Call of Cthulhu: Teddy, Irritating Moral Compass

This week’s CoC session began with us still in Derby, where we spent a while trying to figure out how to break into the walk-in safe on the factory floor (a factory which, if you will recall, two of our party broke into “because we hoped there might be monsters,” only to be told straight-up by the GM that there were no monsters here, lads, you’re just criminals. :laughs:), a conversation that eventually went: GM: You do have dynamite. Dylan, sharpshooter: That’s right, I do! Teddy, horrified: We cannot blow…

Release Day: PEACOCK ON PARADE

My new shifter romance PEACOCK ON PARADE is available now! This is the second in an ongoing story of novellas set around the fictionalized Fota Wildlife Park in Cork, Ireland; in these books, it’s the Shamrock Safari Wildlife Park and many of its residents–either permanent or temporary–are shifters who can transform from human into an animal form and back again. They’re light, fun, and charming, and I got to borrow a friend’s name for the heroine of this one, which made it even more fun to write than usual. :D…

things you shouldn’t say to writers

Elsewhere, when I posted the DEMON HUNTS cover, a reader responded with words to the effect of “I’d rather have new books than new covers.” ::looks into the camera:: Another reader stepped in to try to head them off at the pass, said I’d gotten the rights back and that I was re-releasing them with my own covers and that the story was finished. Unfortunately, the OP responded with “if the main character isn’t dead, the story isn’t over!” ::LOOKS. INTO. THE CAMERA:: Part of me wants to say “I…

Jon Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi discography revisitation – the 80s

Over on BlueSky, my friend Mame and I decided we were gonna do a chronological Bon Jovi discography revisitation and pick what we thought were the three best songs off each album. We’re going to include live albums and some compliations, as well as Jon’s solo stuff (at least, we’re going to do BLAZE OF GLORY. I assume we’re also doing DESTINATION ANYWHERE, but I haven’t verified that yet). That’s more than twenty albums, and IDK if we’re doing weekends, so it’ll take a while to get through it all!…
