Fanfiction website Archive of our Own went down last week for maintenance and will be staying down for up to a month, reportedly due to a “security incident.” I’m hoping that’s not their way of saying “we waited too long to patch PHP, the site is now incredibly compromised (as… (keep reading)

Insanely busy this week — two day job gigs, one of which is a night shift. To facilitate me not having to do this again, please check out the following: Not June, Still Gay! Pride Market I’ve got a table at Safe Haven‘s November market next month! I’ll be there… (keep reading)

Went to buy tickets for my local theatre’s semiannual showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show only to find they’d sold out even earlier than usual. I assume the run on tickets was a response to Tim Curry’s death this past summer. Which is sweet, I guess, but very annoying… (keep reading)

Her reason for doing this boils down to, in her own words, the “vibes being off”; she cites a particular incident in a bookstore where she felt alienated… (keep reading)

Not dead yet. Current focus is on final edits and typesetting for The Exploits of Jay Moriarty; there’s another Casefile installment in the can, but that probably won’t be coming out until after Exploits is released. Having watched the first season of Young Sherlock, I remain unmoved from my opinion… (keep reading)

For those of you who haven’t heard about this: last week, small press publisher Bona Books announced that their upcoming anthology, Wrath Month, would be delayed because they were pulling three stories from the collection. They had reason to believe those three stories were machine-generated and not written by a… (keep reading)

The story I’m working on right now explores law enforcement in Britain, so I picked up Iain Donnelly’s book Tango Juliet Foxtrot.
