This is a Chinese Fantasy/Martial Arts drama, available on viki. Romance, martial arts, magic, and happily ever after. Which doesn’t typically happen in Chinese historical or pseudo-historical drama because only Communist path can guarantee happy future. Verdict: Liked it a lot. It’s a nebulous historical time in China. The country is ruled by an Emperor

Back in the Saddle
Bad things come in threes. Two of the three things are now rolling to conclusion: I’ve had my endoscopy and it went better than I expected, although we are still waiting on the biopsy results. Glad that’s over. And the infected eye of Charlie the French Bulldog has ruptured after 3 months of us treating

Computer games?
So I tried to write a post about our lives and I deleted it because everything seems to be sucking right now. I’ve vented to Jeaniene Frost yesterday and told her that I haven’t written anything for a while, and she said, “I can’t imagine why. Your life is so zen, like a little green

Kate and Curran Texts
One upon a time there was an Amazon reviewer whose name was Harriet Klausner. She was the #1 reviewer on Amazon and her reviews were at times very odd. Her review of MAGIC BLEEDS stated that Kate and Curran were on the outs, which meant that “there was absolutely no twittering.” Since Twitter and internet

The Questing Beast
This was the first of our short stories that was accepted for publication. The publication was delayed, so MAGIC BITES actually came out before this was published, but still, this was the first time we didn’t get a rejection. In the green glow of Nemurian midnight, the food stain on the geosurvey graph blazed electric

Because of this, there will be some posts with old fiction going up, such as Questing Beast, some POVs, etc. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Customer Service
Opening MS Word Office support window. Customer service rep: Hello, how may I help you? Me, very annoyed: Hello. MS Word refuses to recognize the custom installed font. CSR: Have you checked if the font is installed on the system? Me: Yes. Windows sees the font and renders it appropriately. MS Word sees the font,

A Misunderstanding
A deleted scene from SAPPHIRE FLAMES that became a short story for you. Some days just suck. First, I found a stain on the cute dress I planned to wear today. Then I spilled my coffee. Then I hit my toe on the door frame to the office. I really wanted to kick the door,

A Day Off
My father has departed. These two weeks were ridiculously difficult for a variety of reasons and the difficulties continued tot he very end. Just to give you an idea, both ours and Kid 1’s cars got flat tires, so Dad had to uber to the airport, his plane was delayed by 12 hours and he

Fights and banter
We’ve had a stressful couple of weeks trying to navigate through my father’s visit and trying to save one of our dog’s eye from infection while feverishly editing and writing. Sorry for no new posts. I’m trying something new, for me at least. Okay I’ve got this fight scene where 8 different fights are happening
