It was an era of magic and wonder, of stories lost to the ages, of epic deeds and tales. There were giants in those days. And there were great relics to behold.
Some try to claim these relics never existed…
But they did. They truly did.

Tuesday catchup
Two things to get your Tuesday rolling. First, I forgot to mention that The Doubleclicks, our favorite sister geek-folk-rock-with-cat-keyboard duo, are holding a live streaming concert this coming Sunday, Valentine’s Day! Well, technically it’ll be at midnight GMT and 1:00 AM CET, but it’s on Valentine’s Day in the Western Hemisphere – 3:00 PM Pacific, 6:00 PM Eastern. There’ll be songs about love, dinosaurs, geeky fun things, and more! It’ll be on YouTube; click here to watch, or here to learn more about the band. See you there!
And a Happy Birthday to awesome pal Shei Darksbane! You know her as part of Darksbane Books and the main author of the Dakota Shepherd series, but she has also been a good friend in good times and bad, and one of my favorite people. Shei, I hope your birthday kicks butt! (In a good way!)

2016…the Year of the Monkey (Queen)!
Wishing of all you a Happy Chinese New Year! It’s 4714…the Year of the Monkey.
Things are off to a slow start this year for Michiko and Beth, but it won’t stay that way for long. Enemies are waiting for them. They’ll greet old friends and new, and adventure in new and familiar places.
By the time this year is over, Michiko and Beth will have faced their greatest challenges, confronted their greatest dangers and fears, and will celebrate their greatest triumphs…if they survive.
In the end, 2016 will be the Year of…the Monkey Queen! Stay tuned!

Les Dieux du Blog 2016 calendar
Raphie and Djy, a pair of French bloggers, have released a 2016 calendar, Les Dieux du Blog. Calomiel, the artist who drew my new avatar, invited me to take part, so I wrote a caption to accompany a lovely drawing she did for October. You can download the PDF of the calendar here; be advised that the text (except for my caption) is in French, and it is NSFW (nudity, mostly female). Thanks again to Raphie and Djy for letting me take part!

Disney Infinity: The Twelve Parsecs Of Christmas
Season’s Greetings, Merry Christmas and all that! I wanted to remind everyone that there’s still time to read “Best Christmas Ever”, the short story about Michiko and Beth’s first Christmas as roommates, before all the snowman cookies are gone. Pour an iced peppermint mocha and enjoy!
And I realized that we haven’t heard from the little gold milk chocolate bear in a while. Well, remember when Han Solo and Chewbacca made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs? Have you ever wondered what they were smuggling when they did that?
Now you know.
