Writing Update (and a Pigs in Space/Star Wars Mashup)

It’s been a while since I updated ya’ll on my writing. No time like the present, right? At this point, I basically have three major efforts that I’m working on actively. Vodnik–The book’s been officially accepted by my editor, and it’s gone on to the copy edit stage. It’s also being read by some culture specialists to ensure my handling of Roma culture is done properly. I expect to take another pass at the book toward the end of this month. That will mainly be focused on fixing the details. Misspelled words, consistency of description (did a character’s eye color […]

Family Newsletter, Snow Day, and Mailing the Contract

Care to sample this year’s Christmas newsletter that we made? It’s kind of a beast to make print copies, so we didn’t send one to a whole lot of people. Also, the print version has a special “Buttersby Saves Christmas” short story that I don’t really fancy having kicking around the internet, so it’s been removed from this copy. But other than that, it’s all there in its original glory. Enjoy. Now if you don’t mind me, they’ve called a half day at work due to the snow, so I’m going to pack up, go home and celebrate the fact
