There’s a Walker Papers group over on Goodreads (and has a spoiler-ok area for discussing NO DOMINION, if you want to). Someone over there just asked if I was going to write the Irish Mage books. The funny thing is that just a few weeks ago Ted and I figured out what that story would be. It would only be a trilogy, but I know how it would end and everything. The last book would be FATEFUL HOUR, and those of you who recognize the title source and have read…

Kickstarting

I tell you what, lads,the NO DOMINION response is really making me want to do something else to share with you guys. This has been wonderful. I mean, realistically, Not Right Now, because I’ve got the Dinocalypse book (you’ve bought in, right? 7 e-books for $10, how can you POSSIBLY go wrong with that?) coming up to write, and the Walker Papers to finish, and a bunch of other stuff, but still!

off to a start

Young Indiana woke up at 5 and required soothing. After a few minutes I put him back down and we all went back to bed (though I’m not sure Young Indiana ever went back to sleep). Eventually I woke up and said to Ted, “Did the alarm go off?” And Ted said, “I turned it off.” I said, “Are you taking a taxi to work?” Ted said, “It’s okay. I turned it off. It’s 5 after 6.” I said, “Are you going to work today?” Ted said, “It’s Saturday.” I…
