A few days ago, when the edits for This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me just landed in our inboxes, I made this candle with the idea that once this, final content edit was done, I would ceremoniously light it. In all fairness, the candle looked prettier in my head, but I don’t normally make candles.

Best of the Best poll – Sidekick Stars edition
We’re all sick of the villains, morally gray characters and the bad things we have to hear about constantly. It’s time to switch things around and celebrate the best of the best supporting characters — they may not be the main protagonists, but they absolutely make every scene better just by existing. They’re the ride-or-dies,

Busy, busy
House Andrews are deep in the editing cave for Maggie. How deep? They shared an update yesterday on Facebook: A lot of work, but of course what we take from it is a very chalant OMG OMG OVER EIGHT HUNDRED PAGEEEEES! WE SHALL DEVOUR! No? Just me? Hehe. But that takes a lot of effort.

Hugh and the Distressing Lack of Videos
It’s Reader Question Monday. We might have to do a Reader Question Wednesday as well, as we received many questions about Amazon and digital ownership. You mentioned in the introduction that you usually publish a scene but this time would publish a full chapter. It made me wonder if, when planning a book, you explicitly

Kindle USB, The Price of Books, and Other Things
It is freezing here in Texas. We had a 40 degree temperature drop, and now we are sitting at 24 degrees. You know my prayer. Hold, grid, hold. The Price of Printed Books Is it true that the price of printed books will rise? Yes. Most of the books are printed in China or on

The Coziest Keyboard Ever
I built the coziest keyboard ever. You might remember that earlier I was looking for a better keyboard. Whenever I searched for a keyboard, I always ended up with the gaming keyboards. HyperX. Razer. Black, lots of RGB, that type of thing. I’ve tried ergonomic keyboards, I’ve tried unorthodox keyboards, I’ve tried a lot of

A Happy Cardigan
Despite my best efforts, I finally managed to make a cardigan. I bought this really cute yarn last year. This is Rainbows and Airwaves from Bad Sheep Yarn. It is a gorgeous yarn, so I wanted to make a fun cardigan with it. I usually make stuff for the kids, but I wanted something for

Eternal Strands
If you liked roleplaying computer games in the early 2000s, you knew that Bioware was synonymous with cool games. The studio started out as a Canadian game developer and made some awesome things. Baldur’s Gate. Mass Effect. Dragon Age. Eventually they were bought by EA and went downhill. Apparently, the latest Dragon Age, Veilguard, sold

A Dirty Betrayal
Not long ago, I made this blanket for Kid 2. It was made with Stylecraft DK yarn. I don’t really care for acrylic normally. If you ever felt a skein of Red Heart, it’s rough and scratchy and it kills my hands. But Stylecraft, although it is acrylic, is buttery soft, cloud-like, and shiny, and
