Lance & Elaine 



In New Britain, where the different are persecuted, the curvier-than-regulation Elaine is a medical student who has learned the truth of the new draconian “health measures” and is trying to help the swelling underground resistance.But the underground isn’t the only organization to take notice of Britain’s plight, and Camelot sends

(This has nothing to do with our books.)

We've broken into the Top10 on the all-time traders list on PucaTrade, so to celebrate, we're doing a giveaway! Make sure you're following us on Twitter. Okay? Now, tweet what your favorite Magic card is and why. (It doesn't have to be one of the ones below.) If you do those two things, you'll be entered into the drawing, which will be held on September

I have not yet met any woman who objects to this “holiday”, but I certainly do. Holidays were originally “holy days”, celebrating days important to the religion of the area. They took on political significance over time, celebrating days important to the state. In both cases, the event or person celebrated was of some great social significance. This is why holidays such as Christmas or

We had a full lunar eclipse in Tokyo, and the sky stayed clear long enough for me to photograph it. I took over one hundred photos, but I thought I'd share just five highlights.

I'm still working on learning how to photograph the moon, so don't flame me. :)

This was the exact minute of the full eclipse. 

We like our house, but the walls have gotten rather dirty right around little kid height, if you know what I mean. I'm kind of a clean freak, but I've learned to live with a certain level of mess, because there's just no way to have a perfectly tidy house with six kids (half of them being teenagers, half being little).

People are more important than stuff.

So my wife and I thought we'd just

Something happened to our blog and all the images got deleted or something. I think it was when I got my new phone, which was, because it's an Android, automatically linked to my Google account. Somehow I messed things up here, so I've decided to stick to a simpler design. This'll do.





Why are you taking over my life?!

We've had an amazing summer here! Sure, we had our hot days, but overall,

Whatever happened to those kidnapped Nigerian schoolgirls? The last thing I saw about them was June 11, 2014. I guess when your stupid twitter hashtag campaign fails, you just throw up your hands and say, "Oh, well! We tried!"




Good job, world. This is small comfort to pre-pubescent sex slaves.



The way the media just kinda dropped this story, and the "free world" (I use that phrase with

EDIT: Sorry so many of the photos got deleted.

The other day, because the weather was so fine and we wanted to spend the day together out and about, my darling wife and I took a walk through Tokyo, starting in the bay and working our way up one of the cities major rivers into the heart of what was once the old fishing villages of Edo. On the advice of my photographer friend, I recently got a

Domination. It is a word that I see more and more often in the romance genre, but rarely do I see it actually illustrated or taken to its logical end. Do not mistake me. I am not objecting to the concept. I fully understand the appeal. The ultra-masculine “alpha” qualities possessed by “Dom” heroes are attractive ones, from the supreme confidence to the protectiveness to the possessiveness, and

I am a woman. I do not usually like to draw attention to this fact on my blog, as it rarely seems pertinent to what I am discussing. This time, however, though it oughtn't to make a difference, it does.I am beginning to wonder if many women now are … stupid. Why would I write something like this? And why would my own sex matter?To answer the second question first, my sex matters because if I were
