Series Note: I let the authors choose their own books for a StoryBundle. That way I don’t have to keep track of what’s been in previous bundles. I read a lot of Brigid Collins’ writing and love it all, but I missed this series somehow. As I was putting together the StoryBundle, this paragraph caught […]
Series Note: USA Today bestseller Ann Gimpel gives us much needed dragons. Lots of dragons! You’ll probably devour these fast-moving novels quickly, but never fear. Ann has published more than 100 books, so I suspect you’ll find even more to read. – Kristine Kathryn Rusch Series Description: The fate of the world lies in the
Series Note: DeAnna Knippling has a wonderfully skewed way of looking at the world. So when she decided to take on Alice in Wonderland, I saw a match made in heaven. These books are dark but they’re also intriguing and beautifully written. Escape down the rabbit hole…and then find that the rabbit hole isn’t the
Series Note: For years, I have written stories about the magical in World War II. If faeries existed (and I believe they do), I needed to figure out why they weren’t using their magic to stop that particular conflagration. Five short stories and three novellas later, I still don’t have an answer, but I know
So I’m participating in a bundle promotion at Storybundle for the Fantasy Bundle of Bundles (Storybundle was bound to go a little meta on bundles at some point!) with my different Alice in Wonderland books as an “Alternate Alices” collection. I wrote an exclusive for the collection–I’d started a zombified short story based on Lewis

I was sick yesterday and crashed, spending my time sleeping and reading web comics (manga/manwa/manhua) in the villainess niche. My daughter Ray is getting me to read them, and…I kinda like them, and I’m thinking of writing a serial (not a manga) later, after I get my current serial work-in-progress Blind Date with Death up

I talked to a best-beloved friend about celebrity versus authenticity, how it’s impossible to expect people to be “authentic” in front of a camera, and yet it’s still possible to find moments of connection. We were contrasting Neil Gaiman and Anthony Bourdain. And yeah, I don’t wanna drag Nail Gaiman shit out more than I

Ray and I had a lot of leftover homemade yakitori after New Year’s Day, and I’d been wanting to try making okonomiyaki, so we went for it. Unfortunately most of the recipes I found wanted some sort of special grated yam that I didn’t have and was too lazy to track down. Fortunately I found

I’ve decided to bring my mystery stories back under my own name (DeAnna Knippling) instead of a pen name. Crime du Jour is a collection of very short (500 words – 1500 words) short stories, each one about a different crime. Generally from the criminal’s point of view. I figured out a long time ago that

I’m setting up materials for a mixed media journaling project/practice. (Or, rather, to resume a journaling practice.*) I did some journaling October/November for a project – which will come out eventually but I’m not ready to talk about – and really enjoyed it. The one I did was a mix of daily entries and short
