Dammit, I knew I was going to be bad at this, which was why my basic intention was to read the books all at once and set up posts ahead of time with my commentary to autopost on the appropriate days. Life, however, hasn’t been enormously accommodating in that regard (February will, I swear, be better), and obviously I haven’t been very good at getting things posted. I did finish *reading* SUMMER TREE, but oi, We’ll be starting THE WANDERING FIRE this week, with chapters 1-4 up on Tuesday. Or…
In celebration of the 201st anniversary of PRIDE & PREJUDICE’s publication, I humbly submit for your reading pleasure the fourth chapter of MAGIC & MANNERS. Yeah, okay, so I was going to do this as a crowdfund, and I got the project page all ready, and I was going to launch it last night and I had a terrible spasm of “maybe this isn’t a good idea.” So I delayed the launch, and this morning I’m more able to interpret the spasm as “push that button and this becomes work,”…

The campaign page is here! Ah, but what’s it about? Let me quote the page: Anti-Captialism: The Musical! is large scale theatrical narrative using circus and music. It a fairytale, set in a near future political reality similar to our own. It uses aerial acrobatics, plot twists, assassinations, and intrigue to tell…
I don’t want to get anybody’s hopes up or anything, but I have finished writing the 4th chapter of MAGIC & MANNERS. I’m just sayin’. Let’s see, what else do I know. Oh! The upcoming Indiegogo campaign for my sister’s musical (her Facebook page for it is here, you should keep an eye on it!) is well underway for preparations, and it looks like we’ll be putting up “CE Murphy Will Write You A Story” at 300 euro, which comes out around $400USD (gawd, the exchange rate!), but even with…
