I started sketching in front of the TV yesterday. I finished the painting today. I call it "The Dream-Haired Woman." Thanks to my new friend J.T. Ellison and the half-hour drive home from Sherlock’s, there’s a whole story that goes along with that. I know exactly how I want to start my next piece. HOWEVER — I received a…
Because Ingram doesn’t allow us access to Facebook email anymore, I’d been remiss about returning a note from fabulous local thriller author J.T. Ellison. So when I found out she was part of the Mystery Writers Convention being held today at Sherlock’s Books I said to myself, "Self, get your butt out of this house and go be polite….
In our most passionate Tea in Space podcast to date, Janet Lee and I get all fired up about certain nitpicky items in Ken Scholes’ new book LAMENTATION.

YES, Kitti broke her arm over the weekend, and will not be at work for the next couple of days. NO, I did not push her down at the roller rink. I’ve been asked at least four times now. Really, people. I know you don’t *actually* think I’d do harm to anyone, but that you mentioned i at all…

If you’ve been a member of Teh Intarwebs in the last month, then you’ve heard about this job, touted as The Best Job in the World. Lillie sent it to me partly as a joke, but with the undertone of "you know this job would be perfect for you." And she was right. I did my research before applying…
Mary has put up the Iron Chef Pear Battle series on her Picasa album. Photos of Formal Night and the Steampunk Photo Shoot TK. (Heck yeah, we know how to do a writers retreat…)
Because Mary is awesome and put this together.

Not only has Mary been in more of these battles than she has fingers, but she is a much better chef than I, has much more practical experience with experimental cooking, and–hello!–it WAS HER BIRTHDAY PARTY. Even still, I planned on putting…
tl;dr: You can buy it directly from the printer…
