This week you get THREE (well, technically still two) episodes of my old podcast that focused on National Novel Writing Month. Yesterday, Thursday, you got part 1 of the pre-NaNoWriMo episode from 2008, today you get part 2, and on Monday comes the wrap-up from that year. The good news is that I had discovered… Continue reading flick-a-brac #59 (Part 2 of 2) – NaNoWriMo 2008

ANNOUNCING A THING — FOR REAL
In our last monthly blog post, I mentioned that Comedy of Terrors* was coming soon to audio. At the time I wrote that post, I had not gotten corrections back from my fantastic narrator. Well, she got all the pick-ups back to me before that post went live. I approved the audio files, and the… Continue reading ANNOUNCING A THING — FOR REAL

HAPPY NANOWRIMO 2020!
It’s November! (Go vote.) Oh, yeah, and National Novel Writing Month began yesterday. I guess that’s a thing. That I have been doing for fifteen years.

SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT MONTH
It’s October! Where the hell does the time go? (Of course, for the people “stuck” in quarantine, they’re all wondering how I’m saying it’s October, when it’s clearly March 200th or some such.) In the last month, there is not a whole lot to report. I have an announcement that I’ve been sitting on, but… Continue reading SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT MONTH
HORROR PODCASTS
So far, my published books have all been horror or horror-adjacent. Yet in this blog, I do not talk about horror. At all. So I thought I would put out a between-posts post with some podcast recommendations for those of you who may have tastes on the more spooky side. (EDITED IN AUGUST 2025): I… Continue reading HORROR PODCASTS
THE POWER IS YOURS
This entry is the one you have been long dreading. Heck, it’s the one I’ve been dreading. I swore to myself I would never write this entry in my public author blog. I would relegate it strictly to my personal journal. This is the entry no one ever wants to see. But I feel like… Continue reading THE POWER IS YOURS
AS THE WORLD BURNS
Some writers I follow out there on the interwebs talk about something called “season of life” from time to time. For them, that seems to be things like the ages of their children, their marital status and/or problems, or things that actually happen in the course of normal human existence.Humans, am I right?I look at… Continue reading AS THE WORLD BURNS
