Update on Stacia Kane
Hello Again.
This is going to be short, but I wanted to let you all know that Stacia is doing much better. She is still in the hospital, and it looks like she’ll remain there for a little while yet, but she has been moved out of intensive care into an acute-care ward (which is a good sign) and her doctors/surgeons are pleased with her progress.

Stacia Kane Hospitalised
Hey All, Mr. Kane here, just wanted to let you know what’s been happening to Stacia over the past few days. On Wednesday she was taken to the hospital whereby it was discovered she had something wrong with her stomach. Emergency surgery followed and she is OK but will be out of action and off-line for awhile. Her hospital stay shouldn’t be too ( Read more... ) -
News, notes, and Norway!
First some YAYNEWS! My wonderful agentman has just sold UNHOLY GHOSTS, UNHOLY MAGIC, and CITY OF GHOSTS to Schibsted Forlag in Norway! I have no idea what the titles might translate to or when the books will be published there or anything else, but it’s awesome just the same. So I’m very excited.
Second, just a quick note re the blog. From now on, ( Read more... ) -
The Lazy Reader
Okay. Maybe someone can explain this to me.
In the past few days I’ve seen two of these display-site/make-your-books-go-viral/readers-can’t-wait-to-read-your-unedited-unpublished-book sites. Slush sites; also known as YADS (Yet Another Display Site), because yeah, this is an idea that people have been trying and trying for years now, and which has ( Read more... ) -

Just in time to celebrate the exclusive excerpt of Chapter Two over on Dark Faerie Tales (part of the Summer Supernatural Smackdown event; comment there and you could win all three Downside books!), I get to finally how you the cover of SACRIFICIAL MAGIC!
I’m so, so happy with it! It’s a new look, a new model (and she’s just gorgeous), and I couldn ( Read more... ) -
The Check-in
Sigh. This has happened to me a lot lately, so forgive me if I rant for a minute.
Anyone can email me. I love it when readers email me, frankly; it makes everything worthwhile and more. There’s a contact form here on the site that you can use, if you want. Or ask; I give my email address all the time, all over the place. It’s staciakane AT gmail. ( Read more... ) -
Your Cervix and You
So it seems there’s a whole bunch of debate about the HPV vaccine and whether or not girls should be given it-why aren’t we talking about it being given to men, btw? Or are we, and I simply missed it? Because those women aren’t catching HPV from each other, generally.
Anyway. This post isn’t actually about the HPV vaccine. It’s kind of not even ( Read more... ) -
My little Writing Rules pt. 2 (This one goes up to 11!)
So yesterday, if you missed it, I posted a bit of a rant about how disappointed I am with Dr. Who (link will open in new window) these days, particularly with the writing, which seems to have traded emotional depth, story, characterization, continuity, real suspense, and pacing for cheap manufactured twists and self-aware “cleverness.” I feel like ( Read more... ) -
My little writing rules
I just got finished-well, okay, I finished a few hours ago-watching the latest episode of Dr. Who (it’s Saturday night as I type this; the episode to which I’m referring is called “Night Terrors.” NOTE: There are spoilers in this post, so if you are a big Who fan and haven’t seen that episode yet, you may want to skip this until you have. Also, due ( Read more... )
