Well, Squiders, here we are at the end of our re-read. I hope you’ve had a good time of it, and stay tuned for our next one, to be announced some time in the next few weeks. And it you
The Evolution of an Idea
Anthologies are always interesting. First you’ve got to come up with a theme for the overall anthology, and then you’ve got to come up with a story that fits for it. When we started brainstorming for Seasons Eternal, we had
Loving a Book in a Genre You Hate
I do not like historical fiction. It is my very least favorite genre. Not sure why–maybe I feel that the authors tend to force morals or ideas on the reader that are out of touch with the time period? Or
Following Authors Across Genre

Time Quintet Re-read: Many Waters
Hopefully no one got confused (like Ian *cough*) and read A Swiftly Tilting Planet instead. While Planet was published before Many Waters, Many Waters goes first chronologically. I still like it a lot. Bible mythology is one of my very
When Is a Bad Book Too Bad?
I’m curious, Squiders. At what point do you put down a book that you don’t like? One that you honestly feel like you are wasting your life by reading. One that you are wondering how it ever made it to
A Landsquid, a Turtleduck, and a Ghost Story Walk Into a Bar…
Hey, want to see what a landsquid looks like when you haven’t drawn one in a few months? My imagination is weird. Also, in celebration of the haunting season being afoot, you can read my new ghost story, The Door
