Holy Trolls & Goblins, here's reason number 36,471 I love the internet:
someone over on Substack collected all 368 of Robin's exclamations from the old Batman TV series into a single post.
Once again, I present my humble offering to anyone seeking a cozy sci-fi read:
Weaving In The Ends, a novella duology that starts with a summer fling & ends with a comedic Winter Solstice brawl.
It's a feel-good chosen family story, and it's a quick read that can be read as a standalone, or as an easy springboard into the world of 2 connected novels.
Available in print & ebook now, audio coming soon!
It's been a hectic couple of days. So I wrote about it. As one does.
I'm still working out elements of the new blog's format, like, oh, post URL slugs and default images, because I approach design like I'm conducting experiments (How does it look if I change this? Oh, NO. Ew. What about this? Oo, pretty.)
The Sharp Edge Of Yesterday is a modern fantasy novel about coming of age in middle age & changing the world one choice at a time.
In a world where one in ten people will develop supernatural powers in middle age…
Five disillusioned idealists and a passionate teen activist take on the federal government, save lives, and cope with past & present traumas
Last day of #Minicon. It's been a really good con. Loads of fun, great panels & more.
Hanging out for another hour or so, but not expecting much action. it's pretty quiet in the hall.
My humble offering to anyone seeking a weekend read:
Weaving In The Ends, a #scifi#romance novella duology that starts w/a summer fling & ends w/a Winter Solstice brawl.
It's the closest I have to a feel-good story, it's a cozyish quick read that can be read as a standalone, or as an easy springboard into the world of 2 connected novels.
Available in print & ebook now, audio coming soon!
Inner critic: so, what did you do today?
Me: watched the rain, drank tea, daydreamed about story elements, played with the cat.
IC: yes, but what did you DO?
Me: Existed, happily.
IC (getting annoyed now): No, but seriously, what did you accomplish, produce, or MAKE? Where are your results?!
Me: Hahahaha, joke's on you. Some days, happy IS a result.
IC: sulks off in a huff
I have finally watched The Marvels, and I will be watching it again, because it was effing adorable & I want more.
It was far from perfect, mind you. Lots to critique, esp. the...oop, no spoilers...but, phooie to the haters. It rocked.
Give me all the "geeky women save the day + tentacle kitty farce scenes" stories & infinitely fewer "dude shreds reality bc emotions are hard" ones, thank you.
(Also, flerkens are just the most absurd idea ever but I love them anyhow.)
Yes. Not published, but I enjoy haiku, and now and again I come down with a case of free verse.
Funny story, the title of my book "The Sharp Edge Of Yesterday" is a line from a poem that only exists in that book's world (and on my computer hard drive.)
That book's MC wrote a lot of poetry, which I actually had to write for real, of course, because research!.
Blogging about being away for a few days adventuring offline.
Which of course means I'm online reporting about it & craving feedback even though I don't respond to feedback.
Despite much help from the cat, I fixed the awful way my site landing page showed up on mobile. it was easy once I found what I screwed up in the first place. (that should be my life slogan, tbh)
2, Someone took time to let me know they were loving my book. (Cue heart melting gifs.)
My most recent blog post about life stuff is getting ten time the response I usually get.
It's a nice way to head into the weekend year end, ya know?
