Rosemary Kirstein's Blog

I’ve just started up a Patreon account…  Let me tell you about it. Since you’re here reading this, you already know me as the author of the Steerswoman series  (four books so far: The Steerswoman, The Outskirter’s Secret, The Lost Steersman, and The Language of Power). And you probably already know that I’ve been stalled […]

It was the end of my working day on Friday (that would be ’round about 2AM Saturday morning), and I was just checking in on my various social media accounts before heading home… I like to check in every now and then, since I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ALLOW my accounts to send me beeps and […]

I’m hoping for 2024 to be an improvement on 2023… but it’s an election year, so the public sphere could get noisy and nasty and generally unpleasant! But in the private sphere, it’s possible for each of us to have a much better year, and I hope that we all do. My 2023 was filled […]

I’m currently in the process of redesigning the website… along with sundry other things that are preventing me from giving the redesign my fullest attention.   But I suspect that you’d rather have me do those things than this, right? Meanwhile, if you’re new: Hi!  I’ll be returning to regular posting (probably in January) but in […]

Just letting you know that I’m still here, but dealing with a plethora of events and responsibilities that each LOUDLY AND IMMEDIATELY require my attention. This is what having kids must be like… Anyway:  The blog will become more active presently.  Meanwhile, here’s someone who visited my office for a couple of days:  

Sort things out, clean things up, a possible redesign… More later.

I’ve been mostly incommunicado for a while (except for some easy-post social media), while trying to make progress on  Some Things. If you’ve sent me an email and I haven’t replied, that’s why… I’ll be using part of the long weekend to catch up on correspondence and other neglected items. Meanwhile, here’s my local place […]

Astonished to see that my last post was in January!  Well. I’ve been rather occupied with A Number of Things (nothing dire, I assure you), requiring my attention.  Including writing projects (but no particular completion date to report, as of yet). But what propelled me to emerge briefly was to report that Laurie J. Marks, […]

Every New Year’s Eve I post something here to the general effect of: Well, let’s hope next year’s going to be better, right?  Well, I want to be that hopeful this time, despite the fact that world events this year have been pretty craptacular, and show signs of continuing in a similar vein into 2023. […]

This little tree might look like it’s on its last legs, but actually has been with me for nearly twenty years!   I picked it up when it was a wee little sprout, just after I moved in with Sabine, and it’s been holding on and getting marginally larger ever since.   I had to change its […]
