Are you having a bad day?
YouTube Videos: Get to the F*ing Monkey
Some days a reasonable cup of tea with a single tea bag is enough. And some days, like today, you open a tin of good Ceylon tea a friend sent you and make the whole tea pot. Today is that day for many reasons. Now I shall rant. As you know, I’ve been working on

The Door
So the new door is finally installed. It is solid wood, 2 inches thick, it has iron doohickies and speak-easy windows, and my husband is finally happy. UPDATE: For those of you who are asking, yes, if he could dig a moat around the house, he would definitely do it.
Phone Calls
Yesterday, Nancy, our awesome agent called to discuss the upcoming cover shoot for SAPPHIRE FLAMES and the following conversation took place. Me: No, we do want a guy! We absolutely want a hot guy. … No, the problem wasn’t that he was a guy, the problem was that he was naked and they processed him

Writing Process Rambling
I had a spat with my husband yesterday. When we just started out, we would blast through the first draft as fast as we could and then do extensive rewrites.

N. writes, I am wondering if you are going to continue to allow Kindle Unlimited readers to enjoy your Innkeeper series. If not, will the books be in the libraries?

Birthday Fun
Yesterday was my birthday. Gordon bought me all sorts of coloring loot and Kid 1 got me flowers. Kid 2, who is in New York, wished me happy birthday. Also my computer’s mother board quit. The PC froze in the middle of something, which it had never done before; I restarted and ran straight into

Kinsman Universe Collector Edition is out
We are happy to announce that the Kinsman collection is out today and available from Subterranean Press. It collects Silent Blade, Silver Shark and A Mere Formality. A Mere Formality started as a dare over if we could write a story based on a really vulgar line we saw in a movie. We did, mainly
