Master and Hound [art post]
Hunter and Hound 2016 by Goldeen Ogawa, watercolor on paper This is a somewhat cheeky piece of work. You see, it could be a depiction of Arawn, King of Annwm, (or possibly Gwyn; the distinction between them being so fuzzy), with one of his red-eared Yeth Hounds… …or it could be Sirius, the Dogstar, incarnate in a …
2016 Hugo-Eligible works
Belated, I know, but if there is any overlap in between my readership and members of WorldCons 2015 (Sasquan), 2016 (MidAmeriCon II), and/or 2017 (WorldCon 75), and you’re having trouble filling out your Hugo Nomination ballots, here are my Hugo-eligible works, and their respective categories: Best Novella (A science fiction or fantasy story between 17,500 …
DWJ March Read-aloud: Dogsbody (+ bonus)
On this final Sunday in March, in honor of #DWJMarch and all fans of Diana Wynne Jones, I present a very tired author reading from Dogsbody, as suggested by Dragonrose, plus a bonus of my own choosing. It also features accompaniment from the iPad-Who-Would-Not-Be-Silenced, and my own dog, Frieda, on Squeaker (fairly certain not a Zoi) …
DWJ March Read-aloud: The Spellcoats
This week’s DWJMarch read-aloud was requested by my Wonderful Mother, who asked for something from The Spellcoats! * The Spellcoats is the third book in the Dalemark Quartet, though it takes place prior to all the others. However, like the Chronicles of Narnia, these books are best read in the order in which they were written: Cart and Cwidder, …
DWJ March Read-aloud: Hexwood
This week I’m blogging from the road, but I’ve still got a snippet of Diana Wynne Jones for you! This time it’s my own selection, from my personal favorite: Hexwood. * Hexwood is a standalone novel—sadly. But what a novel! Robots! Dragons! And a definite treat for anyone interested in a new take on European …

Enjoy! * *The Magicians of Caprona © 1980 Diana Wynne Jones is the second novel she wrote which takes place in the related …
March Magics Read-aloud – call for suggestions!
As I mentioned on Twitter last week, I’m going to be doing something a little special this year for #MarchMagics/#DWJMarch. In an effort not only to celebrate the work of Diana Wynne Jones but to perhaps introduce her to people who might not have had the joy of reading her—yet—for every Sunday in March I’ll …

This was done largely over the course of January/February 2015, all in colored pencils, as I do with …
Autumn books and bloggage
It’s been a very busy summer and autumn. How busy? Well, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t had time to blog here at all! But this is okay; I’ve been doing lots of writing instead—and I have the books to show for it! First, there’s the second installment of Driving Arcana stories, Rotation Two, which …
