    Hooray for the Blue Tsunami!! I'm so freaking relieved. I also finished and turned in BEYOND THE BRIARS! Also, a story about annoying old white guys, wedding rings, and writing romance.

  • First Cup of Coffee – October 28, 2026

    I am #thisclose to finishing NtR3, BEYOND THE BRIARS! I'm talking about story ideas and how they are like colorful glass globes to me--and how I wish I could preserve them that way. How to know when a book is "done," and the eternal battle against perfectionism. Also, about Nghi Vo's THE SCARLET BALL and how much I love it!

    Are you all dealing with BS "advice" responses to your writing posts? I sure got weird ones when I posted about hitting 88,888 words on my mss and did that mean I could stop. Also, highly recommend YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING, which is also related to scammers and BS. Finally, on the generosity of the writing community, which is there whether you have the wit to see it or not.

    I'm deep into finishing BEYOND THE BRIARS (Never the Roses 3) and have serious book brain. Random thoughts on small worlds, the stood-up-for-dinner trope, and doing work with the subconscious in #therapy.

  • First Cup of Coffee – October 8, 2026

    My so-far revision of BEYOND THE BRIARS (Never the Roses 3) is almost done! Otherwise I'm mostly delving into my rant about a much disliked trope: where man is stood up by powerful woman partner and it hurts his feels.

    A correction to last week's podcast (Aidan Quinn, *not* Liam Neeson!), along with a story about how my weird brain scrambles names. Also, on officially cancelling/postponing the release of PRINCES, POTIONS, AND PIXIE DUST. And thoughts on envious techbros and how their longing to be real creatives and disdain for genre led to them being genuinely evil in training their "AI" monsters.

    My mixed (and spoilery) review of Practical Magic 2. Also thoughts on Ed Sheeran (TLDR: sigh). Otherwise I'm working away on Never the Roses 3 and happy for rain in Santa Fe! Special Cats and New Mexico weather episode :D

    How changing the name of New Mexico to New America is absurd on every level. (When did Monty Python start writing the script???) Also the Southern New Mexico Book Festival and a childhood story about why I learned it was bad to be a sensitive person - and how we affect people in our lives.

     How to read Publisher's Marketplace Deal Reports and other arcania of how traditional publishing finances work. Also my very cool appearances at Fan X Phoenix and people who do and don't (and why it isn't shocking at all).
