Mini X-Men
I promise I’ll get off this X-Men kick soon! I promise! For some reason I wanted to draw a chibi Jean Grey, then it was so fun I started doing other characters. So here are Jean, Cyclops, Rogue, Gambit, Psylocke and Wolverine as lil’ chibi versions of themselves. Jean’s looks the roughest because I drew…

Fan Art: Dani, Magik and Magma
This is one of the other pieces of art I found in an old folder. This was from almost 15 years ago, and wow, damn I’m old. Anyway, it’s a piece of characters from The New Mutants, a spin-off from X-Men that first ran in the 80s and has been relaunched several times since. I…

Fan Art: 90s Jean Grey
I found some old fan art in a folder on my HD and I figured I’d post it. Here’s Jean Grey from X-Men in her ’90s costume. This costume is interesting, because sometimes it’s colored blue and flesh-toned, like I’ve done here, and sometimes it’s blue and yellow. I like the flesh toned look because…

Drawing Comics Again because…reasons
I haven’t been posting much to my blog lately because I really haven’t been writing, and I don’t feel like blogging if I’m not working on my books. Most people who visit this site are here because they’ve read the Demonic Cafe books and might want more news on them, and I feel bad being…

Review: The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Real Magic by Emily Croy Barker
It’s probably just random luck, but I keep running into books where the main character happens to be a disillusioned academic who’s struggling with his or her dissertation. I find it amusing to think that this is the new normal for fiction. Maybe if I go back to school for my PhD, I too can…

Review: Demons of Good and Evil by Kim Harrison (The Hollows #17)
I said last year when I reviewed Trouble With the Cursed that I was locked into this series for the long haul, warts and all. Even so, this book was frustrating to get through. Now, I am aware that the level of scrutiny I’m about to submit this book to is high, and I doubt…

Anime Rescue Project #1
(Originally posted on May 23, 2016 on Otakusphere.com) Four times a year, dozens of young, bright-eyed anime characters are set loose upon the world. As joyous as this miracle of nature is, sadly, every season many characters are deployed to the wrong shows, leading to much unnecessary stress and existential angst. For the cost of…

Some Notes on the Writing Process
I don’t write too much about my writing process because I know most people don’t care. However, some visitors to my website may be wondering “Hey, how come Karen is blogging so much but she isn’t putting out any books?” If you are in this category, this post should answer your question. I’ve always been…

Review: The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish
This is probably the most random thing I have ever reviewed here. I went to the library looking for some books by some urban fantasy authors that I haven’t tried yet, only to find nothing by them on the shelves; this is unusual for my library, which is usually pretty well-stocked. I still wasn’t going…
