  • Backing out of Seattle Sherlock panels

    Backing out of Seattle Sherlock panels

    I go and announce a thing I’m attending in a writerly capacity–and then keel over and have to go to the hospital. Figures. *^_^*;; Due to the previously mentioned hospital incident, folks, I feel I must play it safe and back out of the panels I agreed to participate in at the Sherlock Seattle convention…

  • Missed CoyoteCon, oops, and a fellow author recommendation!

    Missed CoyoteCon, oops, and a fellow author recommendation!

    Y’all know how I said I was going to be participating in CoyoteCon this past weekend? Um, yeah, well, that kind of fell through with the whole suddenly having to be in the hospital for five days thing I just had to do. Happily I’m fine now, but I was sad to miss the CoyoteCon…

    The Great Canadian Adventure, Day 5–MEMOIRE ET RACINES!

    I’m going to do an entire post about Memoire et Racines, because I am here to tell you, Internets, that deserves an entire post to itself even if we only made it to one day’s worth of awesome! And this is going to get long, so this is getting a fold!

  • A few quick site updates and one great big announcement

    A few quick site updates and one great big announcement

    First and foremost, re: that poll I had up for y’all the other day, I have reached a formal decision. For reasons I still can’t tell you about yet (but which I will be doing ASAP), y’all should look for the name of Angela Highland to be coming into play on this site in the…

  • A pen name poll!

    A pen name poll!

    And now, O Internets, in the category of Things I Can’t Tell You About Yet, the issue has arisen that I need to take on a pen name. Not for issues of needing to conceal what names I’m writing under–because I won’t be–but more in the interests of using a name that’s easier to spell…

  • Dental surgery–and today’s Murkworks Movie Suckoff!

    Dental surgery–and today’s Murkworks Movie Suckoff!

    Went in to see my new dentist for gum graft surgery today, which is because I’ve got a few spots in my mouth where the gums have pulled back enough to expose the roots of my teeth. This has caused me all sorts of sensitivity issues, and my new dentist’s recommendation was that we do…

    Further arrangements for the Canadian Adventure!

    Just snagged weekend passes for Dara and me to the Newfoundland & Labrador Folk Festival, the big festival that was our main reason for going to St. John’s to begin with–even if we’ll be skipping out on it on August 4th to scamper up to Torbay for Great Big Sea instead. 😀 We figured screw…

  • Great Atlantic Canadian Adventure is GO!

    Great Atlantic Canadian Adventure is GO!

    Dara and I started serious work on booking this last night, and discovered to our chagrin that the fares for cross-country Canada trains are prohibitively expensive! So our Trainventure is going to have significantly fewer trains than expected. But that’s OKAY. Because this entire trip is going to brimming over with so much awesome that…
