Happy New Year!
Jan. 2nd, 2016 11:14 amGood morning, LiveJournal! Happy 2016!
My website has been languishing with server woes for some time now, so my scant updates will be split between here and Patreon for a while.
2015 was a good year. At the end of 2014 I moved in with my partner and his roommates; this spring we moved out of a cramped apartment on the 3rd floor into a very lovely house in Austin. This summer I got my ass in gear on The Poison Court--and, with the help of Patreon, was able to scale my hours back at the used book mines. I didn't type The End in 2015, but I can see it from my couch now.
We spent Christmas in New Orleans, which was delightful. Eventually I'll finish sorting through our pictures.
And of course, Dreams of Shreds & Tatters was released this year, and the Necromancer Chronicles finally earned out.
