Swag the Dog

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , | 1 Comment
Okay – only a few weeks left until convention season starts, but I wanted to show off one of the new items I’ll be handing out (starting at Romantic Times): Brush of Darkness trading cards! Apparently these are the new cool things to have, and I had a custom set of four designed by the marvelous Darchala last week. 🙂 I’m still working on the backs, which should include names and quotes and all that fun stuff, but hopefully I’ll have them off to the printer this week. (Got a favorite character quote? Let me know!) The cards are small – only 2.5. x 3.5 inches, so we wanted to keep the designs simple. Portraits seemed like the thing to do – and obviously we’ve got Abby, Ion, Phin and Melanie to start. I’ll add to these as I can, but I have to order them in sets of 500… Read more

The “Lost” Brush of Darkness Scene

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | Leave a comment
Well, it’s not *really* a lost scene – more of an easter egg, I guess. For my guest post over at Tynga’s site today, I was asked to write up a discussion/dialog between Abby and Ion about sex in literature. Forgetting for a moment that Ion is an incubus and probably has a lot to say on the matter, I don’t always do very well with the forced discussion type posts, so for my purposes I thought short one-shot seemed like a better deal. (And given that Abby works in a used bookstore, the setting seemed pretty obvious.) Of course, Phineas does show up…and drives the conversation straight down into the gutter, but what else would you expect? As far as the story goes, it’s not technically canon for A Brush of Darkness, but I can certainly see it happening if circumstances were a little different. So stop on by… Read more

Phin Does NOT Approve…Sorta.

Posted in blog, phineas, unicorn, wtf | Leave a comment
And by not approve, I mean he sorta appreciated that part where the unicorns were making out with the Ke$ha. He wasn’t overly fond of the rainbow death scenes, though. On the other hand? He likes the idea of being ridden by Lady GaGa very much.But seriously? WTF is up with unicorns and videos these days?… Read more

Word Whore Thursday

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , | 1 Comment
I’m over at Word Whores today, talking about small indulgences. Also, I’m sorta whining about my 11th birthday, but hey, at least I’m honest about my motivations. I’m also over at Ramblings of a Chaotic Mind, talking about world building. Aside from that, I’m home sick again today. (Working from home, but definitely too messed up to drive anywhere). Works out okay because I had a chunk of siding blow off the house this weekend and now I can be here to have someone come put it back on. Which is good because when the wind blows it sounds like a small train is about to come hurtling through the kids’ bathroom. (About four am, I wake up and fine one or both kids in bed with me because the noise is freaking them out.) I have managed to get my faery costume in order for the RT ball, however,… Read more
