      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…

      Cassie and a Friend

      This is the art for the first cover of Random Acts of Sorcery, back when the series had a different name. I should have gotten professional covers much earlier than I did (my biggest mistake in publishing, really) but I still have a lot of fondness for this image. I think the colors look really…

      My Best Drawing, Evil Sam

      I think we can all agree that this is the best thing I have ever drawn, or will draw. Really, I can really stop drawing now– I mean, CLEARLY it’s all downhill from here. There’s no following this.

    • Grilled Cheese Meltdown

      The following is a short piece I wrote on the subject of being in the hospital for a week. *********************************************************************** I don’t know how it’s possible to make a completely tasteless grilled cheese sandwich, but somehow, the hospital managed. There’s no sign of the grill, no unctuous cheese seeping out of the concoction—it’s somehow dry…

      Some of these drawings are weird

      Here’s another sketch from my seemingly limitless pile of old sketches of these characters. This was back when Sam and Aeka were the main couple, which is funny to me, because they have very little to do with each other nowadays. This is a really uncharacteristic sketch from me because of the OMG SEX kind…
