Lee Goldberg writes about Lewis Perdue‘s new book, The Perfect Killer, and the reader extras he includes–a page-specific online index. I don’t know about you, but I do stuff like this as I’m writing the book anyway. I know Holly Lisle makes a lot of extras available on her site. … Continue reading →
I have an 8 page synopsis of Threads & Ties. My next goal is to convert that to an outline of some sort to guide me through NaNo next month. I’ve wanted to use Inspiration more than I have been since I got it a couple years ago. This morning, … Continue reading →

I’ll be at the Coast all weekend helping my brother with his house. The plan is to rip out kitchen cabinets, replace sheetrock, clean kitchen cabinets (presuming they are salvageable), and replace same cabinets. He’s trying to decide what to put in for new countertops. He doesn’t think he can … Continue reading →
Something happened last night that made me wonder if there might be such a thing as theme spam. These themes were mostly produced for a design contest earlier this year.

Stucco is the final theme in the theme parade. Thank you for playing. You’ve all been terrific sports.
