I’m having a terrible time deciding what to do with my hair. There’s no crisis for once, it’s just I keep dying it brown which is fine except it’s…well, brown. Not very interesting. I keep having this vague idea it’ll be a slightly more interesting brown if I dye it, but no. Anyway, so my mom helped me by picking out a…caramel, I think they call it, dye, which will perhaps introduce the slightest bit of interest without making it fire engine red, which is really not what I want.…

Kickstarter teaser: “Magic Hath an Element”
Okay, so the thing about the upcoming Kickstarter campaign (launching October 1!) is that I really *can’t* use a teaser from the actual story as part of the incentive text, because it starts with a scene from RAVEN CALLS and no way no how am I spoiling that scene. :) So I’ve written the first couple chapters of URBAN SHAMAN from Gary’s point of view for a bit of flavor text as to what kind of voice the novella will be in.

Morrison short story
In other news, the newsletter-only Morrison POV short story (titled “Petite”) about Morrison and Joanne meeting for the first time came together today just about effortlessly. It kinda broke my heart a little bit, but I like it. And now it’s sitting on my hard drive, waiting for me to decide if I should send it out immediately or wait til, like, Christmas. :) (Sign up for the newsletter to get it when I *do* send it out.) – a Gary short story (3-5K) – my bit on “Easy Pickings”…
