Beware the Siren's Call
Beware the Siren’s Call
The Siren’s Call
Hear my call, sweet one.
Come rest your weary bones.
You seek comfort and peace.
I will gladly provide; swim out to my side.
Abandon the shore to find solace and joy.
The land is cruel, sweet one.
Come play in my waves.
They are warm and inviting and kind.
Your place is with me, here deep in the sea.
Leave all of your troubles behind.
Sleep now, my sweet one.
Come rest your head.

What I've Been up to Recently
What I’ve Been up to Recently
Well, things have been in a kind of flux lately. Recently I’ve been trying to adjust the way I eat, among other projects. (More on those projects in the future.) Much to PT’s dismay. I may have gone a bit crazy. There have been purchases. My “Ooh! Shiny!” reflex coming out once again. … Well, sort of. It’s not a weight thing, it’s a “I feel like crap all the time.” thing. Although the main…

So my irritation started when I not only couldn't find stock photos using the Claddagh as the wedding ring, but I couldn't find even one with two female hands no matter what the ring looked like.
Ok, whatever. I hadn't had high hopes in the "I'll be able to find a stock photo to work for the cover art" category. Fine. I have a friend who was willing to help me out. I was excited, and I spent a week sourcing stuff for the shoot. I look through every fucking photo we took of our hands, and MY HAND LOOKS LIKE A MAN'S HAND! WHY!!!! This is exactly what I didn't want. I did not want a photo that could be easily mistaken for a mixed gender wedding type photo. I wanted it to clearly be two female hands. I'm so frustrated.
(For the record, the hand that belongs to me is the one with the chunky claddagh on it.)
Ok, rant done. I feel a bit better now.

Noob-Noob vs Morty Smith
Re: Everyone posting about Noob-Noob being picked over Morty as the only thing Rick likes about the Vindicators:
1) Morty wasn’t made a Vindicator until after Rick blacked out; he only got the vest from Vance just before they left on the Worldender mission. While he was setting up the deathtraps there was only one actual (though disliked and marginalized) member of the Vindicators that Rick didn’t hate.
2) Morty wasn’t even supposed to be there. The first thing Rick did when the building started locking down was reach for the portal gun, and had blacked-out Rick not fucked him by leaving it on the bathroom sink, the two of them would have been gone like a fart in the wind to sit at the party and wait to see who makes it (likely no one, since Morty was one of the few people in the multiverse who could solve challenge #2, but that’s beside the point). Noob-Noob, meanwhile, was scheduled to be on the mission (and stuck in the deathtrap with the rest of them) before being stuck on shit-mop detail.
3) By the last stage of the deathtraps, Drunk Rick was starting to phone it in pretty hard (for ex. his rambling about Hawaii and needing to ‘rest his eyes’ during the basketball challenge), so it would be in character to set the last deathtrap to work on rudimentary biometric identification, i.e. height and weight; Noob-Noob’s build is notably different from the rest of the squad (about the only one who could fake it might be Million Ants if he willingly downsized to Quarter Million Ants or so), so this would be a relatively surefire move... had Noob-Noob not been left to mop up diarrhea with Morty (who is very similar in height and build) as the substitute.

Books and Their Many Forms
We all have been at that point where a hobby we’re passionate about gets set aside for a time. There are different reasons for this, of course. One is that we burn out and need a break. Another might be life’s obligations taking us away from it. I love to read. Escaping my, at times, petty problems, and delving into a world where I don’t have to think about my own shit is glorious. Buuut… Reading…

Frohman’s War: Campaign of AcceptanceSo, clearly I fail at blogging. And I also feel like I’m failing at editing. The third book, which I had hoped to have out about one year after the second (that would have been in January), is kicking my ever loving ass. My fabulous beta readers (you know who you are) have given valuable feedback, and now I’m so torn with what I spend my time on. Not to…

Editing Frustrations
Update time!
A several weeks ago I got back notes from one of my freaking awesome beta readers. He read Frohman’s War: Volley of Vows. I completed the changes a few days ago, and sent it to another wonderful beta reader. She’s helped out on all my published works, and some that haven’t been published yet. But Volley of Vows, which will likely be the final installment of the Frohman’s War series,…

The Lost Room
Have you ever that room in the house that got use, but then at some point became ignored and is now just a glorified storage room? And not even a storage room that’s organized. It’s chaotic. It’s a catch all. It’s horrifying enough to be in a movie about a house turning against the family who lives in it. This is the room PT and I began to about six weeks ago.

I Don’t Understand
Someone please explain the phenomenon that is sending/receiving nudes. Whether it’s from/to a person that you’ve only ever met online or someone you’ve met in person. I don’t get it, but it seems extremely popular.

Musing on World Building
Musing on World Building
Hello again! I’ve been missing you, but I didn’t know what to talk about. Also, life keeps happening. But here I am to share a thought on colors associated with gender. This is by no means something that’s only just occurred to me. I have had this thought many times throughout the world building process, but I haven’t talked about it before, so let’s do this shit.

A Little Update
I have not fallen off the face of the Earth. However, I am still dealing with personal shit. Talking about my personal struggles and the stress and worry around them is something that I know PT would not want on the blogs, and for the most part I agree with him. So, while I’d like to offer an explanation of why neither of us have been blogging as much as we probably should, I can only offer…

Stereotypes - Don't be Scared
Stereotypes – Don’t be Scared
Society tells us to ignore stereotypes. Not everyone from this or that culture acts the way they are most often depicted in media. That is so true. I believe that wholeheartedly. I like to see diversity of characters in the books I read. I don’t feel like I get that very often, and I’d like to see a fuller representation of all cultures in books, television, movies and media in general. BUT … and…

Fun with Slang Terms
Fun with Slang Terms
I love hearing new slang terms. Typically the slang terms that I fall in love with and incorporate into my own vocabulary also find their way into my writing. For every fantasy writer world building is essential. If you’re creating a world that differs from the here and now, you can have a lot of fun rediscovering old slang terms or inventing new ones.

Prologue and First Chapter of Campaign of Acceptance
A month ago I promise that at least a week the release I would publish the Prologue on this blog, but I’m not going to do that. Instead, I’m going to post the Prologue and the first chapter. I try and keep things on the blog relatively clean, so I am taking out a sex scene. Sorry, but if want those, you’ll have to buy the book on January 19th. So, without further ado, here is the Prologue and…
