More Sketches
Continuing with my “Drawing for the sake of drawing” project, here are a few more sketches, all of Aeka. She looks very masculine in #2, not sure quite how that happened, but there are things I like here. Drawing characters super-deformed (SD) is always fun for me.

I drew something kind of cool
I haven’t been spending much time drawing because I’m bummed out that I lost the muscle memory for it that I used to have years ago, when I drew every day. It finally hit me the other day that “Having not drawn makes me sad, so I will continue to not draw,” was not a…

Review: A Wizard of EarthSea
I realize the incredible chutzpah of deciding to “review” a seminal work that is foundational to its genre, many, many decades after it first made a name for itself. However, Review sounds better than “Karen prattles on about Earthsea for a few paragraphs,” so that’s what I’m going with. I’ve had a problem with the…

ABCD, Part One
Writing Class Week One Preamble: I will write an ABCDerian piece in the first person that seems to focus on food, but the focus will really be on the narrator’s struggles with depression and OCD. A is for Arugula What is arugula, anyway? It’s a salad green, but is it one of the bland ones…

Review: Game of Crones
Way back when I reviewed Any Witch Way You Can, I mused that I don’t really understand the rules for “cozy” mysteries. Years later I am still confused, because this book has an army of zombies walking around, which is about the most un-cozy thing I can think of, but apparently it’s still a cozy…

Review: Trouble With the Cursed (The Hollows #16)
WARNING: This review has spoilers. I’ve had a love-hate relationship with this series for over a decade now. I think the extreme reaction happens because I like the world Harrison has created so much, little inconsistencies or things that don’t make sense REALLY bother me, whereas I don’t care so much in most other series.…

Maylee
Maylee is a character in a fantasy project I’ve had in the back of my mind for a while. She is a Medusa, but she’s actually a very nice Medusa; don’t believe the reputation. Just felt like this was a nicely random drawing to post on a nicely random Thursday.

El Problem con la Magia Negra
I’m late to be posting about this, since it’s actually been available for a little while already, but the first book of Demonic Café is now available in Spanish. I’d like to get the word out on this so that the translator will get some more compensation, because she’s the one who did all the…

Review: Dark Stranger: The Dream
If you put an ad for a book on my Kindle lockscreen, I will download it like a trained seal. This must be the case, because this isn’t the sort of thing I usually check out. I tend to keep paranormal romance at arm’s length– and I say this as someone whose books have strong…

The Sweetest of All Peas
This is a short piece I wrote about reading to my daughter. At night, it’s always Sweet Pea. During the day I call her “Sweetie”, or sometimes “Little Guppy” in the summer, because she swims a lot in the summer, but after story time, always Sweet Pea. “Good night, Sweet Pea. Have sweet dreams and…
