This book's been simmering on the back burner for quite a while, but I'm moving it to the front of the stove and turning up the heat.
The Brassbright Chronicle
Winter has arrived in New Babbage. Time to curl up in front of a roaring fire with a good book and a comforting cup of hot cocoa or coffee (spiked with Baileys, of course). Maybe nibble on a caramel apple. Perhaps play with a cat. (More...)
For many years, I've used Goodreads to keep track of the books I read. I admit it, I'm a junkie for the Reading Challenge. But over the past couple of years, I've found myself growing cynical about their support of authors. It tends to be... non-existent.
I address the cat/buttered toast paradox in "A Life Invented".
On Wednesday, Draxtor Despres brought his weekly show, the Second Life Book Club, to The Inkwell in New Babbage.
For my second visit with Drax, we will talk about my new cookbook, Shredding It: A Cabbage Cookbook and whatever else comes to mind!
I’m starting to see sightings of Shredding It here and there! Gingo, an avid foodie, was spotted browsing his copy during dinner.
What a fun contest that was! I know August Niehaus had as much fun as I did reading the entries.

There’s no denying that AI is here, probably to stay. How can a writer ethically make use of this technology to get tasks done, and still sleep well at night? My co-host for this workshop will be ChatGPT itself!

What follows is the transcript of a workshop held in the virtual world of Second Life. About 30 avatars attended. There’s lots of chatter and brainstorming going on (as often happens in SL) as I presented my workshop. Enjoy!
