A lot of people assume they know what werewolves are. And at one time I thought I knew. Or I thought I did until I started doing research for the Jordan Abbey Series. Almost every culture on earth has a mythology about people who are able to transform themselves into animals. To lay some parameters, […]

So with Chaos Kin releasing in a little over two weeks, I thought I’d show you some of the music I listen to when writing or trying to catch a certain mood while writing the Jordan Abbey Series. Yes, some are a little on the nose. But they do reflect my taste in music. You

So it’s been a busy week for both writing and non-writing. I finished a belated present for my sister, an emotional support chicken in the colors of her favorite hockey team, the San Jose Sharks (or close enough with the yarn I had on hand). Of course the problem with making cute things for others

I stopped updating my NaNoWriMo count in the middle of November. This wasn’t me falling off the wagon of writing words, although my pace was no where near 1,667 a day.

If you’ve noticed I’ve been pretty hit-or-miss on this blog. I didn’t do my annual Things That Go Bump In The Night posts for this year, mostly because I didn’t have the bandwidth this year to do the research. I left a note to myself to start in August and then was sidetracked with

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know I occasionally talk about an Apiary Puff Quilt (crochet) or a Beehive Quilt (knit) I’m working on. Both use something referred to as hexapuffs, or six-sided yarn created puffs stuffed with acrylic filling to give it a three-D look. It’s become my go-to pattern to use up

Two weeks ago I was at BayCon 2022, the first convention I attended since the announcement of the COVID Pandemic in 2020. I didn’t realize how much I had missed hanging out with my fellow science fiction and fantasy fans. It was a wonderful weekend reconnecting with friends and having fun. And yes, despite being
