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!

Three panels, one showing an unpainted player piece and two showing the painted front and back views. The mini is of a tree spirit with a miss cloak and deer skull head.

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. 🙂

A suite with a couch , table and TV in shades of grey.

I got some bookmarks and business cards printed and I'm so pleased with how they've come out!

A dark blue bookmark showing book covers and a QR code. A black business card with a book cover on one side and "E.E. Markham" with a QR code on the other.

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."

Aah proofreading, my old friend.

Good you caught it!

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! 😁

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)

Premee Mohamed @premeemohamed.com · May 15

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. 😁
