Most of a year ago Faith Hunter and I decided to write a crossover novella with our two main characters, Joanne Walker and Jane Yellowrock. We thought we’d have it done this past summer, but, um, we didn’t. But now it’s done! And this week we’re doing a soft launch on it, and giving our loyal fans and readers a chance to buy a PDF of the novella for $1.99, a dollar less than it’ll be going for on Amazon, B&N and other online retailers. So without further ado…EASY PICKINGS!…

flailing
I’m flailing around at the end of this draft. I’m in the Novelist’s Event Horizon. The end of the book is the same distance away as it has always been, as it will always be.

We’re verging on finally releasing “Easy Pickings” into the wild! All we have to do is, um, learn how to upload it to Amazon and other places. Which actually I have zero idea of how to do. It can’t be that hard, can it? (…although it may be less intuitive than I think it should be. Um.) Right. Anyway! We’re planning to release it on the 15th, and in the meantime, here’s the cover!
totally inadequate fudge
I’d been having a hard time finding the chocolate I typically use here to make fudge with, so I got some at a different store and made fudge today. The chocolate melted suspiciously quickly, which I thought wasn’t an especially good sign, and when I mixed it in, the fudge did not reach anything like the right color. The fudge droppings confirm my fears. It’s got utterly lovely texture, and it’s a decent milk chocolate sort of fudge (though not as sweet as actual milk chocolate fudge). Its flavor, however,…
