2014 was definitely a mixed bag for me personally, but one thing that came out of it that I’m so proud of is Olde School. So I’m surprised and pleased to find it’s been put on the 2014 Preditor & Editor Reader’s Poll in two categories – Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Young Adult! Things like this may … More Olde School in Preditor&Editor Reader’s Poll!
Yeah, sorry. What can I say, I find all sorts of stuff when I’m digging through The Vaults. And since it’s not looking that I’ll have a white Christmas, I’ll just let me grade school past self wax poetic about snow. Jan the snow lady is cold and eats carrots. She is big and … More The Lost Manuscripts: Jan the Snow Lady
People love asking me different things about writing, about designing and building costumes, about performing, about all my aspects of creative life. However, there’s one that I think all creative types get the most, the one that’s probably one of the most fun to answer (if we’re being honest and in a playful mood) but … More Where I Get My Ideas or A Terrifying Look Into SJ’s Mind

So along with prepping for Imaginarium, trying to get life back in order after Mark’s passing, getting some tidbits in order, and building a troll, I’m also trying to look forward with Olde School promotion. Since it’s a title I believe in full throttle, I thought it might be time to revisit it in the … More Upcoming Olde School…
Okay, okay, we’ve gotten a little heavy in the past couple of posts. While I stand by all that, it’s time to lighten things up before I totally hole up in my feelings somewhere…After the past couple of weeks, I definitely need to remember some lighter stuff. So early in July, I broke down and … More Kickstart my Nightmare: Cooper & Crue
Admittedly I get lost in my thoughts when big things happen. I think it’s natural, to an extent, at least for me, and probably for a lot of creative types. I don’t consider myself a strong person.
