More in the ongoing exploration of what’s on my TBR shelf, virtual as it may be. This has been great, honestly: it’s reminded me of LOTS of books I’d forgotten about. And as of when I started writing this particular post, I’ve only bought four new ones… :D Still only linking to Amazon (all links are affiliate, I will earn some bitty percentage if you click through and use my links, etc etc etc) for these titles instead of doing the whole kit & kaboodle but if there are books…
Are we doing the 2024 Retrospective thing? Yeah? We are? Okay, well, I did a metric shit tonne this year, and I know it, and of course I also didn’t get anything like nearly as much as I needed or wanted to done. But let’s focus on the positive. I wrote in the region of 400K words, I think, with 4 books (WEAR WOLF, DEATH OF AN IRISH DRUID (out in January), OCTOBEARFEST and PARTRIDGE IN A BEAR TREE), 2 novellas (LION ON LOAN, KOALAFIED FOR LOVE), a massive revision which…
Over on Bluesky one of my friends was doing a “31 days of books on my to-read shelf,” listicle thing. I thought that was a good ‘un, so I started doing one too. I thought I’d port it over here.

Merry and Happy to those as celebrates, and peace and love to all as doesn’t. …which is not to suggest those what celebrates shouldn’t have peace and love, or that those as don’t should not be merry and happy. :) For Christmas, I got dishcloth yarn and a raging tendency toward idiotic impulses which led me to knit an entire dishcloth today (which would be one thing if I could knock one out in an hour the way they claim proficient knitters can, but, uh, no). I will now have…
This week marks the 20th anniversary of me becoming a full-time writer! I’ve published 52 books in that time (with 2 more — PARTRIDGE IN A BEAR TREE and DEATH OF AN IRISH DRUID, do feel free to preorder :D — due out in the next 8 weeks), 13 novellas, a dozen or so short stories not associated with longer collections, and a graphic novel. That seems like quite a lot, tbh. And I’m sure I’m missing some short stories and things, but overall it’s probably close enough. I’m currently…
