As I mentioned in previous posts, I really got behind on my recommended reading lists. But I stored the books and articles, knowing I could catch up. I didn’t expect to get nearly seven months behind, but then I didn’t expect the last few years either. I’ve put out most of the old lists. Now, […]

I decided to do the Recommended Reading List as intended, releasing it the month after I did the reading. I got behind earlier in the year, so the place where I store the recommended reads has turned into a towering mass of fiction. I’m going to catch up on those, but first, I’ll put up […]

As we do every January, Dean and I are participating in Kickstarter’s Make 100 Project. This year, we put together five big thick books with stories from our various series.

Continue ReadingFebruary got away from me. I was working on a deadline and dealing with several other things. Plus a nightmare course at school that I eventually dropped. (The course was cursed; the original prof had left the university suddenly, so they substituted a woman whose Spanish was as good as mine [which is to say, […]
Continue ReadingI confess: there’s a lot of material here from June. You see, as I was about to write the last few recommendations on the June list, a massively ugly flu hit. I missed the deadline, but the list went up automatically. Incomplete, but declared done by the deadline. You won’t know what’s July or June, […]

A few weeks ago, I asked my Patreon supporters to let me know what they thought were the big take-aways in 2018. Since I had so many life changes and adventures in 2018, I wasn’t able to keep up on everything in the industry the way I usually do. The Patreon folk came through, and […]
