"I’ve never met a writer…" The Writing Life
Me, Steph, J. and The Old Man went out to dinner last night to celebrate The Old Man winning a shiny Fellowship that will make it possible for him and Steph to eat come January. Talk inevitably turned to Jim Butcher’s new book. J. and The Old Man are big fans of Butcher. “Are you

Wiscon
For better or worse, I won’t be able to make it this year. I owe bunches of taxes this year and I needed to put my book checks toward furniture, heat, and a car. So, no Wiscon. Next year, tho, I’ll be peddling a pretty sweet-ass little book. So I think attendance is mandatory.

Urban Fantasy Vs. Brutal Women
Though often annoyed, I’ve been trying to resolve myself to getting a sex kitten urban fantasy cover for God’s War (complete with moon, over the shoulder glance, and back tattoo). I wasn’t sure how to sell “Brutal ass kicking woman” on the cover who isn’t all sex-kittened up. They all want to draw a sex
