Announcing the Fiction-Writing Directorate!

My newest project is the Fiction-Writing Directorate. I think of it as half “motivation” for writers, half performance art (I write all the characters, and a rough plot outline will emerge over time), and half role-playing game. It is ridiculously fun!
Won’t you come play along?

Clockwork Jungle Book Is Here!

Yanno, I never thought it might take me two years it release an issue. We were supposed to be quarterly! Fast turnaround, having everything together, a well-oiled machine.
Yeah.
It’s been a long time in the making, but it’s here at last, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out: The Clockwork [...]

And so we start again…

Back from a glorious but exhausting World Fantasy, and trying to get things back together. It’s hard, after spending most of a week in another world, an exciting and inspiring world, to get back to the ordinary work of chopping wood and carrying water.
It doesn’t help that I’m a little sick and the antibiotics [...]

The Wedding FAQ

Q: Ahahaha, you got married? That’s a joke, right?

Getting Married on Monday

The decision to do it now started as part of a discussion about how Sean needs health insurance — so if this [...]

Chicken salad, anyone?

We arrived at the grocery store last night, and the power was out. A grocery store on emergency power is dim and oddly quiet: no muzak, no air conditioner, none of the background noise you don’t really notice until it’s gone. The outage was expected to last another 6 or 7 hours. Employees were busy [...]

Shimmer acquisitions for Issue 12

Over at the Shimmer blog, I’ve posted a list of the stories we’ve purchased so far for our 12th issue, coming later this year.
It’s such a great lineup! I can’t wait until this issue is released and everyone can read it.
Issue 11, the Clockwork Jungle Book, our collection of steampunk animal parables, is currently in [...]

Whee, plugins made it easy.

Now what?

I’ve got this shiny new web site — now what?
Well, I’m not sure; let’s find out together, shall we? I had a blog at blogger, but never quite found my public voice, or a compelling focus for the blog. Maybe now that I’m in a space that’s unequivocably mine, I’ll feel freer to find [...]
