Actual footage of me trying to write anything this year: Like most of us, I struggled with producing new work this year, and as a result I only have one publication to remind you of in this year end post. (I actually had to google that it did come out this year, because it happened … Continue reading Eligibility Post 2020

Here's the blurb: If you think cats and water don’t mix, think again. Plunge into worlds of piratical cats: some selfish, … Continue reading Swashbuckling Cats, Ahoy!

Everyone said "LOL that's a hilarious idea" Then last summer Tyche Books put out the call for submissions. I ended up writing a silly … Continue reading Contributors Announcement: Swashbuckling Cats

Review: Mem by Bethany C. Morrow

Morrow
Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story
I've neglected this blog a little bit, but I think it will work out. I read H. Rider Haggard's She for my November Canon Blast post-- which you can find over on my Patreon for just $1/month-- and it was a hoot. And I mean that sarcastically, because I really did not like it at … Continue reading Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story

Hello friends! This is a different kind of wrap up post. It's been brought to my attention that Awards Season is upon us, and I do have a couple of things that are eligible.
