Update: You might have noticed A few changes around here

There's a lot going on right now, but I'll try to keep it concise. I've decided to start using the pen name of Lulu James Spencer. I kind of tried it out on BlueSky at first, then in some other places, and really, I

Fountain Pen Thoughts - 1/3/25

This is a new @benupen called "Skull and Roses Crow." Very fitting for me as I love crows and even have a crow tattoo on my left shoulder. This pen is happy-making. I have a number of crows out in my backyard. Over New Year's, I

Autumn/Winter Update:

I know it’s been a while, but a lot of things have happened in the last few months that made it take a while before getting this update out. The biggest news is that I am currently in Northern Ireland for at least the next 6 months. Around the

June/July Update

I thought I was going to write a short and sweet newsletter for you all, but nope. Let's just get to it, shall we? Book Updates: First update is that Nemetona’s edits are pretty much done and the manuscript is with my Awesome Wife for a last

February/March Newsletter: Crossroads and Is It Getting Hot in Here?

It’s March in Florida, which means it’s starting to get in to the Yucky-Hots instead of the Merely-Warms. What that means for me is that I hide in the AC unless we are going out somewhere or going swimming. The editing work on the next 3 novels is

Something to think about around the #AI conversation...

November Updates: Hello there!

Yes, I know it’s been a while since I’ve done a monthly update/newsletter thing, but, well, life happened and lots of change came with it... The biggest change many of you already know: My Wife and I have left Switzerland and are in the process of moving

The Hermit: Spirits

“The center of our sphere is here, and I denote it with the coordinates zero, zero, zero. For this working, it is the center of all things. It has a radius, r, that is large enough to contain this Shrine and our working. I denote this sphere as the circle,

The Hermit: Dreams and Revelations

The tree towered above her. She looked up into the branches and could hear the Crows chattering among themselves. I always start here, she thought. “Of course you start here,” said a deep rumbling voice behind her. Liz turned around to see a large, red-headed, bearded man with a big

The Hermit: Preparations

I cut off the braid in Katy’s hair just above the hair tie then held out the braid for her, and Noise-Maker, to see. Katy burst into tears. “Why is there water on your face?” the alien asked, concerned. “It’s called tears.” Katy shook her head. “And I

The Hermit: Visitor

“You should go back inside, Liz,” I said out loud to myself after a while. I knew I should, but I also didn’t want to have to face Noise-Maker and explain to them why I got upset. You could always just say it’s about stuff in the past

The Hermit: Morning

Noise-Maker turned out to be a heavy sleeper. I woke up around dawn from a dream where I was searching for something, but I couldn’t figure out what I was searching for. I rolled over, moved my legs to the side of the bed, and sat up. I rubbed

Winter is Coming...and I don't mind!

Hello friends! It’s November, which means the fog and rain and cold has come down on Zurich. Not that I really mind, as I love Fall, Winter, and early Spring more than Summer. Me and hot weather don’t get along very well. The best part of Fall and

March comes in more like a cranky bear.

Welcome to March, friends. It’s been a year since my Wife and I started quarantining, and I’m kind of over it. Switzerland has been slow rolling out vaccines, and while I’m happy for everyone I know gettings vaccines in the States (especially my mom and dad!), I’

Yes, I know. It's been awhile.

To be honest, it's been a good, but hard (writing-wise) couple of months. August was hot, and I was trying to get some writing in, (I did manage some writing), but not the same momentum I had before my depression crash in May. I did get a lot
