November Wrap-Up & December Goals
The holiday season is in full swing here at Casa Siamese, after a successful Thanksgiving (complete with fried turkey!) and my outside Christmas decorations newly put up. (The artificial tree will have to wait until my husband's muscles can help.) I didn't accomplish 100 percent of my November goals, but I'm in too good a … Continue reading November Wrap-Up & December Goals

Where … Continue reading ChessieCon 2017 Schedule
September Wrap-Up & October Goals
Alas, the streak has been broken and I did not quite meet all my goals this month. I blame the con crud I picked up at Salt Lake Comic Con.

Con Report: Salt Lake Comic Con 2017
Getting to Salt Lake Comic Con was a hell of a ride. Some back story: A year ago, you may remember that my husband headed to the wilds of Mississippi for 6 months for work.

LEGO Build: NASA Apollo Saturn V
I'm pretty sure I've said this here multiple times (and at some point I should post the blog I wrote about it), but once upon a time I was totally going to be an astronaut.

Special Mid-Month Update!
I come bearing excellent news! But first, a little bit of background. After Steel Victory was accepted for publication and I received my publisher's blessing to create a series with that world, I gave myself a goal. The next book in the series would be delivered to my editor by the time the previous novel was published. … Continue reading Special Mid-Month Update!
