and I are too often on the same wavelength, which I guess is what happens when you bounce ideas off each other all the time. She’s thinking about doing something draconic and the draconic idea is coming thru in the high-fantasy novel idea I’m tinkering with for NaNo, but I’ll try to downplay it. […]

“Bookmarked” accepted by Reflection’s Edge, which published my “Defender of the Faith” last August. “Bookmarked” is a fluffy contemporary fantasy. Don’t know its ETA yet.

I just sent in my revision of “Divided Loyalties,” the Manzanar camp story. The editor of Hardboiled Horror asked for more setup for the end; I hope I gave him what he wanted. I think it’d be a great anthology to get into.
