I'm mostly posting to Instagram these days at rjandersonwriter, with occasional crossposts to my Facebook author page when relevant. Barely active on Tumblr anymore, but slightly more so on Twitter.

Never really took to Dreamwidth after all, so that's defunct. I miss LJ.

Well, looks like most of my f-list over here are turning out the lights and locking up, so I guess I'll do likewise. Feel free to follow me over on Dreamwidth if that suits you, or if you're not a DW user and don't plan to be, leave a comment here to tell me where else I can find you from now on ( Read more... )

And the twain shall meet in my kitchen, apparently. Or at least they have been since last fall, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I am making another wholegrain loaf from the recipe in James Morton's Brilliant Bread, since my first one turned out so splendidly. For those of you who aren't already weary of hearing me (t)witter on about this book, ( Read more... )

 As you may or may not know, I'm a big fan of singer/songwriter/producer Matt Hales, otherwise known as Aqualung. renisanz introduced me to him some years ago, and I've been eagerly buying up his albums ever since. His most recent (and maddeningly hard to find) album 10 Futures features a single called "Be Beautiful", and when I first listened to it just ( Read more... )

At this time last year, I was worn out. I'd just finished substantive edits on my latest book and was cautiously pleased with how it had come together, but creatively I was exhausted. I’d written nine novels in eight years, and by the fall of 2015 I felt like all my mental energy and every scrap of pleasure I’d ever taken in the writing process had ( Read more... )

First, thanks to all who weighed in on my earlier post about my cat possibly having arthritis. I did call the vet to make an appointment, but the receptionist recommended that I buy a package of TheraBites (a once-a-day cat treat which contains supplements for hips and joints) and try her out on those for a while to see if there was any improvement ( Read more... )

... I don't have a cat icon*. In fact, I now realize, I have NEVER had a cat icon. This seems like a totally bizarre oversight given my lifelong love of kitties, but anyway ( Read more... )

My local paper came through with a lovely interview just in time for the upcoming release of A Little Taste of Poison on Sept. 27th:

There are a few tidbits for those who are wondering what's coming next -- and kerravonsen, there is a shout- ( Read more... )

Since I'm not updating my Tumblr any more, you all get the dubious benefit of me overthinking The Force Awakens here instead (because that is basically how I've been rolling non-stop since the end of December).

( Cut to spare the speculation-averse... )

sartorias aka Sherwood Smith has a fascinating discussion going over on her LJ about when you only like one (or, if they're prolific, two or three) of an author's works and bounce off the rest. So far the responses have mostly been people commisserating and sharing which authors and which books affected them this way, but there's also been some discussion ( Read more... )
