Stuck in Jawbone
Where did the missing mage go? What does the little ghost boy want? Where did all those ghouls in the sewer come from? How does the factory mass-produce enchanted gadgets? Why won’t the sheriff pursue the intruders who attacked her daughter?
What is wrong with this town?
It’s time to uncover the dark secrets hidden beneath Jawbone’s less-than-pristine snow. Get embroiled in…

Some urban wildlife for you. This Cooper's hawk was chowing down on an unknown smaller bird in my yard this morning. Please excuse the quality -- it was taken through a dirty window. I didn't want to go outside and scare it off. Some urban wildlife for you. This Cooper's hawk was chowing down on an unknown smaller bird in my yard this morning.
Here’s a great video on plant fire adaptations I keep meaning to write a long, detailed post about fire-adapted plants. I might still do that one of these days, but this video about plants and fire in the scrublands of central Florida covers it so well I don't feel like I have to.

Jumping Spider I came across this spider years ago, while looking for salamanders (which is how I found most of the animals shown on this blog).
Voice
I’ve never liked my voice. I’m not talking about literary voice, here. I mean my physical, in-person voice. It sounds okay filtered through the bones in my head, but the moment I heard it recorded, on a tape the neighbor kids and I recorded ourselves on with my sister’s boombox, I recoiled. It managed to be both too high-pitched and too deep at the same time. It still sounds like this, recorded…

Six-Lined Racerunner
In which I use this six-lined racerunner as an excuse to talk about parthenogenesis.
These pretty little lizards were the fastest-moving thing on the ground in the Florida sandhills. I saw them every day, but I never managed to get a photo of one in situ. I caught this one in a snake trap and snapped this shot just before letting it go. Look at those crazy long toes!
The six-lined racerunner is a type of whiptail lizard, the only one found in the east. There are more in the…

Falling Rock
I ebookified a new-old story about music and being stuck & world's most low-key love triangle.

Sample:
Darcy’s been alone long enough to get good at it. She’s the only woman in her family to have passed twenty-five without being married at least once. Men leave her alone. She figures this has to do with her looks. Darcy is six feet tall, broad-shouldered and long-limbed. She has short black hair and walnut eyes and a long-strided walk. She…

Scarlet Snake
This is a scarlet snake. It’s easily mistaken for either a scarlet kingsnake or a coral snake, but you can tell it’s neither by the fact that the bands of red and black are only on the snake’s back. The belly is white. Coral snakes and scarlet kingsnakes have bands that go all the way around the body.
Scarlet snakes live in the southeast and as far west as Oklahoma and Texas. They eat mostly…

Eastern Spadefoot
Here’s an eastern spadefoot, a medium-sized frog that is relatively common but rarely seen unless you happen to be trapping amphibians around an ephemeral pond. They’re burrowers, so they need loose, sandy soil that’s easy to dig into. They dig with their hind feet, backwards.
The adults are rarely seen in daylight. They usually only come out of their burrows at night to catch bugs,…

Here, Internet
Here, Internet. Have a tiny pinewoods treefrog from 5 years ago in Walton County, Florida.
And here, me: a reminder that having a mostly indoor job doesn’t mean you can’t go hiking on weekends.
In other news, I’m not dead, and neither is this blog. The hiatus just lasted longer than expected. More to come.

Bad Influence
I learned most of the basic fiction-writing concepts in 3rd-7th grade, some via direct teaching in English class, some from just reading a ridiculous amount of fiction. In some cases, I absorbed the idea gradually and then started applying it without thinking about it. In others, I can point to the exact book where it clicked and I immediately changed my own writing.
The E.T. novel — yes, the…

Great Barrier Reef takes a gut punch with mass bleaching
Large sections of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef are dead or dying, while other parts are severely damaged, and climate change is to blame.
Well, fuck.
Gotta start somewhere
So, those stories I mentioned over there on the sidebar, that I sold a long time ago? They were, of course, in now-defunct publications and are difficult or impossible to find now. I’m glada few have disappeared, but there are still some that don’t make me cringe when I find them on my hard drive all these years later. So, what the hell. I’m going to self-republish the non-cringey ones as…

The walking shark that can survive hours out of water Sorry I've been neglecting my blog lately. Life is, and will continue to be for the next couple months, very busy. In lieu of actually writing a post, here's a fascinating look at the walking shark from the excellent blog Odd Organisms.
