…literally.
Now that we've moved downtown, I've been riding my bike two and from work. Today is day three . . . ouch!
Still no DSL, but it's supposed to be hooked up tomorrow. We'll see.
I've finished chapter one of Tiopa rewrites. 3k in 3 days. Definitely back in the saddle […]
Fortitude Press is pleased to announce that we will be participating in DC BardFest. The convention will be held in Washington, DC, October 4-5. All of Fortitude's titles will be available for purchase at the Con, including two new releases: The Wrong Trail Knife by Jane Fletcher and Castle Walls by D. Jordan Redhawk.

Work's been a bear, and we're packing like mad people. We move next weekend. I work right up until Thursday night. Friday my plan is to clean the refrigerator, defrost the freezer, and scrub the bathroom down. After the move (and Sunday lazing about the house in exhaustion,) I return to […]

Additionally, Kathleen’s original arrival […]
but now it's time to get back to work.
I’m a quarter of the way through Tiopa Ki Lakota. Currently, I’m taking the manuscript from .html to .doc format (i.e. deleting the extra spaces between paragraphs and such,) and plugging the scenes into an outline. When this is completed, my next step will be […]
YAAAAY, ME!!!
Writing a psychic battle with no personal experience ain't easy.
It's almost as difficult as writing a sex scene.
Finished Castle Walls and returned it just after midnight last night (this morning?) This should be the final go through! YAY!
Went to bed and had a rude awakening a few hours earlier. Food poisoning. Blech. Laid in misery for about an hour, uncertain in which direction I'd lose whatever was […]
