Posted in blog | Tagged fox & willow, ironheart chronicles, magpie's song, omg it's been a year wtf, outland, updates | Leave a comment

Looks at date. *blinks* Has it really been so long since I’ve updated here? Yes. Yes it has. So announcements first: 1. My IronHeart series has been acquired by Outland Entertainment! Magpie’s Song and Magpie’s Fall will be rereleased with new covers (Feb 1 and July 7th) and Magpie’s Flight will be released in November. Audio books will be available as well. 2.Fox & Willow To the Sea – the second volume of my webcomic with Aimo had a successful Kickstarter back in the fall and that should be released soon as well. 3.

No Plans

Posted in blog | Tagged 2020 sucks, fox & willow, fox and willow, happy new year, melancholy, patreon, updates | 2 Comments

Like everything else that’s gone wrong, I had plans to write blog posts more frequently this year. I had plans to go places and do things and try to find some sort of purpose and meaning beyond whatever my everyday was. Even today’s post was blindsided by the fact that once again, I’ve lost another friend. (So, so many people I knew, either personally or professionally are gone. Cancer or Covid, both have been utterly ruthless. My brain is numb trying to wrap itself around the fact that I’ll never see them again and just…well, it’s going to be a melancholy post instead. My apologies.) And no, I’m not flipping off Ostara on my planner. That just happened to be the day our exchange student was made to go home during the early days of Covid and I couldn’t bring myself to write down the flight information. In hindsight, of… Read more

Updates and Upcoming Kickstarter!

Posted in blog | Tagged fox & willow, kickstarter, updates | Leave a comment

*waves* Hi everyone. Remember me? Yes, I’m still here and kicking around. Life has been…crazy since the last time I blogged. Between the pandemic, having my kids stuck at home, having to send my exchange student back to Japan, trying to write, needing my esophagus dilated, having an ovarian cyst rupture and kill my remaining ovary and sending me straight into menopause…well. It’s been a time. Like everyone else, I imagine Radio silence isn’t ideal, I realize, but I’ve just been caught up in the usual whirlwind, which has been complicated by bouts of depression and trying to just keep up with the news in the world as it changes hour by hour. That being said, things have been moving behind the scenes a bit. If you read my post from November or so, you might remember how Fox & Willow’s publication debut was basically dropped due to some major… Read more

Advocacy in the Time of Bullshit

Posted in blog | Tagged chizine, fox and willow, goddammit, updates, wtfkery | 1 Comment

So this week was a bit of a mess on a number of fronts. And maybe it’s just the fact that I’ve been on steroids for a couple of weeks and I’m also menopausing like crazy, but I just…have no more patience. For anything. (Yes, the steroids helped – I can hear again, huzzah. Boo, the menopause continues and hotflashing is shit and yes some of the herbal remedies help, but still. Really, body? Right now?) There have been some good things – the kickstarter I’m contributing a story to funded, so I’ve already turned in a script to the editor for that. Awaiting feedback so I can talk to Aimo about how we want to set the pages up a bit better. I also have the formatting for A Symphony of Starlight done, so with any luck I’ll have paperback versions ready to go by the end of November,… Read more

Baking and Blogging

Posted in blog | Tagged 2019, abby sinclair, end of year, fox and willow, magpie's fall, tales from the lake, updates | 1 Comment

Another year come and gone, I suppose. I wasn’t going to bake today and I wasn’t going to blog today, but here I am, doing both. So much for intentions. I know everyone is doing a sort of end of year round up – and figured I might as well do one too – it’s been pretty crazy overall on a number of levels, but let’s see: House Stuff – if you may recall last January we discovered mice had basically trashed our basement – this led to an enormous loss of personal property. Many items that couldn’t be replaced had to be thrown out – but I tried to look at it from a cathartic viewpoint. Chances are, most of that stuff was just lingering about – pieces from our past that we couldn’t quite manage to get rid of, or just random kid crap – or just…stuff we… Read more
