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

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

April/May News: Short and Sweet

Florida has turned up the heat, which means that I’m hiding in the house most of the time and drinking lots of lemonade. (Hydration is important, yo!) It’s a bit funny that a lot of folks are telling me that it’s so cold in Ireland and that

Merging Discords

Just and FYI, I'll be merging my Survey Discord server into my Publishing Heretics Discord server. I'm primarily doing this for my own ease-of-use reasons. I mean, I am active in a number of Discords, several of which I actually run, so, yeah. It's

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

December Updates: Happy Holidays!

Hello from sunny Florida. Or, well, sorta sunny, anyway. It’s been cloudy most of this week, and we’re getting a lot of rain this weekend. The cooler weather here has been a good time to finally catch up with my podcast (aka abridged audiobooks): Tales from Flat Space.

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

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

The Hermit

The Hermit: First Aid

I brought the alien into the sitting area of the cottage, moving the coffee table out of the way so that they had a clear place to sit. “Give me a minute to get my first aid kit,” I told them as they settled on the floor. I went to

The Hermit: The Noise in the Woods

Author's note: This is the first post of a serialized story called "The Hermit." It's primarily an experiment in writing about my own theology. This came about by request from several people in my Discords who wanted more information about my particular brand of

Confronting Transgender Genocide: A Priest's Struggle to Advocate for Justice

I could tell you the story about me, a cisgender woman, and my transgender wife. I could tell you that we both feel that we’ve lost our home countries because transgender people are no longer welcome there. I could tell you our story, and you’d sympathize, maybe comment

Where your author has a month and learns other ways to make coffee...
