New Story Available!

Oh. Y'know it's a crazy time when you, um, forget you have a story out.

My novella "Finder's Keeper" is part of the Civil War fantasy collection DEFIANCE, available as an e-book from Drollerie Press.

Davida was born to a well-to-do Boston family... but she was also the daughter of magic, given a Gift that demanded to be used. And so, in the chaotic and emotional days of the Civil War, she left the safety of her home, and went searching for what she was meant to Find...


This is actually part of a larger project, but stands alone in its original form.

and back to politics, one more time... (New York Senate voting info)

A quick guide for New Yorkers wondering where their senator stands on Marriage Equality:

If your senator is "opposed" or unknown," call and let them know where you stand. If they're supporting, call and thank them, encourage them to keep up the fight.

I've already thanked Senator Espada, saying "to deny marriage equality is to embrace bigotry and fear -- two things New Yorkers should stand up and reject."

Attention Holiday Shoppers!

In case one or two of you were wondering, the varietal of choice while writing THE WEIGHT OF STONE seems to have been zinfandel, with occasional forays this summer into sauvignon blanc. That surprised me, as I thought it would be shiraz or tannat blend. Live and learn...


An Update to the December 5th Signing in Binghamton, NY:

Yes, you can order a signed copy of ANY BOOK OF MINE IN PRINT, even if you are not in the area.

As per the store manager:
"If folks need it shipped to another Waldens, they just need to let me know which one (mall it is in, city, something. Store number if they are feeling super helpful and want to ask the folks at the store for me so I don't have to hunt it down). If they don't have a Waldens, I will ship it to them directly."

Remember, folk, the holidays are coming up! A signed, personalized hardcover makes a fabulous gift -- and so easy to gift-wrap! (and if you ask, we'll even wrap it for you! But be warned, pbray is picking the paper...)
