RIP Peggy Rae Sapienza
Back when I was secretary at SFWA, we had a Nebula Awards Weekend in which the con chair’s house burned down. Peggy Rae Sapienza stepped in to help and was amazing. From the front of house, that weekend looked very smooth, and that’s largely because she was good at spotting problems before they became problems.

A self-interested post about my Hugo eligible works AND some work that I really, really, really liked.
Hello! It’s that time of year again, where the Hugo nominations are about to close and all of your author friends are saying “Look! I wrote stuff!” I am right there with them, because it’s hard to remember what comes out in a given year. So… if you are nominating for the Hugos and have an empty
How many Babylonians does it take to light an oil lamp?
Three. One to light the lamp, another to consult the law governing oil lamp lighting, and a third to smite the hand that let the lamp go out. How many Spartans does it take to light an oil lamp? 400. One to change the oil, and 399 to defend his right to do so. To

Debut Author Lessons: Should you be a full-time writer?
A lot of writers have a goal of being a full time writer. I think there’s this image of your life continuing exactly as it is, except that now your job is writing. Sure, you know you won’t go into an office, but it will be so nice to have no demands on your time,

Ghost Talkers 21 is up, for those of you reading along.
After way the heck too long, I’ve finally posted another chapter in Ghost Talkers. Why did that take so long? Because I realized that I had a pacing issue and needed to cut a scene I’d already written and move a plot point to another one. Which involved a lot of restructuring of things. It

I’m 46 today! Have a novelette as a party favour.

February 5th – I’m declaring it Mary Elois Jackson Day. Celebrate with me?
I feel like, when a date has been celebrated for over a hundred years, that it really ought to be able to continue to be celebrated. Grandma would have been 110 today. This is the first year that I haven’t called her on her birthday since I was old enough to dial the phone on

I’m in the studio this week to record Of Noble Family. I’ve been wanting to show you what the recording process is like, but that requires getting permission from the author.

Make a suggestion. What should be out the window in this drawing?
What you have here is a drawing that I did on my new tablet. It’s actually been a really long time since I’ve drawn. I mean I was an art major, back in the day, but that was 25 years ago. But this new tablet, see, it has a touch sensitive stylus. So… I started
