Grimaulkin Redeemed is at 39K words, and I just started what I believe is the beginning of the  ending of the main plot. I have to throw in a few side plots for filler. I’m especially concerned why a certain … Continue reading →

I decided this weekend to tackle Earth, to try and get it finished. As I talked with my publisher, he said, “How about you work on War Mage?” Okay, for a different way of looking at things, sure. It’s been … Continue reading →

Behind the eight ball

Posted on February 4, 2018 by L. Jacob

I’m getting a banner made (but I think it’s going to be too big) for my table/canopy tent. It’ll be ready for my appearance in Cumberland on February 17. I just finished the speech I’m giving to the Mt. Pleasant … Continue reading →

Earthy writing

Posted on January 28, 2018 by L. Jacob

Full Crone

Posted on December 17, 2017 by L. Jacob
