So I’ve had to adjust my work habits slightly now that the Infanta has arrived on her bed of linens and sequins and silk, but never fear, I am still working, albeit more slowly and sleepily.
Officially, I am taking a month off from writing while we care for the little bundle of joy. I am [...]
Still Working
Made From Love
Cassandra Hope Gero Brett, born 4:35pm, July 23, 2008, 8lbs 6oz, 21.5 inches, with auburn hair and gray eyes.
Vagabond
I’ve been trying to catch up on my comics reading lately, and while I haven’t really put too much of a dent in the huge stack of trade paperbacks on my dresser, I’ve made some progress. The stack is good anyway, as it keeps the cats from jumping atop my new dresser and scratching the [...]
The Hardest Chapter
Yesterday I finished the Chapter From Hell.

I wasn’t entirely sure how to take that. Surely she would know the answer better than I.
I wrote back asking for clarification, and she said, “It’s just that dad [...]
Self-Stalking, Part 3
Okay, this time I wasn’t really stalking myself. Some other people sent me this stuff, but it’s every bit as good as whatever nonsense I could find about myself on google at 3am.
Chuck McKenzie, who wrote that stellar review on Horrorscope, e-mailed me today to let me know that Dymocks, one of the biggest book [...]
Czech it Out
Big news from Prague, the geographical heart of Europe, capital of the Czech Republic, and a city my friend Neil tells me is filled with beauty. (He says the buildings are nice, too.)
Triton publishing has beaten the competition with their offer to purchase translation and distribution rights of the Painted Man and two sequels. This [...]
