Pop-up Kitty

2013-06-13T10:16:00.002-07:00

Our little Ashes has started doing the cutest thing. We take the kitties out into our backyard to play in the late afternoons--and we supervise. Ashes has learned how to run under the Japanese Maple, climb the interior branches, and pop up on top. It's so funny. I suspect she views herself as a quite fierce--a little huntress.

The Story of Jan and Julianna

2013-06-08T11:28:00.000-07:00

When JC and I first began tossing around the idea for the Tales from the World of the Noble Dead Saga, I was thinking mainly of filling in some gaps of curiosity on the part of our readers. So . . . I started off with Loni (the lone elf in Miiska), as he had been a source of questions from our readers over the years. I moved to filling in some "holes" in the Rashed/Teesha story and then onto Ratboy. I soon realized that creating something new but based in the core of the world might...

One month in . . .

2013-06-04T16:35:00.002-07:00

So, one month ago today, The Mist-Torn Witches was published. Release day was stressful--as it is for all writers--as I watched the Amazon and B&N sales ranks and hoped beyond hope that a few people realized the book existed. I opened a bottle of red wine that night and drank half of it. For the rest of the month, I've tried to distract myself with other writing projects and doing a little online marketing. The landscape in both the publishing industry and the book-selling...
