The 3-Month Project
I love our deck. It’s 50′ x 10′ (spans the length of the house) and looks out on woods … and the garden, if you look down. Now that I’ve figured out how to not be bug lunch, I am thoroughly enjoying the evenings out...

Eureka! For years (my entire life, actually) I have been bug lunch. I tried everything – even the icky commercial repellents didn’t work. I’ve always known I have a weird physiology but to not have a single one work? I had...
Even though the Ogre’s Assistant books have been out in ebook format for three and two years, there’s something about paper that makes it seem more real. They’re real! Printing costs being what they are, the paperbacks are only...
Last fall (my, how time flies) a young Italian friend interviewed me via Skype. His intent was to create a podcast series on traditional witches but, as happens frequently, life got in the way. So, he sent it on to me to publish. Therefore, I...
A couple of weeks ago, I posted a plaint. Fudge was getting too wordy in his story to keep putting up 1,000± word posts – the menu to the right would get entirely too long! After talking with some folks and thinking about it, I’ve...
As you can see from the sidebar, Fudge has been telling his story to Amy. (No clue who they are? Read about their adventures here.) I had originally intended it to be a novella, around 20,000 words or about one chapter per life. Fudge, for all...
I awoke to the light of a candle and the smell of cooked meat. I hoped there was rice being served with it – I was hungry! At some point I had been transferred from the traveling tube to my clay jar. Probing Hui’s mind, I discovered that we were...

Life returned to normal. That is to say, exacting tribute of cattle from lesser kings, attempting to exact tribute by force from those who did not wish to pay it, and the quarterly gatherings at Tara. It was at one of these gatherings that...
At the age of thirty, Aoife was declared a fully-trained seeress and given her choice of life: either travel, as did Dalaigh, to find the exceptional children; or be assigned to a nobleman as his personal diviner. She chose the latter, for which...
