Happy Monday! We’ve gone the whole weekend without a scorpion sighting, so I have high hopes. Mod R has been collecting your questions, so today we will tackle the first batch. Are you still thinking about releasing part of Maggie as a blog serial? Will you be able to traditionally publish if you do that?

Sookie and Tuna
Is Sookie still alive? Yes, she is. Thank you for asking. Sookie is getting on in years. She mostly sleeps. Her hearing is gone. Voice commands don’t do it anymore, so now we have to communicate by hand signals and pats. However, she is living her best life. She has all the treats and pillows

Awful Weekend
Personal post. Don’t read if you have are prone to medical anxiety. On September 12, which was a Tuesday, I had my mammogram. Everything was routine.

Housekeeping Wednesday
Justified. No, not the show. A while ago we had some reports regarding the lack of justification in the ebook copy of Magic Strikes. All the other titles are justified on both sides but Magic Strikes is only to the left. We’ve spoken to the publisher and that file will be updated by mid-November with

Late Night Emergency
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
