A very happy new year to all of you.  My apologies for my lack of updates to this blog.  With the end of the year looming it seemed everything hit me at once and somethings I wasn’t entirely expecting, including an unexpected move.  Luckily my mother showed up for Christmas and we had a good time together.  It was nice to have a loving presence when my daughter wasn’t there to fill the void.

A few wonderful things have happened to me since my last post, including getting a new place that has more room for my daughter and myself. A promotion that came complete with a pay raise that allowed me to pay for the new place.  A wonderful Christmas gift from my mother in the form of a new couch and new bed for my daughter.  And finally, I started a webserial.

The serial in question is named the Deep Underground.  The serial is, as the site banner (done by none other than the lovely Nancy Brauer of Strange Little Band fame)  states, Bladerunner meets Tank Girl.  Take a dystopian future complete with mutants and cyborgs and throw in a woman who is blue from head to toe and loves to blow stuff up and you have the Deep.  Though I suppose the Smurfs fit in there some where too.  Of course the main character, Ada Kaze, would likely blow me up if she knew I said that, so let’s just keep that amongst ourselves, hmm?

Along with a prologue and a part one of chapter one of the Deep being up. I’ve also posted the beginning of a Universe hopping escapade that’s slated to span two months, with lots of time between posts for all the respective authors to have time to interact with the bad guy who is the glue that will bind all of these universes together.  And that bad guy is none other than the leading antagonist from my webserial, the Deep: Aaron Waldgrave.  The Strange Little Band LJ Commuity will be hosting all of the posts to allow for authors to interact via comments once the initial scene is set.

Along with that I’ve been taking a gander at another web serial by a very talented woman named Lyn Thorne-Alder.  Her web serial is titled Addergoole and it is all together engrossing.  I’ll be doing a review of it once I’ve actually caught up on it. I’m about half way and I have to say, it’s been hard to put down.

I have a half finished entry just waiting for me to finish regarding psychology in literature.  I’ll do my best to get it spruced up and ready for public consumption soon. And then, really, it’s back to my genre review. No really!
