For Canadians, today is a public holiday celebrating Queen Victoria and her reign. As of October last year, Victoria is no longer the longest reigning English monarch. Queen Elizabeth II has now claimed that record, and Victoria Day is also a celebration of her birthday (which is actually in April). Victoria Day is the oldest
A few days ago I was talking about how Carson’s Night came to be, and promised the full story later. I’ve updated and re-uploaded the article, “The Blood, Sweat and Gritty-Eyed Truth Behind Carson’s Night“, and linked it to the Articles page, which is looking pretty empty right now — updating and uploading articles will

Sometimes the passage of time sneaks up on you and smacks you in the face. Actually, not just sometimes, but usually it likes to knock you off your feet, just to keep you humble. I was talking to a long time reader of mine via email the other day and she mentioned that she “discovered”

…at least, that’s what one reader said on Amazon, about Cat and Company, the third and last (for now) book in the Interspace Origins series. Cat and Company was released last Thursday.

I recently started a brand new book in a brand new series. Actually, I’m lying. It’s really not a “new” series, because there’s already a book out…and I’d better back up and explain, huh? In August last year, I put out a short, stand-alone SFR (science fiction romance) story, called 5,001. It was an actual

I’m having a real issue with names at the moment. Let me explain. Depending on how you count them, with the release of Kiss Across Kingdoms last week, I now have either 59 books published, or 94 books published. Why the two numbers? I’ve been publishing books since 1999. Up until 2011, I was publishing

A few days ago in the newsletter, I gave readers a quick breakdown, a 101 (actually, more like a 0.0001) lesson on how to pronounce Welsh words and names. Then I found out that I have some readers actually living in Wales! So cool! All of them were very kind and didn’t point out any
