Your Crown Of Kylthena update
It’s good news…and bad.
The good is that the final draft is almost done. I need to expand one or two scenes, and then nitpick the draft from first page to last, but when that’s finished the book will almost be good to go.
The bad is that Willow’s tendinitis is taking longer than expected to heal, and work on her thesis is taking up a lot of her time anyway. At this point, I’m going to have to assume she won’t be able to complete the cover until September, which means that the book won’t be out until this fall.
I hope you’ll forgive me for this delay. Sometimes, life does get in the way. All I can do is make The Crown Of Kylthena the best book I can, take the extra time to improve it and make it worth the wait…and I will.
Thanks for your patience, your understanding and your support.

if we’re all blogging somewhere let’s get there soon
Sunday means catching up, and here we go! First, and you’ll have to forgive me for the short notice, The Doubleclicks are holding another one of their great livestream shows today, starting at noon Pacific / 3:00 PM Eastern / 8:00 PM GMT / 9:00 PM CET! This one is going to be on Twitch instead of YouTube, so click here if you’re on a computer or download the app if you’re using a smartphone or tablet, and make sure to set up an account before the show starts. Prizes, possible surprise guests, and the chance of seeing a grown woman dressed as a banana! More after the cut.
Tomorrow is the official release date of the hardcover collection of Teri S. Wood’s Wandering Star comic, and she’s got a fun promotion going: Buy the book, leave a review on Amazon, and you can win one of more than 50 sketch cards! You can get the full details on Wandering Star and the contest here.
The great nerd-folk trio The PDX Broadsides have just released a new song to go along with the release of David D. Levine’s upcoming novel Arabella Of Mars. The song is called “Take The Air”, and you can hear it on their website and download it on Bandcamp. It’s free, which is way cool, but you can also leave a tip, which is also way cool. And check out their music – I like it quite a bit. (They were behind the “Miyazaki Dreams” song and video I linked to a while back.)
And finally: This could be fun.

where the blogs of society howl
On this sad day, my thoughts are with the survivors of this morning’s tragedy in Orlando, the families and friends and loved ones of the victims, and the good people there, especially in their LGBT community. I hold out hope that someday, we can finally fully accept each other’s differences and move beyond hate and fear and violence.
Happier topics after the cut. Continue reading

the spotlight’s hitting something that’s been known to blog the weather
Happy Sunday! Hope all of you are keeping cool where it’s hot, warn where it’s cold and dry where it’s rainy. It’s been hot here, and my apartment is quite muggy; I’m tempted to call it “Dagobah,” as it feels like I’m walking in a swamp every time I head to the kitchen… More after the cut. Continue reading
