Writing
What’s up with the password protected story?
The post labled, “The Bride Replete” is about half of my current story in progress. I wanted to show it to some folks who were helping with my chemistry question to give them some context, so I posted it password protected. If you were reading Shades of Milk and Honey, it uses the same password

Shimmer Vol 2 #2 reviewed
Ookami reviewedShimmer Vol 2 #2 and loves us. This makes me happy, particularly the note taken of the art direction. I think our artists are wonderful, so it’s nice when someone else agrees with me. What I noticed about all the stories is the sheer intelligence that has gone into the writing, even the stories

Wistful Writings: Prime Codex – Review
Paul Abbamondi just reviewed Prime Codex the anthology from Paper Golem that I have a story in. A short piece that is positively sure to get you to mutter “a-ha!” at its cruelly twisted reveal, “Rampion” by Mary Robinette Kowal is the sort of story that is most enjoyable on its first read. Read it

Housewarming at Christina’s
It’s 1:30 am and I just got home from Christina’s housewarming party, which was the perfect way to end today. Besides hanging out with folks like Evan, Dave and David I also got to meet new folks like Garth and F.I. and Reuben. Good conversations, good food on seemingly every flat surface and beverages galore.

Tangent Online reviews Apex #9
Tangent Online reviews Apex #9 “Locked In†by Mary Robinette Kowal is a dark and serious piece of flash fiction that’ll disturb readers on any side of the “Pro-Life/Pro-Death†issue. The story is emotionally engaging, provocative, and leaves you thinking. A fine read that I highly recommend, but only to those who haven’t had to

Joe Cashore and his marionette horse
This, right here, is why I get cranky when I see an author write something like, “he flopped like a marionette.” Perhaps, “he flopped like a badly-operated marionette” might be applicable, but Joe Cashore will now demostrate that, yes, a marionette is capable of realistic movement. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live

Typewritten stories
We picked up the last of our typewriters (portable Smith-Corona with black pebbled finish) from the repair shop today. It has a smooth and lovely action. I typed a letter to celebrate. I think that, once we are in New York, I want to write a couple of short stories on our typewriters. I was

Predictability
Matt Wallace reviewed Apex #9 and had this to say about my story. Next up, flash fiction from Mary Robinette Kowal. It pains me to say this, but “Locked In” really didn’t get it done for me. It certainly didn’t have the impact that it seemed to have on others. I love Ms. Kowal to
Prime Codex and shameless promotion
Prime Codex is for sale! And you have multiple reasons to want a copy. I’ve sort of kept mum about one of them, I realize. You already know that my story, “Rampion” appears in the anthology. But there’s this other thing I forgot to mention. After I sold them “Rampion,” I had one of those
