He was a very large man. It was an unfair description. There were other things one noted about him, things that were more concerning and carried greater weight. The way he moved, for example, with athletic grace. The way he sat, elegant, poised, relaxed, but conveying a coiled readiness. The razor-sharp intellect shining in his

The Tea Party (Snippet)
We read the comments on the last blog post and you guys are so supportive. Thank you so much. It was really touching. We brought you a short snippet today as a small thank you. Nobody said anything. We all just stared at [REDACTED] image for a long moment. “This is not good,” Connor said.

Running behind this morning. Here is a snippet. Got to run to work. The Keeper of Records turned to me. He was of average height, slim, and old. Time had wrinkled his brown skin, carving a roadmap of years around his eyes and mouth, and turned his hair white. He wore a brown three-piece suit

Too Much
“Do you need to rest?” I asked. Alessandro paused midway up the stairs and pivoted to me, [Redacted] draped over his shoulders and back in classic fireman’s carry. “Why?” Because you are carrying a two-hundred-pound man up a narrow winding stairway consisting of seventy-five steps? “I thought you might want to take a short break.”

New Art from Luisa Preissler
I always wanted a painted family portrait. For sheer coolness of it. I am pretty sure Baylor sisters wanted one too, so we asked Luisa Preissler to paint one and here it is. It is absolutely amazing. Isn’t that just gorgeous? So thrilled with this, I can’t even tell you. And she put in so

Today we bring you a fun snippet. You’ve read a little bit of this before, but this is the whole chapter, so if you don’t want to reread, skip to the new bit. Hehehe. “Is it haunted?” Oh, for the love of… “No, Arabella.” My sister squinted at the monstrosity of a house growing closer
