What Inspires Me, Part 1:
I’ve been to many conventions. When Kris and I were dealers, we would go to up to eight a year. When I met Kris (or more precisely, re-met Kris – that’s another story) she introduced me to Loscon, the Los Angeles Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention. That was about 34 […]

Back to the closet
We had a friend for dinner last night – no, not in the Hannibal Lecter way. Liz Carlie came over to be a guinea pig for a new recipe I wanted to try – Easy Pizza Casserole. Kris and I met Liz at one of the blood drives at Loscon […]

Taking a Break
I think I’ve mentioned this before, but sometimes my life feels like work, write, sleep, work, write, sleep, work, write, sleep. With the shutdown here in California, there are not a lot of places you can go out to for a change of scenery. Today Kris and I went out […]
