's time to go over what I've read and tell you all about it in one dump post! This year I've picked five short stories, three novellas, and five novels, since I've been reading more widely. These weren't necessarily published this year,... Continue Reading →
Happy Holidays to one and all! No matter what you celebrate, I hope you have a great time this year. Heavens knows we need it. One of the things I want to talk about with this post is the importance of making space for yourself, of making time to be quiet and small in vastness,... Continue Reading →
The other day, a friend and I were discussing the movie The Fifth Element. My S.O. loves that movie. It is ironically one of the only science fiction movies that he enjoys. I chalk this up to nostalgia - not that I don't enjoy the movie, the opposite, but it's not really his kind of science... Continue Reading →
This morning I voted for a woman for president. Those who know me personally hear a lot about my political views. There are many who say that politics has no place in writing. I disagree, in many respects, but I understand that me telling you who to vote for is not really what I want... Continue Reading →
I love October. What's not to love? The weather breaks, the long, slow, syrupy summer finally drawing to a close. Sweaters come out. Leaves die, turning the world all shades of orange and red and yellow and bronze. It's pretty cool. October is a month that teaches us about death. We all know that living... Continue Reading →
In honor of October and Halloween and all things spooky, I bring to you a wonderfully creepy poem from my travels. Some of you may know that I speak Spanish - not fluently, but well enough to get by. I actually did a few months study abroad in Spain when I was younger. Travel and... Continue Reading →
So I have a problem called spin-too-many-plates syndrome. Meaning I like to constantly be juggling a lot of stuff. "Like" may not be the best word, actually. Perhaps it would be better to say that I pathologically over-stuff my plate. Or that I get bored easily. Or that I am overly ambitious. Or am violently... Continue Reading →
I've been playing a lot of catch up the past two weeks following my vacation and in advance of some upcoming deadlines. As you know, the audiobook for Mother of Creation is out October 1st. What you may not know is that I also am working against a deadline for the rough and first drafts of Daughter of... Continue Reading →
