Audible didn’t give me a refund for the pirated audio of Small Magics. Audible will refund the credits, but not the credit card purchases. We are working on this from our end. We can’t make any promises, because Audible is a large company, but we are doing our best. This is why it was kind

Pavement, Not So Soft, Actually
I was supposed to do all sorts of announcements for the digital appearances today. Instead, I will tell you why they are delayed. Yesterday I put on my new sandals and went to therapy. I go every 2-3 weeks and for an hour I vent to my therapist, because venting to friends and family can

The Three Character Types
One question on worldbuilding/creating characters. I have noticed that all the main characters in your universes are SupremelyCompetent® in something. Probably because they are all adults by now, but they either had family to teach them how to flash white, is a werewolf/vampire trained in an academy/their families, is an innkeeper with extensive training, or

On Mad Language Skills
Writer fatigue is a funny beast. It makes you feel like the wires have crossed. You know what you want to say, but something quite different comes out. It’s almost as if the words with similar meaning are tossed into the bin, and my brain randomly pulls one out, looks at it, and goes, “Eh,

Dragon and Tuna
It’s a beautiful Monday. The grass is green, the birds are singing, the sun is shining and I have a finish. This hasn’t been washed or ironed so it’s as is, grimy and all. I tried to take more pictures, but it didn’t quite work out. There is no cross stitch. There is only Tuna.

Hello. I Small Dog.
Hello. I small dog Coco. Someone threw me in a dumpster. I’m a girl. Kid 1 is my pet mom. I stay with grandparents now because Austin rental rates are insane and they are trying to find the right place. I have the best time.

Looking for a Paleontologist
We need a paleontologist to help us with some Curran-related issues. Our expert fell through, so this is a rush job. There is a small compensation of $200 and a chance to read Magic Claims early. Please reach out if you yourself are a paleontologist or zoologist with an interest in North American megafauna. Please

Yarn Love: Expect the Unexpected
Gordon collects action figures. (Please don’t send him any. He already has pretty much everything.) When a new package arrives to the house, he almost always informs me that the purchase is a “preorder.” As in, it wasn’t a recent splurge, but something that was paid for long ago. I don’t care if it’s preorder

The Beauty of the Audio Performance
This is the current state of our roof. We’ve had a thunderstorm last night and before that we had 2 days of hammering on the roof and the dogs barking in the yard. My apologies in advance if I make less sense than usual. Somehow the image seems appropriate to the subject matter of the

Magic Claims Updates
Magic Claims is finished. Woooo, made it! Yay! I have good news and bad news. Good news: Magic Claims is officially a novel at 63,000 words. What does that mean? Pages are not a good indicator. Magic Tides was 96 pages. These are not the actual book pages but manuscript pages. Magic Claims is somehow
