Hi everyone, Mod R here. I bring you goodies, and not the fuzzy eight-legged type like Ilona did in the previous post hehe. As most of you know, after the huge success of their Innkeeper Chronicles releases, Graphic Audio are now working on full-cast adaptations of the Kate Daniels series. I’m excited to share with

Cooking: Tips and Tricks
Do you have any cooking tips or tricks? I just have the usual home cook stuff. Let’s see. Um. Giving cooking advice is always slightly controversial. For example, I do not cook our pan-seared steaks in a bath of butter. One, we don’t need the extra calories and saturated fats and especially lactose; two, steak is

Friday Tea and Coffee Grinders
A few days ago, Gordon said, “Look at these pretty cups.” I came to look, and indeed the cups were very pretty. That’s where it ended except that said cups now arrived in the mail and were presented to me by my husband as a surprise. I’m drinking Zhang Autumn Oolong from Verdant Tea, brewed

Busy Week of Writing
We have a week of digging into writing up ahead. I’d decided to poke around the next chapter on Sunday and once I finished it, I realized that I had forgotten to do what I originally planned to do with it. Instead I got distracted by pretty monster descriptions. One drawback of working in a

Crafting and Other Weirdness
What kind of crafting projects are you working on? Magic Claims, grumble, grumble, grumble. Things I have made recently: a sweater/T-shirt for Kid 2. I don’t have a picture of it finished, but it is. Here is in progress picture. I wanted a very simple pattern, like idiot proof, because my brain was very fried

Gloomy Friday
It is gloomy here in Texas. It doesn’t quite rise to the levels of blustery, but it is definitely grey, overcast, and slightly chilly. Mod R is out today for a medical procedure, so you have to put up with me prattling on about random business and life nonsense. First, I have some great news.

Find your Place in Kate’s Atlanta Quiz
Hi everyone, Mod R here. I’m so happy everyone enjoyed Magic Tides and it was so much fun hanging out with you all in the comments. As someone remarked: Kate on my e-reader, the Horde around me discussing her adventures, reading about old friends- it’s almost as if the Bad Times never happened! And since

The Refined Art of Tsundoku
Oh that wonderful feeling when you walk into a bookstore, dead tree or electronic, and find an embarrassment of riches. This book is great and that one is great, and you have to have this one, oh and that one must come home with you. You take your precious loot home and then you read

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

Tea and Hammering
::taking a figurative hammer and hitting the holiday project:: Get! Into! Shape! I should do that to myself. I haven’t worked out in 2 weeks. I haven’t walked either. It is super crappy. It’s like Portland, Oregon weather over here, grey and dull and depressing. We mostly have two seasons: awful heat and gloom. We
