Wherein I Babble About Random Things


THE BOOKS HAVE GONE WIDE!


Well, at least two of them have.  The third is still waiting out its term in KU, but as soon as that's done...Woo!  So, Snowed In and Smoked Out are both available on multiple platforms now!  Including Kobo

SUPER PRETTY LINKS:



So yeah.  Check them out, if you want.  They're both still available on Amazon, of course, as paperbacks as well.

Cherry Update

I've washed, pitted, bagged and frozen...40 cups of cherries so far.  Which is approximately 10 L of them.  I'll use about 4cups/batch of whatever it is I'm making (jam or pie filling or whathaveyou), so I'll have a lot of canning to do.  Especially since I've still got another ~10L left to pit.

And apples to pick.

Speaking of jam, I used the raspberries from the garden and some blueberries from the store to make jam today.  I friggin love the colour:

Yes, I know my counter needed cleaning.  It's since been done.  And then messed up again when we started dinner.

Look at that!  Look how red it is!

Now if I could only get it to set...I might have to reprocess it tomorrow, maybe boil it down a little longer...

Book Is Still...Booking.

It's...yeah.  Got a better idea of where it's going now.  I'm hoping tomorrow I'll find out if I got that job I applied for...or not.  It's part time evenings...hopefully.  Which is going to make writing time difficult, since during the day is when I'm watching the kids, and evening is (usually) when I write...

Bleeeeeeh.

That's what I feel about that.

Anyway, see you next time...

Terrible Minds Flash Fiction Challenge - Strange Photos

Thought I'd have a go at one of these.   Challenge was to search "Strange Photos" and pick one, write 1000 (or 1146, in this case) or so words of whatever comes to mind because of it.  My dip into the 'strange photos' section of Google Images dumped me right in the lap of the Merrilyn Cryptid Museum  which is full of the apparently re-discovered remains of various mythological creatures, all preserved and displayed all scientific and stuff. Anyway, here is... dun dun dun... The Collector Photo Credit: Alex CF 2016 In the basement, the boxes lie. A rustling of parchment.  Flicker of the gas lamps.  Scratching of nib against paper.  But otherwise, silence.  And a forest of boxes. The man at the desk put down his pen and blotted the ink.  He surveyed his handiwork, double checking for mistakes.  There were none, so he spread a layer of paste in the appropriate space and pressed the label into it: Homomimus ...

A New Store - And Some Other Things

So.  Updates.  Yay. The elder two kids are outside, in splash-pants and rain coats.  It's not raining (it's actually supposed to snow later, got a storm warning and everything.  Yay for March in the mountains.), but everything is wet as hell on account of the snow finally melting.  It also smells of camping because there's a fire going near by. ...I want to go camping so bad, you have no idea... Anyway - I started a Cafe Press shop .  It's named after my fantastically non-witty blog because I couldn't think of anything else, It also hasn't got much in there right now (and what there is is kinda cheesy), but I figured...what the hell.  Someday, someone might want a shirt that relates to my books/website/brand thing I'm trying to build for myself.  Or a stainless steel water bottle.  Or an interesting sicker.  Someone like...well, me. And maybe my mum. Or maybe, someday, one of you guys.  One can hope. Plus, I'm thinking o...
