A writing team married to their work…and each other.
Hi everyone! Frog and I have been working on a zany horror, humor (and everything in between) speculative-fiction anthology, Cthulhu FhCon, headed over to Kickstarter soon! You can follow the campaign page for notice when the Kickstarter launches, head over to our Impulsive Walrus Books website for more updates, or subscribe to our newsletter. This…
I hope you had a delightful Halloween full of great costumes and fantastic times. This weekend, between all the sugar-fueled hijinks, Frog and I finished polishing the final chapters of GRACELESS, book four in our urban fantasy series. We’re so close to sending it off to our editor. Halloween and Yule have always been two of my favorite holidays. Times when it’s…
For the last seven years, Esther and I have watched our writing career lift off the ground. We’re under solicited submission to Baen, we’ve got a well-loved urban fantasy series, we’ve got stories in anthologies from a whole host of different publishers. We’ve appeared as pros and dealers at WorldCon, World Fantasy, and Westercon in…
We love Miscon. Alright, alright. Those of you who haven’t been are sitting there thinking “What’s Miscon? Where’s that?” Well, let’s start with this: it’s in Missoula. And it’s one of the best small cons there is. Yes, Missoula. Deal with it. I have a theory of why this convention is so awesome. You see,…
So, I’m in my hotel room at Norwescon. I don’t have a dealer table, and my panel appearances are kinda limited, so I’m making the best of it by getting as much done on Black Powder Goddess as I can. I’m deep into revisionland when all of a sudden a load, distorted voice from a…
No, we’re not doing NaNo this year. We didn’t do it last year, either. Fact is, I can’t foresee us doing a NaNoWriMo event ever again. It’s simply not an event that has value for us at our current place in our careers. Here’s what’s going on in our writing work at the moment:…
Is the new Ghostbusters movie any good? I have no idea. I haven’t seen it. Given the relatively decent review score (not stellar, but pretty good) over at Rotten Tomatoes, I’m thinking it’s probably a decent watch. I’ve been busy as hell, but this falls into the category of movies-I-wouldn’t-mind-watching. I read Brad Torgerson’s analysis of it, though, and…
You may have noticed that the publisher of our novels, and many of the anthologies in which we appear, is a single publisher: Now, that’s beginning to not be the case. We’ve got some stuff with Knotted Road press, and a story coming out with WordFire, but the vast majority of what we’ve…
I’m not going to do a con report for Miscon. Miscon was easily the greatest con experience Esther and I have had yet. This wasn’t because of the con staff (who were still great), or the hotel staff (who weren’t). Miscon is the con where, for lack of a better term, the fact of our…
Rant time. Jesus fuck, people. Just relax for a second. We’re all going to be OK. It’s true. There are some haters out there who have gotten on the internet and said bad things about The Force Awakens. Since 99.9% of the world shares my opinion that this movie is (a) awesome, and (b) a…
