I fell in with comic books through Marvel, and I'll never forget it. I was vaguely aware of comics growing up -- how could you not know about Superman, Batman, or Spider-Man -- but the first time I heard about a story that made me think "I have to read this" was the Age of … Continue reading A Black Geek’s Guide to All-New, All-Different Marvel

Notes From the Field: Sasquan 2015
The 73rd annual Worldcon was held this weekend in Spokane, WA at Sasquan 2015 and I showed up with a small posse of furry writers -- Kyell Gold and my husband Ryan. It was an intense weekend; I met so many great writers and community members out there, made a few new friends, bought over … Continue reading Notes From the Field: Sasquan 2015
What Are You Working On?
Well, thanks for asking, me! I thought you would never ask! Here are a few of the things I'm hoping to make progress on this week: A Stable Love. This is a story that was commissioned by a friend, way back last year when I was toying with the idea of maybe offering commission slots … Continue reading What Are You Working On?
Book Review: The End is Nigh
The End is Nigh (The Apocalypse Triptych, Book 1) Edited by John Joseph Adams and Hugh Howey Self-Published My love of all things apocalyptic doesn't know many bounds; chances are, if there's the whiff of the end of days surrounding a project, I'll at least have to give it a look. This has lead me … Continue reading Book Review: The End is Nigh
The Patreon Saint
I'm a grown-ass rabbit, and I love comics. They're a fantastic medium to tell a story with! The best of them marry arresting visuals with great dialogue in ways it's very difficult for anything else to do. You can travel thousands of miles or thousands of years in time from one panel to the next, … Continue reading The Patreon Saint
It’s the End of Summer, Start Falling
The summer of 2014 was a pretty crazy one for me! Most of it has been structured around Ryan's trip to Clarion, the associated Write-A-Thon and all of the lessons I've learned since then. It turns out I needed to take a bit of a break from writing after that, just to process what I … Continue reading It’s the End of Summer, Start Falling
What I Learned from the 2014 Clarion Write-A-Thon
What did I learn after writing 50,000 words in six weeks for charity? Well, I'll tell you...
The Light Shines in a Trenchcoat
I've recently come to appreciate the singular pleasure of a good detective story. I've been on a bit of a run with them of late, and I think it started with the broken-down post-millennial duo of True Detective's Hart and Cohle. It took Nic Pizzolatto's spitshine of the detective story to really get me to … Continue reading The Light Shines in a Trenchcoat
Personal Post: Blinders
One of the things that I've realized about myself is that I don't have a particularly vast reserve of willpower or stamina when it comes to projects. About half the time I feel comfortable in my abilities to get things done, and I'll develop a project plan with a schedule and milestones and everything. I … Continue reading Personal Post: Blinders
Hey Furries, Meet Sci-Fi/Fantasy!
Further Confusion 2014 is in the record books now, and I'm sure I don't need to tell you it was a hell of a convention. There were nearly 3,600 attendees this year, and it felt like there was an unending parade of things to do, people to see and places to be. I had a … Continue reading Hey Furries, Meet Sci-Fi/Fantasy!
