The body of the dog sprawled under a bush. Blood stained the brown and white fur. Hugh crouched by it. Next to him Sharif leaned closer to the ground, staring unblinking at the crushed bushes and red-stained leaves. Karen, the other shapeshifter, dropped to all fours on the other side and took a long whiff.

Short Hugh Snippet
Working hard this morning, so a small bribe instead of answering questions. “Darin, why don’t you go on and scout ahead,” Conrad said. “Make sure we don’t run into something.” Darin clicked his mouth shut and rode on. Conrad turned to Hugh. “I know what you’re doing. If the Lady wanted you to know, she’d

Audio, Appearances, ETC
The audio of Magic Strikes and Magic Bleeds will be briefly unavailable. We’ve purchased the rights to the recordings and now we have to wait while Tantor pulls all of their copies from the retailer and then upload our own files. The covers of audio editions will change, because we don’t own the rights to

Christopher and Barabas
I don’t know if you would want to answer this on the blog, but it’s something I’ve wondered for a while. I enjoy the diversity in your books and how well you normalise queer relationships. I was ecstatic when you gave Barabas and Christopher the beginnings of a relationship in Magic Binds. And the way

Shotgun or sniper rifle?
Notes from the previous posts: when I said that you, as readers, have to decide what you buy, I meant that you have to decide it for yourself for each author. 🙂 This wasn’t necessarily a criticism of series model or any particular author. It was a hypothetical in response to a reader’s question. Some

Cheap, Fast, and Good
Question: I seems like many authors I’ve found in the last few years are moving toward series that have shorter page count per book and maybe one or two “filler” episodes so that the reading experience feels more like watching TV shows. These authors seem to throw out 3-5 books a year in multiple series.

Writing Questions
We’ve been working very hard, so the blog has been lagging behind. Someone emailed and asked if we did writing questions anymore. We decided to answer 4-5 writing questions – business or the actual writing, doesn’t matter – so ask whatever you want in the comments or through the email form on the website. Meanwhile,

Wildfire Galleys
We have the galleys for Wildfire so if you have proofread White Hot and want to take a stab at Wildfire, now is your chance. We are making only minor corrections and most egregious inconsistencies. To be considered, email us. 🙂
Hugh snippet #3
Elara strode outside of the gate onto the top of the hill where the castle sat. Soldiers filed out of the forest, running three to a row. They wore black uniforms, some in armor, some without. Each carried a large backpack, a bedroll, and weapons. They moved in unison, their feet striking the ground at

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, honey! I am taking Gordon out for dinner for his birthday today, if he can decide where he wants to go. 🙂
Oh noes, it’s a Knitting Post
I broke down and bought the Artyarns Taj Mahal Shawl kit. Yes, I know. Expensive as hell. But it is so pretty. Meanwhile I am working on Lilli Pilli wrap in Tosh Merino light. My white isn’t quite as white as I wanted it to be, but I think it will be pretty. I’m tempted
