We Write!
I was lying in bed after the what passed for the Island's biggest party in a hundred years, sleep evading me, thought passing each other like ships in the night with flashed lantern-signal passed between them. Yes, my mind is very like a dark ocean, with very few thought-ships in it. Our Scottish Country Dancing... Continue Reading →
Just a quick note and a promise for the posting schedule to return to normal tomorrow. Sarah, Cedar and I think about half the known science fiction world -- not really, but it sounds cool -- are at LibertyCon this weekend. Hence the lack of posts. Things will get back to normal in the morning,... Continue Reading →
I apologize for the lateness of this post. Mea culpa. I woke up this morning looking forward to the Barfly range trip, only to realize that I don't get that opportunity this year. Let me 'splain. You see, Mrs. Dave, Wee Dave (the aforementioned Working Title has received a timely and well-deserved promotion, all names... Continue Reading →
There's a reason "may you live in interesting times" is a curse and not a blessing. We humans like a certain amount of stability – we like to know that if you put something in you'll always get something out. And no, I didn't mean that, even though it does apply. What I mean is...

No, you didn't go to bed last night and enter a time warp. It really is Wednesday. Sarah asked me to fill in for her this morning because she had an o-dark thirty flight out to Libertycon last night and simply ran out of time. But never fear, she'll be back next week with tales...

This closet was devoted to storing books, magazines, records and a myriad of other things my uncles and father had left at the house over the years. To the best of my knowledge, these...

A gift that keeps giving –that’s been Stardogs on Amazon Kindle so far. I've finally succeeded in wrestling Smashwords into submission (it's just a flesh-wound) so the book is now available on Smashwords, B&N, Apple, Kobo, Uncle Tom Cobbly and all. And from the point of view of ‘how-gullible-and-stupid-do-they-really-think-anyone-is’ Doublespeak –as material for blogging about…... Continue Reading →
Yes, I know I owe you a chapter, but you have no idea how crazy things have been out here. We're now dealing with the aftermath of the hail storm, which requires appointments and estimates and such. Yep, it turns out we had damage, but insurance SHOULD cover it all. Hopefully. Almost for sure. Of... Continue Reading →
I keep running across things I think are obvious, but then they have to be explained, so this is a post about how to read. Specifically, and because I assume that all of you are already cognizant of words and language, how to read an ebook. Options to read an ebook of any format include... Continue Reading →
(Again, being late is my fault. I'm going to send another invite-to-blog to Peter and Pam and try to get them to post their own posts. Alternately someone whose head is not divided between novel, publishing and the incredible lighteness of being the first steps in what will be a complex and massive house move... Continue Reading →
