Getting ready for the coast
I finished the copy edits on Blood Winter this week and sent them back. It’s crazy how much of that book has been written or otherwise in this travel trailer. Not exactly the best atmosphere for working, and no reference…
In Salem
Made the drive to Salem in about 13 hours and in one day. So happy to see the man and to be able to spend time together. Sunday we went and looked at some houses. It’s amazing how awful some…
In the name of updatery
Did you know that if you don’t write a blog post, nothing happens? I mean, no words magically appear? It’s exactly like book writing. If you don’t write the words, they don’t just show up on the screen. Darnit. I’ve…
Friday Funnies

Lucky
I am one of the lucky ones at the moment. The temps here are in the 80s. (I’m a heat wimp, so that seems hottish, but nothing like so many others). I’d rather be out on the Oregon coast right…
