Update on "A Change of Heart"

Today I worked on my current story, "A Change of Heart," which I will submit to CBAY Books in September for their Giants and Ogres anthology. I also spent a lot of time researching thatched-roof blackhouse cottages and mythology surrounding the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.

A Giant Story and a Miniscule Post

In the works:  a story about a giant!  I am writing this for CBAY Books.

On the Legalization of Gay Marriage

Congratulations to all of the men and women in this country who have waited too long to be granted the simple freedom to marry. I am so happy for you!

Update on "Weight"

So I'm working on "Weight," and the big question I'm asking myself is, "Seriously, why does Merka climb up to the dragon's cave? The reason you give in this story is not good enough."

As if "Because it's a dragon. In a cave. Filled with gold." is not reason enough. *sigh*

But it isn't.

Back from Vacation!

Last week I went on a family vacation to Colorado and used some of the time to improve parts of "Weight" that I felt needed fixing.

Books, a Review, and the Day-Job

Tonight I took out some of what I wrote in the Ghost Hunter story last night and revised it.
I also reviewed a book called Witch-Finders by Vanessa Knipe, which I thought was very good--go read it!--and I'm eagerly awaiting The Mist Gate Crossings: Bascom's Revenge by Susan Bianculli.

Work has been very hectic because we've had to squeeze five days worth of work into three, right before two major events we're putting on. The one I'm involved with will last only a few hours, but the one some of my co-workers are involved in will last several days. We're going crazy at the office this week.

Horrified Press

Tonight I wrote 624 words in my Ghost Hunter story that I'm working on for Horrified Press.
