Diving Helmets and Heart of Steel
I just sent my editor my 7-page cover notes for Heart of Steel — including this image: And so if we end up with a cover like this, I take full responsibility.
Dorkery
Guilty pleasures, and pure dorkery.
Free steampunk reads, two Q&As, and a little dance.
Yesterday in the comments, jmc reminded me of an upcoming m/m steampunk romance from Carina Press, Island of Icarus by Christine Danse. I’ve invited her to come over and tell us more about it closer to the release date, but until them, she also has released a few (FREE!) erotic steampunk short stories over at […]
For my sisters, who watched this off-the-TV copy of Superman II with me a zillion times
And because Zod and his cronies did kill that kid, and Superman did throw a cellophane ‘S’. No matter what the Donner cut says. Also: And E.T. shoes from Buster Brown. I couldn’t find the one about wearing rubber underwear (although the whole movie is on YouTube now, the trailer isn’t.)
Dear people in the Portland metro area
I’m sorry, but if I’m driving at night through your neighborhood, and you’ve got your lights on and your curtains open, I will look in. I kind of can’t help myself. But even if I could, I probably would look in, anyway, because I’m always fascinated by the inside of other people’s houses … even […]
Iron Duke Airship!
I’ve heard that an airship HAS been added to the Iron Duke cover. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ll probably have the new version sometime next week or so. So, on Twitter, Maili said: The crucial question is where about on the cover will the little airship be placed? I’m guessing it will be […]
I just decided not to use a “Bait Master” joke.
…and here is another post that could have probably just been on Twitter.

My leg is totally asleep.
I’m trying to decide between getting up — and risk falling flat on my face — and bearing the pain of walking around on a leg as it’s coming back to life, or just never moving again and having a numb leg forever, even if it means I have to pee on myself. …and to […]
Things you should not do while rewriting a book…
1) Forget that you were also lightening your hair. My crappy camera doesn’t capture how pale pale pale my roots are (when it was wet out of the shower, I looked bald) and how bright orange-sherbet the rest is. I think I will call this color: Flickering Candle on a Winter’s Day. (No, I didn’t […]
For the first time…
I have more Amazon reviews for a single title (Demon Angel) than on any of the anthologies. This may seem like a weird thing to blog about, but it sent me into a crazy happy dance. All of the anthologies I’ve been in easily, easily outsell my single-author, full-length titles. So seeing that one of […]
Winner! and Motivational Posters (and Demon Forged giveaway!)
First up: the winner of L.B. Gregg’s GOBSMACKED is… Steph! Congratulations, Steph! If you will contact me with the e-mail address that you want me to send the book to, I’ll send it over ASAP. Also! This time, I’m over LB’s blog, creating motivational posters out of Glamour Shots … and other shots. LB is […]
Getting it all out a week early again…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Sob sob sob sob sob Obsessive checking of Amazon #s hysterical laughter sob sob sob sob pulling hair and screaming Hahahahahahah! Hahahah! *sob* Throw up. Throw up. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! ….. …so, now I’m totally ready for Demon Forged‘s release next week.
Thanks to Twitter, it has come to my attention that…
there are people online who don’t know about Furniture Pr0n. I’m here to remedy that. So, click. Scroll down to the pink Go! buttons. Click again. Weirdly NSFW, not because the images are so bad, but because you’ll NEVER be able to convince your boss that you aren’t a perverted freak.
Storytime with Missy, Part 2
Note: This was originally published in 2005 on my old blog, but the fanfic from yesterday reminded me of it, and after some prompting from Maili (she didn’t have to prompt very hard) I decided to republish it, because you can never have too much action figure action. Part 1 is here. MELJEAN: So, here […]
