  • The demise of Borders as discussed on the Daily Show.

    Ilona and I were saddened by the recent news of Borders impending closure.  I liked going in there, in fact I prefer them to B&N, they always seemed to have a better selection, but were also oddly disorganized.  Honestly, the books in our room are at least arranged in alphabetical order.  Going in was always…

  • Dame Kalendra, the stupid idiot

    What it’s like to be married to me…

    Conversation while we shower and get ready to take kids out for Kid 2′s birthday to the restaurant and the mall. Me: I really like Sims Medieval.  But I might restart again. Gordon: Why? Me: I hate my knight.  When I made her, I thought she would be this cool older chic with grey hair…

  • Magic Bleeds Curran POV part 3

    magic-bleeds-curran-pov-part-3

    I know this is long over due, and I apologize.  Honestly if it were not for Ilona promising an apple pie in addition to bribing me with the old Sega Saturn game, Blazing Heroes, (a game we played years ago which just happens to feature a lion man) this would not have been possible.  I…

  • Mr. Sam is gone

    mr-sam-is-gone

    We took Samson to the vet this morning and sadly he was much worse.  He had bled profusely from both ends.  He was very old, 12 or 14 we are not sure, and his mind had been slipping a lot of late. The vet recommending putting him down and we had to concur.  He seemed…

  • MAGIC SLAYS Trailer (Sort of)

    There are few things as cheesy as book trailers.  But so happened that I worked on one to help a friend out.  As a result, I had to learn all sorts of video editing software.  So without further adieu, I now present to you the promotional joke trailer for MAGIC SLAYS.  Enjoy.

    On Criminal Mastermind, Lack Thereof

    on-criminal-mastermind-lack-thereof

    In the past few weeks, I’ve watched bits and pieces of live court coverage and several episodes of the First 48, a show that follows real detectives in their investigation of homicides.  I’ve come to an interesting conclusion.  While evil genius masterminds must exist somewhere, 95% of the criminals are hopelessly stupid. A lot of…

  • When we dance

    when-we-dance

    I do the Curran POV’s sometimes, and I think people like them because you see and hear what he is thinking.  In the books what you get it Kate’s take on the Beast Lord.  I was listening to Sting this morning and reading the galleys for Bayou Moon when a song came on and really…

  • Please don’t send money or expensive presents

    please-dont-send-money-or-expensive-presents

    Gordon went to check the post office box. We’re very grateful for your support and we really appreciate your kindness, but please, don’t send us money and presents, unless it’s something really tiny. And by tiny, I mean cheap. Once again, we do appreciate it, but honestly, we just can’t accept gifts and money, even…
