For most of you who read the blog this is doubled (or even tripled) information but it’s that time of year again – aka The Great Culling of MCD’s Mailing List! This simply means that anyone who hasn’t opened my last five emails (through my mailing list, not the blog) is about to get the […]

Bed bugs 2021 (2020?)
We’re having a crazy morning. The short version of the story is: somehow in the midst of Covid19 we got bed bugs. Yes, we haven’t left the property for more than a few hours since the beginning of March, we haven’t had any visitors (we literally live in a one-room cabin with two exterior studio […]
When I start really digging into a new series, I deliberately surround myself with little visual touchstones. These items usually find a semi-permanent home on my desk or windowsill and I trade them out when working on different books/series. I was in the very first moments of brainstorming the Archivist Series last fall when I […]

Moments of the Adept Universe.
I launched into January 2021 with a multi-tiered plan. Not resolutions, but a tweaking of a few aspects of my writing life. Okay, I’m always attempting to reduce portions sizes and get back to daily yoga/pilates. But those are continual personal goals that I’m pretty good at maintaining unless something extreme happens, such as my […]

I’m very possibly in the middle of losing a battle with a techgod. It’s subtle, but ignoring the signs of the demise of my computer set up might just be pure stupidity at this point. Firstly, it probably important for you to know that I’m not great with change. See the keyboard I’m still using […]

Spying on Michael
The headache really spiked earlier (it isn’t great now either but I’m trying), and while I was trying to soothe myself (THC cream and peppermint oil on temples, controlled breathing, etc), I took a moment to sneakily spy on Michael cutting the rafters he’s installing today. He caught me, of course. The addition can only […]

Dream Rages
Me: I had the craziest rage dream early this morning …. about Chinese food. Michael: Okay … Me: We were with a group of people, maybe 12, but I can’t remember anyone, of course.* And I wanted to order Chinese for dinner, then three of the assholes hanging with us were all like, ‘oh, yuck, […]
