From Ingrid in the comments: I recently ran the character descriptions for the innkeeper chronicles through an Ai – though it might be fun to share 🙂 Link to the post. Okay then. These images are for entertainment purposes only. As beautiful as they are, until we have some sort of legal clarification regarding copyright issues

Happy Treaty Stay!
 “On January 14th, we would celebrate Treaty Stay, the oldest of the innkeeper holidays. […] The Treaty Stay is the anniversary of the three days when the Treaty of Earth was written into being. The inns had existed before that, but not in an official capacity. On the first day of the Treaty Stay, the

Fog of War
In strategy video games, the kind where you build a base and then send your scouts out to find more resources, most of the map is covered by the fog of war, a dense cloud-like blanket that recedes as the scouts explore the map. I have sent all my mental scouts out and the fog

Magic Tides: Slice of Life
None of this would’ve happened, if it wasn’t for Gordon’s birthday. It was the beginning of April, and as my husband’s birthday wound down, he and I ended up outside by the pool talking about things one thinks about when their candle count reaches a certain number. Work, kids, where we are in life, what

Happy New Year
It is 2023, the year of the Rabbit in the Chinese calendar, which will officially begin on January 22. Rabbits jump high so our highs will be very high and our lows will be very low. Never mind all that. I wish you a boring year. May you have as few up and downs as

The Dead Brain and the Immortal Life
Personal ramblings, nothing book related. I think I might be really tired. Normally I’m an idea factory. I generate plots and ideas randomly, sometimes at ridiculous speed or during inappropriate times. 99% of them never see the light of day. I have an entire trilogy plotted about a merchant and a gladiator set in a

Monday After Christmas
We had a very nice Christmas. We had 9 people staying over, which was a bit more than usual, but we got through it without any fights or problems. We ended up doing our usual surf and turf Christmas dinner, and I didn’t overcook or undercook the prime rib, which was a miracle. I had
