The Surgeon

Because every morning is better with dragons!

I'm fairly sure this is what he looks like. *nods*

Summer Vacation (Breakfast Edition)

We've had some luck using einkorn flour, so I shook out Alton Brown's Dutch Baby recipe. Nom!

Turtle Convalescent

His hospital is more cheerful than any of the ones I've been in....

Flip!

I got so wet. >.>

Who is Willing Teaser Graphic

Trying to get my broken Surface to work is frustrating, but I am plodding at it. (Its usual failure mode is to stop recognizing where the stylus is and pin the cursor to the top of the screen, where t...

Studying the Poll Data: Kickstarters

Thank you all for answering my polls! (And a lot of you did, too.) In the interest of continuing to expose my business thinking, here's what I've been mulling over since your responses. 

One of...

Crowventures, Con't

My three-crow family continues to come by at least once a day, sometimes twice. There's also a crow who comes by alone; I'm not sure if she's part of that family or a loner, but she's a lot cagier abo...

Dat Swag

Yesterday I asked about Kickstarters you'd like to back and a lot of you chose 'swag'! But I'm not exactly sure what kind of swag you prefer. Here's a chance for you to tell me what you'd like so I ca...

Kickstarters! Your Opinion?

So I feel like this summer I should probably run a Kickstarter instead of paying out of pocket for a lot of the things I'm doing, because capital is important. *nods* But I don't know what! That means...

Almost Done...

Later this coming week you all shall have book.

Crowfriend, Leveling Up

The crows come and go seasonally, and I am not so keen an observer that I can tell them apart. This new family of three (if indeed it's new, and not just returning from their winter wanderjahr) is bra...

Baby Birbs!

I love Sandhill crane chicks. They look like chicken babies on stilts. ❤️

New B&W Map

...is lookin good!

Coracle, Chapter 10: Where You Find 'Em

Mostly done editing PG5 (street date should be sometime next week), so, back to other projects!

The cathedral was… imposing. If Marda was to be honest, it was overwhelming. Knowing that ...

Words I've Looked Up Lately

The "press for definition" function on my kindle has been lifechanging. Not just because it teaches me new words, but because it lets me double-check ones I think I know, but aren't sure of. I've fixe...

Faulfenzair Ears

Several people asked how they "roll closed" so here's my attempt at explaining. They're ribbed, sort of, with two spars that fold, fan, and spread them in a roughly conical shape.

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the moms in my community, new and old! There would be no human race without us. 😊

(And dads, too. But their day will come in a month. >.> )

Farm Visitor

While I was picking breakfast this morning, this small neighbor came by...

Cool Stuff Saturday

First things first: candles were lit. *nods* Thank you, Candle watchstanders. People in need, you were remembered. In two weeks, we do it again.

Meanwhile, on to Cool Stuff! I wanted to share some c...

Tribe Logo Is Almost There!

I have some nitpicking to do, but this is almost right.

For the curious: this is our "we are part of the jaguar community" badge. Patrons who stick with me for a year are going to get a sticker vers...

Candle Friday

Today is Candle Friday! I will be going to light one for intentions later this afternoon. Thanks to last Candle Friday's watchstanders: Jen, Rion, Sarah, Anastasia, Elise, and Eric, along with people ...

Jem and the Holograms Hair

Someone...

I'm not saying WHO (but they totally might be one of my first readers) called the Chatcaava "wingsnakes" but now I'm going around repeating "wingsnek wingsnek" over and over. >.<

Next Up

Print edition of the new Alysha novella is on the way (and might even be available before the audio edition, which should be ready at the end of the month).

Now why, you might be saying, are you spe...

Swirly Faulfenza

Dangerous Data

 Back to random business stuff. HERE IS A PIE.

(nom)

This is 2017's book revenue (so far) broken out by edition, wherein you may conclude that if people stop reading on their phones I wil...

Book is Done!

First readers are combing it for errors now! (And crying at me.) YAY!

Sediryl's not too happy with me, but I'll make it up to her, seriously. >.>

The Jaguar on Cliffhangers

So cliffhangers. WHY DO WE DO THEM. Some reasons.

No wait. First. Keep in mind this important Three Jaguars fact: a novel is not a story. A novel is a way of packaging a story of a certain ...

Lunchbag Art: Tunas!
