It doesn’t seem like I’ve been all that silent here, but I have been. We experienced one of those life events that knocked us out of our routine and put us into a whole new world. A week ago Sunday, Dean tripped during a 5K run. He was going very fast, passing people and enjoying […]

Continue ReadingEven more Spanish academic article reading this month, some of which were fascinating, particularly one on proposed changes in the methodology of anthropology. But never fear, I’m not going to recommend any of it. I also (for my sins) had to read The Cherry Orchard by Chekhov for the 100th time. God, I loathe that […]
Continue ReadingWell, May was super busy, with finals and a workshop that I was teaching and the Licensing Expo. I got behind writing up the recommended reading, and then I got sick in the first part of June, so I couldn’t finish this. I did manage to read a startling amount, though, considering I was also […]
Continue ReadingAs I write this, we’re 50 hours from the end of the Crimes Collide Kickstarter. Because of the wonderful support of the backers, we have hit 7 stretch goals. Which means that for a $30 back, you’ll get the 5 mystery collections of 20 stories each (10 from me and 10 from Dean). You’ll also […]
