I'm sorry that you lost a friend like that. Photos of people in our lives can be so important for remembering them as years pass.
From grey plastic to fully painted! Ancient Leshan is a cool mini from one of the Witcher sets for Umatched. So much fun to paint!
After a year of no painting, I'm jumping back in! 😁
Last year I went to a gaming convention. This year I'm at a speculative fiction writer's convention.
This is the life! 😁
Have arrived in Canberra for Conflux! And I do love a suite. 🙂
I got some bookmarks and business cards printed and I'm so pleased with how they've come out!
That sounds like a wonderful system 🤦‍♀️
It's amazing how much news I don't see since the death of newspapers. I realised this the first time I had no idea who was playing - used to see so much on the front page displayed at the newsstand or someone reading on the train! 🤣
I'm excited to almost have another book out. 😁 Yes, proofing is almost done on my sci-fi noir novel!

Here's a taste:
"If the back of her hand hadn't worn the proud, fresh lines of a rival clan's tattoo, he might just have made her his enforcer. Instead, after a time, he'd made her a friend."
Totally agree. I never understood the hate the movie got!
Mine would be John Carter. One of the few sci fi movies to actually have other species and give them a culture of their own. 🙂
Sometimes I think the hardest thing about being a writer is watching "it was okay" movies and trying to love them for what they are instead of thinking up 5 far more interesting plots. And I'm totally not saying this after watching The Gorge 🤣
I'm so glad you've been enjoying it! 😁
Hello fellow human. I believe I am real 😉😂
Quick snap of a new shelf I'm doing for my boardgame pieces. Fairly sure I'm going to open a game box at some future point and wonder where the minis are! 🤣
Part of my brain yells "train!!" and demands a pen is provided instantly. 😁
4 characters I write:
- inventors (because who doesn't love a multi use tool?)
- good people who sometimes mess up
- talented people who don't realise how talented they are
- zealots who do bad things because of their zealotry
4 characters I write:
- OK, I screwed up, but I can fix it! (by making it worse)
- older woman behaving badly (usually while smoking a pipe)
- why am I the only sensible person in this whole goddamn plot? (then fucks up the most)
- bitches get shit done (sometimes these last two overlap)
4 characters I write:
1) I can't tell the difference between proximity/familiarity and love so maybe I love you???
2. I am an ultracompetent a-hole! Please like me!
3. I am so tired (I am in the plot so I can go back to bed)
4. Not only am I not a hero, I believe NOBODY is a hero (ever)
Because no one knew what you were doing locked away in that room... 😉
You know, the biggest compliment I've gotten on Burning the Bones so far has been the sleep deprivation of readers who accidentally stayed up 'til the early hours reading it. 😁
