Thanátou and Mörderin (The Blood Witch Saga) out now!
A week ago, several days after returning from Star Wars Celebration, I tested positive for Covid. I’m still not fully well. I was sick for days before testing positive. There were four negative tests before the positive one. The first few days I felt like I was coming down with a cold. My temperature never
I seldom sleep much past 5am these days. Not that I don’t want to. I’d love to be able to sleep in the way I used to…but at the same time, getting up so early means I have time to write that I wouldn’t have if I slept in. Always the trade off. I’ve seen
By and large, left to my own devices, I am a night person. I’ve adapted to getting up early, so that I can get on less crowded trains to get into the city to go to work. Getting up super early requires going to bed super early. It took me a long time to get

On September 13, 1968, in a Florida navy hospital I found my way into the world. Fifty years, which seems hard to believe, but here we are. I’ve lived an amazing life, or at least that’s the way I see it, and hopefully, I’ve learned a few things along the way. On my approach to
The last three or four nights, I’ve had really segmented sleep that totals to less than five hours per night, most of it in one to one and a half hour increments. I’ve also needed to be in the office and at all day meetings this week, plus had social engagements with coworkers from out
This is my busy time of year. I have a full time job, of course. I am working on writing one book, editing another and have several editing jobs on the horizon. And, I work as the Community Partners Donations Team Manager for the San Francisco Pride festival. Pride is just about two months away,
Ever have a cold hit you so hard, so fast that you went from “everything’s fine” to “somebody shoot me” in a single afternoon? That’s what happened to me last week. I went to work on Wednesday feeling pretty okay, if a little tired (but tired is a part of the wicked insomnia I’ve been
