There was supposed to be fun content on the blog today. There will not be content on the blog today. I went to bed around 11:00 pm, but Gordon, knee deep in Starfield, stayed up too late. Although I let the dogs out before I went to bed and stayed out there with them, because

My Starfield Review So Far
I should preface this review by stating that I’ve been under a bit of a non-immediate family stress. Starfield, a new RPG from Bethesda, which brought us Skyrim and Fallout, is out in a few days, and I have early access because I splurged on the deluxe edition. The reviews are ranging widely, and I

Too Hard?
I have a very important question for you this morning. Apparently, Ingram Spark now allows us to print hardcover editions. Meaning we could offer you a hardcover set of our self-published books, such as the Innkeeper series. We have a couple of options available to us. For example, you probably remember the excellent Truly Bad

Ow, My Hand
The tip in sheets from Arcane Society have arrived. The tip in sheets are the signing pages autographed by the author which will be included in the collector edition of the book. See that white box? It has 500 sheets in it. There are many boxes. Many. And before anybody asks, this is a signing

Dark Darkness
Today is the heavy topic Monday, it seems. Why do certain genres deal with dark themes? “Perhaps HA can answer why themes of child abuse and rape comes up in certain genres. These themes are a bit stomach turning and I am curious to know what would propel an author to explore that.” Art is

Senior Moment
::puts head on desk:: All day today. All day. She goes off and then everybody else goes off. I am trying to work.
What’s In The Folder?
Today’s question comes from Mod R. How do you not end up with this when you’re working on a project? Hehehe, FinalFinalDraftDamnIt.docx. Mod R has, by now, seen us drastically chop the manuscripts. I’ve been torturing her with Maggie drafts, and she has read 2 or 3 so far, so now I’m holding off until

Are You Famous Yet?
Are you ever recognized when you are out and about? Do you have any funny, interesting stories about being recognized and if I’m ever fortunate enough to see you on an airplane or in an airport how would you like me/others to react? Say hello or leave you alone? No. Hehe. Writing is the best

The Hottest Sand and the Coldest Water
Last week Gordon and I left for a much needed vacation. Usually we head to the Emerald Coast, the panhandle of Florida slightly east of Destin, where the sand is white and the water is a beautiful green from above but crystal clear when you wade into it. But this time we wanted a break

Impostor Syndrome
On Saturday, Gordon, Kid 2, and I snuck into the Armadillocon as regular attendees to see Jessie Mihalik, who was one of the panelists on Impostor Syndrome Panel. Jessie wrote an interesting article about it. She’s right that imposter syndrome doesn’t go away with success. I’ve talked before about the golden carrot. A rider sits
