      Greetings from the edge, Since I keep referring to my office as “The Broom Cupboard,” I thought I should finally show you the tiny creative engine room itself. This is where Rambles & Whimsy happens: books, screens, dice, plants, dragons, more tea than is reasonable, and a chair that has… seen things. It is not…

      Greetings from the edge, I have been keeping busy in flesh space.  Various bits and pieces have conspired to keep me away from my keyboard; however, I’m back now, and I have a plan. The fact that the entire plan is just ‘do more work’ is neither here nor there. As well as various broken…

    • Maps, Names, and Mild Panic: My Weekly DM Tools

      Greetings from the edge, Overworked and undercaffeinated, a DM’s lot is mostly spent trying to stop a group of their friends from spectacularly destroying themselves by proxy on a weekly basis. Despite what our players might think, we don’t spend our spare time lurking in deserted castles, cackling maniacally and waxing our goatees while plotting…

      I would like to say that I have been ever-so-busy writing; that I have a good 2,000 words of The Echo Man under my belt and a few articles ready to post. I could say that, but it would make me a big, fat, lying liar. Instead, I have spent a good chunk of the…

      Greetings from the edge, A day late..? Yes, a dollar short..? Also yes. However; The weather persists, very hot. You know it’s hot when you go to pee and pass steam. I have been plugging away at my first novella, The Echo Man, chiselling away a word at a time. I remember reading that Michelangelo…

    • Step 12: Appeal directly to machine spirits.

      ,

      Greetings from the edge, One of the peculiar side effects of working from the broom cupboard is that during winter, between my body heat and the NASA-like array of monitors and assorted electronic nonsense around me, it becomes wonderfully warm and cosy. In a heat wave, however, those exact same factors transform it into something…

      Greetings from the edge, Quick update from here in the broom cupboard. I got an email the other day asking me to apply for a job opening at a local-ish library. It’s only part-time, so I’ll still have time to write, and with the commute I’ll probably even get more audiobook time out of it.…

    • Ink, Pixels & Narrators

      Greetings from the edge, I’m a bibliophile. A die-hard, hardback, leatherbound devotee of the written word. I like books of all shapes and sizes and read across a wide range of genres, although I am yet to venture into family sagas. One day perhaps. When the Kindle first appeared, I carried that sleek little slab…
