Pretty obvious that June was not my month, by a long shot. Between family shenanigans and the motherboard on my laptop going kaput, the muse decided to pack up her bags, take the cabana boy and head for greener pastures, leaving me to struggle along on my own. I did, however, add a bunch...
I know. Those of you in the southern states are wondering why I’m complaining. Remember, I’m in Canada, where the summer days are long and the ice floes flow. Living close to water, summer is either cold enough for a jacket and a pair of pants (which is what we’ve been living through for...
I thought I’d treat you to another sweet little romance, at a sweet little price. Charley Descoteaux recently released her novella Directing Traffic. Here’s the description: Neil Sedwick expects to spend his vacation in a sleepy tourist trap mourning his late partner’s death. Instead, he puts his recently acquired CPR certificate to use and...
Gabbo de la Parro’s Goodreads Love Has No Boundaries thread. See message 270 for the cause of my unease. Because I, dear reader, am one of Monkey’s aunties. No one needs to tell me to be worried. Even Pig could have figured that one out. (To get the pig reference, you need to find...
A propos of nothing, this little section makes me laugh. I’m not going to tell you where it happens, though, ’cause I’m mean like that. This is your fault, isn’t it? He poked mentally at his wolf, who was as drunk as Levi, stretched out on its figurative back with its legs pointing shamelessly...
So, I realized today that I had forgotten to post a few new releases that just came out in the past week and a half. (Yeah, maybe a week and a half isn’t shiny new, but it’s still pretty spiffy.) So, here they are: America’s Darlings by Gail Bridges Leah Collins is a sexual...
Writing, that is. Long periods of sitting around waiting for something to happen, punctuated by short periods of intense “oh, my God, I must get this done”. And, in the meantime, keeping up with the daily grind of getting words down on new work. I’m still trying to finish the Christmas story I started...
Sorry for the blackout this weekend. I woke up Saturday morning, turned on the computer and…nothing. The fan started, lights came on, but the screen was dead. Of course, the technicians don’t work on weekends, so it was yesterday before I got confirmation that the motherboard was fried, and today before I could get...
I had a plot bunny. Oh, it’s not a new bunny. In fact, this bunny is pretty near a year old now. There’s been a few words already allocated to it, in fact. So, why am I talking about my geriatric bunny? Well, Riptide just announced an open call for October. Now, I know...
It’s been a weird week, what with revisions and adding a whole heaping pile of word to Bite Me Tender. I can’t say I’ve gotten a whole lot of wordage done, which makes me cranky, which results in this: I think I got him in the eye, which is awesome, considering I haven’t shot...
