Word Whore ~ Fox & Willow Thursday

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , , | 3 Comments
Okay – first off, the big announcement is that I’m officially allowed to talk about the Carniepunk anthology now. So yay! (And no, the picture here has NOTHING to do with me or the anthology, but it’s fabulous and very apropos. It’s  called Fire Within Me and was created by the massively talented AF-Studios, so go check out the gallery on DA.) The Publisher’s Marketplace listing: CARNIEPUNK, an anthology which combines the carnival setting and the world of urban fantasy, a place of deception, where monsters wait silently in the dark, featuring short stories by authors Rachel Caine, Jennifer Estep, Seanan McGuire, Rob Thurman, Delilah Dawson, Kelly Gay, Kevin Hearne, Mark Henry, Hillary Jacques, Jackie Kessler, Kelly Meding, Allison Pang, Nicole Peeler and Jaye Wells, to Adam Wilson at Pocket, for publication in August 2013, by Suzie Townsend at New Leaf Literary & Media. I’m super excited to be a… Read more

Snipping the Thread

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 2 Comments
So I did something today I’ve been talking about doing for a long time. I officially announced the closing of my gaming forum.  For those of you not a part of that community, you’re probably rolling your eyes and wondering why I’m even still talking about it. I’ve gone back and forth on it for years. Should I leave it open? Should I shut it down? Are people still enjoying it? Eh. It’s like a loose tooth. It’s been dangling for a while, but the truth of it is the forum has been dying a slow death for the last several years – and like every good thing, it has to have an ending. It’s still hard, though. I’ve been running it since 2005 and the first few years were a whirlwind of activity – writing, posting, art, contest, gaming talk. It had its bumps along the way, but for… Read more

Measurements and Limitations (Plus Bonus NSFW Egg WTFkry.)

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 2 Comments
Couldn’t really think of anything in particular to really blog about today. I ended up going to two doctor appointments – one for a growing sinus infection (a week long headache is too long, thanks), and one for the back doc. I was supposed to get another round of shots, actually – but I declined. Oddly enough, the last few weeks, the spine has been fairly stable. I’m not sure why – I’m not doing anything different, and the two weeks before that I was a total mess. Painkillers every day. And then –  *poof*  – things aligned and the pain lessened. It didn’t stop. Nothing ever *really* stops it, but when you live in chronic discomfort you do find that certain levels are more tolerable than others.  I’ve even stopped going to the chiro as much.  I don’t know. Over-manipulation is probably just as bad as not manipulating it enough and… Read more

Monday Evening Shinies

Posted in blog | Tagged , , | 1 Comment
Got a surprise bit of Talivar fan art today from Maeve’s Child (go check out her Deviant Art account for more lovely art!)  Looook at the smexxxxxy smoulder going on with mr. grumpy there….. 😀 Nice to get since I’ve had this funky headache thing going on for like a week now and it’s been sort of a crazy day. Contractors everywhere, but hey, new garage doors and shower is  almost finished, so overall, yay for Monday. Also – don’t forget there’s a new Fox & Willow page up today. Adult situations coming up? Oh yeah. They’re coming.  >_<… Read more

Blog Tour Schedule

Posted in blog | Tagged , | 1 Comment
Okay, so I’m posting a slightly reduced version of my Trace of Moonlight blog tour  schedule. (It’s a bit early, I realize, but I’m getting emails about it. Easier to just post it all here.) Basically, if you’re not on it and you really want to do a post/interview/review, you can contact me and let me know what you’d like to do and if I can fit it in, I will try. I can’t make promises, though – October is going to be a massively busy month with multiple cons and the book release. (And please contact me through the form – if you hit me up on Twitter or Facebook, I’ll probably agree to something and then totally forget.) Also, I’m trying to cut back on the number of guest posts I’m doing. If you want one, I’m just going to ask that you give me a subject if… Read more
