Similarly, the setting for her new steampunk novel Boneshaker is the Pacific Northwest, as opposed to the Southern settings of Four and Twenty Blackbirds and Fathom (Tennessee and…

One, Two–Princes Who Adore You

Know what’s awesome?Jamie & Bobby Deen. Paula Deen‘s sons, in case you’re not familiar. They were late for their visit here, but they were worth every minute. Such kind, jovial, down-to-earth Southern gentlemen–they made you want to pull up a rocking chair and offer them some sweet tea. The folks here could have talked to them all day…and I…

Post-con Princess

This is the scene in my dining room. It’s looked this way for a week now, because I came home sick from Dragon*Con AND I’M STILL SICK. I’m a healthy person.
