PLAYDAY 1: AUGUST 19TH, 2022 In person, a whole game of Negocios Infernales can usually be played within 4-5 hours–sometimes fewer!–depending on how many people are playing and if they’ve played before. Online, it’s a bit different. Role20 slows everything down (though we’re very grateful to have it), so it usually takes two sessions of about 4 hours… Continue reading Negocios Infernales for Kaleidocast

My friend Becca is visiting us here at Casa Hernandooney. As Carlos and I were putting the final touches on our savory apple pie (bacon, onion, thyme, smoked cheddar), she was wandering our apartment, surveying it as a patroness of a very goofy museum. Hearing her laugh out loud, I trotted out of the kitchen to see what’d she gotten into. She’d found my Gene … Continue reading Wolfe’s Arcana. Or: Midjourney, Meet Gene Wolfe

Of COURSE I wanted to play Lucy. And OF… Continue reading Progress Report: The Devil and Lady Midnight

I asked Carlos if he wanted to go the Electric Circus with me and a friend of ours: actor, audiobook narrator, and all-around goddess Carla Kissane. (She of “Shakespeare Cabaret” fame.) Before uttering an ENTHUSIASTIC YES, he asked, very naturally, what was an Electric Circus? So I went to the Arts on Site webpage and I read him… Continue reading A Day in the City, Ending in an Electric Circus

Writer, artist, and game-designer Cassandra Khaw has been engaging with an AI in generating art for some things they love. Some of the things they love are MY things. Cass has taken some of my text from The Twice-Drowned Saint, Dark Breakers and Desdemona and the Deep, and Saint Death’s Daughter, as well as key words of their own choice, tweaked and re-tweaked to feed … Continue reading Beautiful Book Art by Cassandra Khaw

Two things that the wonderful people at Rebellion Publishing (Solaris) offered for me to try for my book-launch week was: a listicle for SciFi Now on any topic of my choosing, and a short piece of Gizmoda’s i09. Other than blogs–and that one article I wrote for Apex a few months ago–I rarely write non-fiction. It’s this whole… Continue reading A Map of Ladies Death & Death Magics I Have Loved & Black Gate Reading!
