Clockwork Carabao

At some point in February (or was it March?), before the craziness began and I was thrown into a den of psychotic little Voldemorts, I had a story in mind that I wanted to send out. It had gone through several revisions, at least three of which changed the entire story itself. I had gone [...]

Robot Sister Number Phi

No Top Ten Tuesday this week because my brain is fried and I'd rather talk about things like robots and anthologies and diversity instead. Hot topics, those, yep. A robot! A robot! My sister for a robot! I wouldn't really trade my sister for a robot. (Or would I?) In any case, I've been pretty [...]
