Still working too much. Still stressed. Reduced to posting amusing quotes: "English is the result of Norman men-at-arms attempting to pick up Saxon barmaids and is no more legitimate than any of the other results." - H. Beam Piper The writing proceeds apace, for the...
Yes, I’ve been AWOL.
I work too much. I need to cut that out. Anyway, I'm back from Dragoncon and have a possible short story idea or two, which is good because I've sold almost all of my short stories and only have two in circulation! I also attended a steampunk panel, which was lots of...

According to the spreadsheet of doom, it's been nineteen days since I last wrote. I promptly threw out my last scene, too, so the word count is less. (61,687.) Did I mention that we were doing an email migration? I think I know what I'm going to do for the next scene,...

Immortal Gifts invites readers to re-evaluate the meanings of things such as life, death, freedom, hate and love from the first page. Katherine Villyard manages to capture some of the most poignant questions we ask ourselves as we go through our individual lives. Is it worth being able to live forever if, in the end, we’ll lose the ones we love to mortality? Is Death really the ultimate enemy to life, or is death just life’s misunderstood old friend? To stop hate, do we need to restrict our freedoms? This book makes readers ask and answer tough questions not only about the characters and plotline, but about their own beliefs, understandings, and dreams.
