Have been out of town, busy, life eating my blogging time, distractions to life eating that, whatnot.

To sum up the past few months, my dog, Sprite, who was ill, got very sick due to the botched blood transfusion, lost her leg, and then died of complications. To be bluntly honest, we euthanized her when there was no hope left, and the doctors said she would die in agony within the next day from bloodclots if we didn't do it then. So we did, and I didn't have any interest in going back to this blog until now.

Just got back from the World Horror Convention, where I had great fun, and some good business contacts, and have been checking out the comments on my novel Penny Dreadful currently being serialized at www.white-wolf.com

Reading comments like that...this is why I'm a writer. Or at least it's a hell of a great perk.

Oh, and the word for the day is "bricolage." A fan of the Penny stories described her magic as a bricolage, which means a random assortment of found things, using what comes to hand. Which is how I wrote it up, but I'd never read that incredibly cool word before.

Will add more to my blog, as the thoughts strike me.
