Guest Post and the Most Epic Thing. Ever.

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , | Leave a comment
I’m over at the League of Reluctant Adults this morning, chatting about words and how reading books can be a bit of a springboard into inspiration. (At least for me. Also, a bit of ranting about being trolled on that chat thing the other day. Tenacious thing, grudges. Alas.) However, the most awesome part of my day has nothing to do with blogging at all (or books, really.) A few weeks ago, an artist that I watch on tumblr/DA blew up her hard drive and started taking commissions to help get a new one. So I chucked some money at her, because her livestreams are about the funniest things I’ve ever seen. (I have to turn them off or I’ll never get anything done at work, in fact.) I’m peeling back the shame of my Dragon Age fangirling here for you, but I asked her to draw me something silly… Read more

Word Whore Thursday: Influences

Posted in blog | Tagged | Leave a comment
I’m over at Word Whores today talking about my influences, such as they are. I’m focusing on the two works that primarily define a good deal of my inner workings – The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle and The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen. On a different note, I’m happy to announce that I’ve sold the Spanish rights to A Brush of Darkness! If all goes as it should, the Spanish version should be available in October 2011. Can’t wait to see what it looks like. 😀… Read more
