Just been thinking about of symbols and the power they hold over people lately. Decided to do what I do best, and write it all out. So this a short that would be taking place during Uncommon Animals, right before Hunter’s Moon. And it’s from Sonja’s point of view, because I didn’t do enough of […]
Today, we’re releasing some images for the webcomic! The actual comic starts on July 7th, but starting today you can get a sneak peak of what we’ve been up to!
Trying to find a summer schedule. When do I write between chores and entertaining my kids? When do we eat breakfast now that they stagger out of bed whenever they feel like it? And why, oh why, did my oldest have to break my coffee pot Saturday morning? But our scheduling issues aside, it was so […]

Spent a good few hours working on the comic’s website. Yeah, that’s right, that’s still on. I’m sure Ashley will make everything prettier when she has the time. Right now, I’m far more concerned with content. Do we have it? What do we need? What I can do right now, so that come July 7th, […]
Did the final proofread for Hedge Doctor: Finals this morning. I’m still in love with these stories. They were part of what got me back into writing my novels.
