  • New Blog Today, and a New Job!

    LGBT Fantasy Fans and Writers has launched.  From the \”About Us\” page: \”Welcome to our little corner of the ‘net. This is going to be a blog that appreciates LGBT fantasy in all its forms and incarnations- books, movies, games, art, whatever! Dark, light, urban, epic, romantic, sword and sorcery, classic… We love it all.\”

    Together with Alex Beecroft, Jennifer Thorne, Kay Barisford, Melanie Tushmore, and Violetta Vane, I\’ll be talking about one of my favorite subjects – the fantasy genre in all its wonderful variety, and specifically looking at the GLBT subset within it. We will offer flash fiction, essays, and excerpts from our own works. I hope you enjoy!

    My first entry is up today, \”Worldbuilding – M/M Style.\” I talk about some of the unique challenges presented to authors of M/M romance as they venture into creating worlds of their own.  Stop on by!

    Today is also my day at the Writer\’s Retreat Blog, where I talk about new beginnings.

    In addition, I start a new job today.  I\’m very excited.  Wish me luck!

  • Hair Tea – Emerald Fire and Herbs

    In writing, we get to use what we know.  This used to intimidate me (what if I don\’t know anything??) until I realized that\’s my inner critic talking.  I do too know stuff.

    So.  What do I know?

    The airspeed veloc…  Nevermind.  Hair tea!  I know how to make hair tea.  Not tea you drink, though I do know how to make that too, but tea you put on the hair to make it healthy and shiny – and augment the color.  In writing Emerald Fire, Rachel and I got to put that knowledge to use and give it to the Keepers.

    I figured I\’d share some of the secrets today at Torquere Press:

    \”Research and World Building – Teeka’s Special Hair Tea Blend\”

    I hope you have a moment to stop on by!
