Book signing soon

Well, the book signing is in two days, and I think I’ve gotten most of the things I need together. I’m dragging my own copies of the books in to show people, and Ian made up a flyer that has the Lulu storefront on it plus synopses of each book. I’ve printed out about thirty or so business cards with the same web address and the titles of Two Minds Are Better Than One and The Continue reading →

Book titles

I stink with book titles. I really do. I mean, for years I simply referred to each of the separate books in the fantasy series as Book One, Book Two, Book Three… Well, you get the point, on up to Book Nine. Hell, mentally, I still refer to them by their number. I have a list of their titles around here somewhere, but other than the first three books, I couldn’t tell you the names of any Continue reading →

Unconventional cook

I don’t cook much. Actually, aside from heating things up in the oven or microwave, I rarely cook at all, much to the husband’s dismay. There are, however, several dishes that I and I alone fix when the mood strikes such as spaetzle and lasagne and tartines. Anymore, I’ll get a craving for sauerkraut or German fries and that, of course, means bratwursts boiled in beer. That’s what was Continue reading →

Closed off

I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately. Mind you, it’s not of the book variety but of the on-line variety, mostly concerning the characters in the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney games and more specifically about one character in particular: Miles Edgeworth, a prosecutor with a stick up his butt and emotional issues out the ass. Uh, sorry about the odd imagery there, but had you any Continue reading →

Random aside

Just a thought before I forget to mention it: I’m really digging Pandora.com. You type in an artist or song and it’ll find other music in the same style and play it on-line streaming. You can even sign up for it and it’ll remember what “stations” you listen to. I’ve got one with music like Johannes Pachabel and the other is more akin to Tchaikovsky. I’ll likely make one with music like Simon Continue reading →

EEEEEEEEEEK!!

The past week has been a busy one. Last Friday, Katie and the kids swung by the Jasper Public Library to look at my murals and chit-chat a bit while they were down pestering the parents. They were having a cookout at the parents’ later, but I worked until 5 and knew I’d be tired by the time I got home. Still, awesome to see them. I haven’t seen them since Rook’s graduation. Friday night Continue reading →

Asexuality

So I’ve been thinking (in and of itself a bad idea), and I was wondering why asexuality isn’t as illegal as homosexuality. I suppose homosexuality isn’t technically illegal in most states, but it’s unrecognized officially at best and society abhors it at worst. Still, one of the major reasons that most people whinge about homosexuality as being bad is because it simply cannot lead to a Continue reading →

Novelty

If you go to the Jasper Public Library website and type in either my name or “Two Minds Are Better Than One,” you’ll see that (currently as of the time of this posting) both books are checked out. Madness, says I. It’s hard to imagine other people reading my works despite having taken four or five creative writing classes in college where an entire room of people was reading my Continue reading →
