I babble

my-desk-may2017-400.jpgHaving blithered and burbled, I now babble in a new interview that you can read on either Vicki Reese’s blog or Vicky Burkholder’s blog.

Here’s an excerpt from the interview (my answer to a most pressing fill-in-the-blank):

“Now for the S.A.T. portion of the interview.  Fill in the blank.  If I were a villain, I would have ______ for minions to deliver my wrath because _____.

If I were a villain, I would have nail salon workers for minions to deliver my wrath because I am jealous of people who don’t bite their fingernails like I do. Those salon workers could use their painful grinding machines to mess up everyone else’s nails. Bwaa ha haha ha!”

 

I yammer about space opera

Jana Denardo is hosting me on her blog this week. I say stuff about space opera, as well as promote Beneath the Skin.  http://jana-denardo.dreamwidth.org/249133.html

(I apologize if my posts seem spammy of late.  I’m on a blog tour.  At least the posts on each blog are different, even if they all have the same image of my book cover.)

I burble

My guest blog post for Antonia Aquilante is live!  In it, I burble joyfully about space opera and Beneath the Skin.

Firefly Talk

A found poem from snippets of Joss Whedon dialogue

 

the raggedy edge
all orderly like
I do not hold to that

we aim to misbehave

caught a wave;
gonna bounce it down to you
it don’t mean nuthin’
out here in the black

 

I Blither Happily

Rounding

The tree grew round.

Felled

Cut by straight-edged tools

Shaped by soft hands

Becomes the wooden plate.

The tree grows round again.

 

For the Moment

Falling, the die turns

Landing, tumbles

Rolling, stops.
Numbered.

Lifted, the die rises

Tossed, soars
Unburdened

Love in a Mist.  So … why is love blue?
