don’t abandon the light, don’t step away, don’t blog up that tune that you never could play

Sunday catchup, and this once, I’m skipping the cut as I don’t have a lot to say. Work on the secret project is going well; the first draft should be concluded later this week. I still don’t know when I’ll be able to say more about this, but when I get the go-ahead to say more, you’ll hear all about it. I will say that I’m having a blast writing this, and I hope you’ll have one reading it.

I posted earlier this week about my state of mind, so I won’t repeat that here. But I will mention that today is World Kindness Day. I have my doubts about these kind of days – there’s a National Oatmeal Day, for goodness’ sake – but right now, a little kindness won’t hurt and could help a lot. How you approach that is up to you, but I hope you’ll consider doing something, and keep a little kindness going in the months and years to come.

And I have to admit I can never say no to helping Girl Scouts…and I can also never turn down penguins.

where the blogs of society howl

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

rich man can ride, and the blogger, he can drown

US readers can get all five Monkey Queen books through the Kobo site, Canadians can hit Indigo, and you can always search your favorite e-book store for “Monkey Queen” or “Robert Dahlen!” More after the cut.

Brazilian and Portuguese Monkey Queen fans: A request (updated)

If you’re a Portuguese speaker and a fan of Michiko and Beth, I could use your help with a publishing matter. I want to keep things confidential for now, so please contact me by email or using the contact form. Thanks! (3/15: I’ve had someone contact me, so help is no longer needed for now. Thanks.)

For the rest of you, here’s a penguin video. Because penguins.
