What happens when an email from the publicist catches us, while I’m at the office, and Gordon is at the main house. Gordon: I’m relieved and grateful, to be honest. If it pleases your majesty, let the sin be upon my head. 🙂 Me: Will you stop ending every communication with the sin on your

Super Quick Monday Answer Salad
How is Kid 1? She is much better, thank you. They gave her a stronger antibiotic and the infection is clearing up slowly. She had four wisdom teeth removed, why one got infected nobody knows, but I am just grateful she can finally eat something. How is Hugh’s photoshoot? I don’t know. We were there

Photoshoot
Today is the photo shoot for BLOOD AND IRON cover, for which we are Skyping in. Then we have an appointment, so the innkeeper, if it drops, will drop later tonight or on Saturday. Sorry guys, crunchy week here with KD edits.
Magic Triumphs Beta Call
Only prior betas for KD series will be accepted. We only need 5 and we need you to turn the manuscript around pretty fast, in 3-4 days, because we would like to put it into our editor’s hands next week. There will be an NDA to end all NDAs, because this is the final book

Monday! Damn it.
Kid 1 has complications following wisdom tooth removal surgery. She has an infection and possibly a dry socket and is in a lot of pain. She went for the follow up, and the dentists basically gave her a stronger amoxylin, and that’s it. Fence guys may or may not be coming to replace fence, because

Models Picked
Yesterday we finalized our choices of models for Blood and Magic. Today we are editing. Nothing is happening. We are just editing. And editing. And editing. Been playing Subnautica, but I have already put so much into it, it’s a bit of a slog. It’s mighty pretty though. Also I build a huge base and

There are 456 comments on the FAQ thread, some questions, some discussions, some follow-up questions. In the interests of still putting out Innkeeper today, I kept the answers short. So if you just got a No or a No :), it’s not that I’m upset by the question, I’m just trying to blast through the

DragonCon
We might be going to Dragoncon. Here is a tiny snippet, because we have no other news and this post needs some more words. The bright sunlight stabbed at my eyes. Sunshine bathed the street and thirteen people waiting there, about thirty yards from our door. Long white robes with deep hoods hid their faces

Open Mike FAQ
So there were some reader questions in the comments we meant to answer, but now I can’t find them. Most people, when they get sick, get a fever. I get confusion. I very rarely have fever. The worst day of my cold, I got out of bed and dressed in my outside clothes, because some

Tuesday, Tuesday
The edits on Kate 10 have landed, so we will be busy with those for the foreseeable future. Once they are done, it’s full speed ahead on Hugh’s book. Gordon is doing business taxes. He is not a happy man, but he has girded his loin and is trying to beat them tax prep into

It is Freezing Here in San Marcos
It is cold. Everything is iced over. Gordon and I had to rent a moving truck, because the movers mysteriously left behind my chair and a couple of other things, including Gordon’s comic collection, and yesterday we had to drive it from Cedar Park to San Marcos. As an aside, I am a hoarder. Also

My Email This Morning
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S THE FINAL BOOK???? This is karma. Some years ago Jeaniene Frost called me terribly upset. The publisher scheduled a signing but only gave her three weeks to promote it and she was all like, “Three weeks isn’t enough! I will get people complaining that they didn’t know about it.” And
