Trace of Magic Snippet
I finally FINALLY finished my revision of Trace of Magic and sent it back to my editor. I really like it and hope that I’m right. Anyhow, in honor of finishing, here’s a snippet for you. A week later,…
accumulation of stuff
That title isn’t all that accurate. I’m not talking about actual stuff, but stuff I wanted to talk about. And life. The first thing is odd. I was driving home from Norwescon and saw a billboard that said “Jesus died…
Digging through the work
I’ve got deadlines massing. Like when they talk about earthquakes swarming before a volcanic blast. Just like that. I’m working on Trace of Magic revisions, which are coming along nicely. I turned in an essay and expect revision notes soon.…
checking in on life

Gonna have to
I’m just going to have to give in to going to the bone-cracker. Luckily, I met a massage therapist at Orycon who works locally in a chiro office. Now I just have to make the appointment. I keep getting headaches…

Corgis are the cutest dogs ever. Here are mine, being spoiled and cute. And then there’s this picture of Mount Shasta, near Weed, featured in Crimson Wind. If you don’t know about that, why not? The man smashed his hand…
