Spampocalypse
Just a quick note - I don't use this journal much anymore, but due to a recent spamalanche, I've changed comment settings to friends only. If you can't comment and you want to contact me via this journal, you can go over to the DW side, which is not similarly restricted. -
Year-end roundup: 2016 edition (and probably the last, for now)
I started doing these in 2006, and I think this is going to be my last one … at least the last one I do here, in the format I've used for a decade. I started doing these for writing accountability, but my needs have changed. It's really the best of all possible reasons: I don't need to do these anymore because I succeeded. I'm writing for a living ( Read more... ) -

This week’s creative updates
I have a new book out as Lauren Esker, Handcuffed to the Bear. It’s been added to my books page. (Hopefully Amazon will have the “Look Inside!” working soon. At least it’s not just me; it looks like things are laggier than usual right now.) It’s tropey F/M romance, this time on the general theme of “handcuffed together and hunted in the wilderness ( Read more... )
