So, it's Hallowe'en. It's Samhain. And Spooky and I have a mild case of the plague. It hit me last night. Anyway, we have tickets for Danny Boyle's Frankenstein at the Avon tonight, and if you see us there you should probably keep your distance. Contagious and all. Yeah, this is fun. We still haven't carved the pumpkins...and today is the last ( Read more... )

Well, yesterday was a shit day.

Work? I came up with a title, a title that's doing double duty for the third chapter of Cherry Bomb and for a new vignette. And I sent two emails. That was work yesterday ( Read more... )

I awoke this morning from a dream of a better life. I wasn't me. Now, it's fading, and I'm not sure who I was. There was a sinister edge about the whole thing, but still, she or he who was me was happy ( Read more... )

The more I listen to Brown Bird, the more they amaze me.

Two Worlds and In Between, deluxe and trade editions, is now officially sold out.

And tomorrow is the day. But if you get your hopes up so much you think I've been crowned Grand Xena She-Ra, Wonder Woman, Queen of the Known Universe the First, you have only yourself to blame for the ( Read more... )

A blessed Samhain, and a Happy Hallowe'en ( Read more... )

Yes, kittens, it's going to snow 1-3 inches here in Providence tonight, and we're the lucky part of New England. Apparently, Autumn took the year off; I don't blame it. I hear it's snowing in Manhattan right now ( Read more... )

You might have to worry about paying the bills, but you can take three hours to chase the sleep away. But now, ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I wrote only 810 words on "The Prayer of Ninety Cats," but I spent hours and hours picking though words from the Great Nothing. The story is, at this point, 6,145 words long, so I'm guessing it'll go to 7,000+ words. This month, Sirenia Digest subscribers, you get no mere vignette, but a full-fledged short story ( Read more... )

A blessed Samhain, and a Happy Halloween.

As it happens, I only got half of what I should have gotten done yesterday done. I made the line edits to "And the Cloud That Took the Form" and "At the Reef." I nailed down the cover image. But then it was late and I had to start getting ready for the Brown reading. So, expect Sirenia Digest #59 tomorrow ( Read more... )

And here it is November, again.

Much to my surprise, Narragansett Beer has acknowledged The Red Tree. It's a weird, weird world. But weird is my friend.

A quick note to Sirenia Digest subscribers. #47 should be going out to subscribers this evening, only a day late. So, watch your inboxes. And the skies. Always keep watching the skies ( Read more... )
