Tech Wizard (Lymond de Sevigny)

As I enter my mature years, only two things propel me to the top of the cat tree. One is my sworn enemy, the vacuum cleaner. The other is the Can-Opener, when she is attempting (and usually failing) to do something with a mechanical object. Most particularly the computer. Whenever she attempts something new and ...Read more.

‘Ears to Ya! (Lynn Kerstan)

Some of you may remember I was diagnosed with my third (!) kind of cancer nearly four months ago. Yesterday, I finally had the “procedure” to eliminate the basel cell carcinoma, a Big Scary Name for a non-spreading thingie located on the shell of my ear. It was about the size of a dime, the ...Read more.

A Whale (minnow) of a Tale (Lynn Kerstan)

Intrepid (indolent) adventurer that I am, I decided to make one more try at actually seeing a whale on a whale-watching boat tour. Okay, receiving a juicy GroupOn discount was a factor (the deciding factor). Pat will remember that on a previous joint effort when she was here in San Diego, nary a whale was ...Read more.

Almost the Cover (Lynn Kerstan)

Crazy day. Car problems. 8am appointment with a mechanic to take care of things, so I’m toddling off to bed as soon as possible.   But as promised, I wanted to debut the cover of my novella, the one that’s paired with Alicia Rasley’s novella (Allegra’s Song), here on StoryBroads. Neither will be available for ...Read more.

Trips and Travails (Lynn Kerstan)

Lorenzo the Leopard (aka Lonzo the Leopard) arrived at my home this week. He’s looking forward to our trip. For the present, he chooses to hang out where the Alpha Cat, Monsieur le Comte de Sevigny, can’t get to him. When they were introduced, Lymond gave him a look that boded no good for the ...Read more.

Beflustered (Lynn Kerstan)

The choices are: Lorencio the Leopard;   Lalo the Leopard.   Leopoldo the Leopard.   Lisandro the Leopard.   Lorenzo the Leopard.  Luciano the Leopard. I, the Can-Opener, am struggling to finish a rush editing job. Later today, I’ll update this blog and explain what’s going on here. Really, it’s not altogether silly business. I do have a purpose. ...Read more.

What a Week! (Lynn Kerstan)

Let this be said about Pat Potter. She is an intrepid woman. Precisely a year ago, we were cruising the Adriatic along the Dalmatian Coast. I had booked the trip for myself, and when she learned about it, she immediately signed onto  join me. We had a fabulous time. Since then, except for a writers ...Read more.

Fly-By Blog (Lynn Kerstan)

As many of you know, from meeting her or reading her wonderful books and/or her blog, Pat Potter is is a remarkable woman. Also thoughtful and remarkably generous, as I know from experience. She’s just returned from a Christmas Markets river cruise on the Rhine, where she saw these three adorable cat figurines and decided ...Read more.

The Gateway to Light (Lynn Kerstan)

This is something of a Geek Blog, so beware. When I get fascinated by something, I feel compelled to foist it on an unsuspecting world. So. I’m writing this on the evening of the Winter Solstice, which has been recognized by humans for millennia and provided our distant ancestors with a marker to help track ...Read more.

Oh, Woe is I (Lynn Kerstan)

Not really woe. Everything important is fine. But as if the Universe wants to keep me on guard, lots of little, pleasurable things have gone awry. Like the annual Critique Group Christmas Party I had been looking forward to. Fun people, good writers, excellent conversation, and a yummy buffet. What’s not to like? Well, the ...Read more.
