Monthly Cuppa: Changing Gears
Welcome, all! As you may have noticed, I decided to make a change to the Friday blog posts, switching from the pressure-oriented, horrifyingly official Weekly Update to the much more accessible (and realistic) Monthly Cuppa. So, while I’ll still mention where and how progress is occurring in our creative pod, I will only be doing …
Weekly Update: February 4, 2022
It’s Friday! And there’s a wee bit of ice outside, but nothing like last February (so far). During the week, in addition to “ice prepping” and “long distance offspring coaching,” and Kelley and I had another time-zone-crossing meet up and knocked out a chapter for Crew Who Came in From the Cold. This went well, …
Question of the Month: 1
Hello, and welcome to the first ever question of the month, wherein we draw a name from the “Private Facilitator” membership and, whoever is drawn can ask a question of any character or author they choose. Both the questions and the answers will be posted both here and on our Buy Me a Coffee page.* …
Weekly Update: January 28, 2022
We seem to have arrived at the last full week of January, which happened terribly fast, quite likely because I spent every spare moment (and a few not so spare) of this past week binge reading all of Anne Leckie’s Imperial Radch Trilogy, John Jackson Miller’s Star Trek: Picard prequel, Rogue Elements, and Emily St. John Mandel’s …
Weekly Update: January 21, 2022
Getting the sad news out of the way first. The cat I mentioned last week did, indeed, decide she was done by this past Wednesday. She will be missed, from her calm acceptance of everything and everyone, to her mighty purr, to the way she made a tribble noise every time a person would pet …
Weekly Update: January 14, 2022
Okay-this week is a little wonky. Like, I lost track of which days I was supposed to post which chapter of which book wonky. Mostly because since last Friday, I have flown to and from another state (in two days!), then come home to an aged and ill cat who we’re at the “coaxing to …
Weekly Update: January 7, 2022 (New Year, New Website)
Happy Friday, y’all. So, the first week of the year flew past in a flurry of getting youngest student ready to return to college. I’ll be accompanying her, so the weekend is basically me, on planes. Crossing fingers weather and flights behave. While all that was happening, I pulled the lever on a small, yet …

Weekly Update: December 31, 2021 (Ringing Out the Old)
Kathleen here, bearing greetings and wishes for a Happy New Year (Solar Edition), from all the Outrageous Fiction crew. I’m just coming off ten straight days of seasonal work, and I can tell you, my muscles are feeling it! As I mentioned in last week’s post, I spent the entire holiday providing cat care. My …

Weekly Update: December 24, 2021
First of all, happiest of birthdays to Mr. L. Gene Brown, who is not only an amazing creator of worlds, he shares a birthday with my (Kathleen’s) youngest-meaning there’s at least one person out there who won’t lose track of that close-to-holiday birthday. To celebrate, both The Gemini Hustle and Outrageous Fortune have been reduced …
Weekly Update: December 17, 2021
Introducing our first weekly update, in which we share what outrageous fiction we’ve been working on, where we are in various stages of creation, and anything else of interest that has occurred during the week. First of all, we’re thrilled report that The Libra Gambit is one week away from it’s final chapter! And while …
