One quick and important news announcement: Ransom: The Anthology is going out of print at the end of the month. Edited by Dylan Birtolo (eyezofwolf), the collection features my short story, "Don't Let Go," (which has, in short form, part of my treatise about religion, folk tales, and fairy tales), as well as a host of excellent stories by other authors.

It arrived! Today I got my shiny new contributor copy of Ransom: The Anthology. I have the honor of knowing three of the other contributors personally and am psyched to get to read their stories in print, next to mine.

My main character is now twelfth level. Huzzah! We had a great fun weekend, with an official RPGA mod, a tailor-made DM's Mark, and outdoor cooking on the grill. We even started one of our games out in the back yard. How can that not be fun? (We didn't even lose any dice outside, which is the real challenge to backyard D&D ( Read more... )

I have been a bad blogger this week, and for that I apologize. On the up side, not blogging has meant I did more fiction writing, and I finished "Don't Let Go" last night (clocking 6447 words yesterday for a grand total just over my total word-count limit; I'm hoping Dylan will have suggestions on cutting it down the hair it needs to be cut ( Read more... )

I missed Teaser Tuesday! I even had something for you guys. I just completely neglected to do any lj reading or writing yesterday. So, in repentance, here's a snippet of "Don't Let Go ( Read more... )
