Week 32 of 2025
Greetings all!
I’m writing this from booth at Pennsic! As usual, my days here are spent from about 10-6 writing and selling and my evenings from about 8 onward are out at bardic circles.

Pennsic 2025
Last night, I told a new story about a friend who had recently passed. She was one of the best storytellers I’ve ever seen and a great mentor to me. I’ll miss her. I think she would have disapproved of my story because it made her into the hero, yet that’s exactly what she was.

Pennsic 2025
One of these days I’ll collect my various SCA stories and poetry and publish it, but it is not this year. Nor next year, I think, as I’ve got another project I’ll publish at Pennsic next year. Two years, though? Maybe.

Pennsic 2025
This week I’ve been editing some old stuff for republishing and nibbling away at some other projects, plus of course talking up my books.
Since I’ve got customers coming in and out, I’ll cut this short, but I’ll see you all soon!
What I’m Listening To
The noise of a vibrant merchant area. Quite fun, actually.
Quote of the WeekHappy birthday to David Baldacci!
“But if I worried too much about publishers’ expectations, I’d probably paralyze myself and not be able to write anything.”
– David Baldacci
