A list of everything I've published under Wizard's Wood Press, and where to find it, in a sticky posting.

I know for a fact I have to fill up two years with -- stuff. Things. Happenings. Reasons why the heroine can't just cut loose and go home.
So I stare into the vacuity.
Once I invent things, a few more things appear, but it's going to have a fair amount of invention to hold the scaffolding for the structure.
Even if the scaffolding disappears in the end
sigh

ah politics
Feb. 10th, 2026 11:15 amSo why is this story so hard to plot?
The heart-rending story of two people forced together by the politics and machinations about them! They do not care who sits on the throne, but they come to care for each other!
I conclude that they do not care about politics, but politics cares about them. Not in the sense that anyone thinks two lowly born characters have any say in how things turn out. (Until the end, hehehehehe. . . ) But in the sense that I will need at least the broad strokes of how things turn out.

The Silver Bullet
Feb. 8th, 2026 05:36 pmThe Silver Bullet, and Other American Witch Stories by Hubert J. Davis
A selection of folktales gathered in the 1930s. A number of people claimed to have been the actual victims, others to know the people involved. A number are just told without a connection. Two are recognizable fairy tales.
It has sections about how to become a witch, how they worked, how to counter them, and tales of their witchery for money or mischief. Many references to witch doctors (or white witches).

the silliness of plot bunnies
Feb. 5th, 2026 07:33 pmThere was this story, I had outlined it, and started it, and lost interest. . . .
Out of the blue, it hopped up again and suggested I could work on it and fit it in a collection that is, at the moment, still up in the air.
How silly those plot bunnies get

Bones rules
Feb. 5th, 2026 06:48 pmBones rules; or, Skeleton of English grammar by John B. Tabb
Turn-of-the-last-century grammar lessons. Basic, sound grammar, with some additional interest in his choices of sentences to analyze. Many from poems, and with some interesting placing of the parts of a sentence.
He does note that any word can be used as a verb, even then.

ah, prince
Jan. 22nd, 2026 11:39 pmPoking at the ideas for a story.
There's a prince in it. And originally I was thinking of simply making him a real prince.
Hmm, maybe the conflict would work better if he weren't so noble. More like his brothers until he reforms during the story.
Except that I ponder that and he gets worse and worse, and in a way that prevents the story resolution. His fiancee/wife is still noble. . . .
Ah, the first stages of stories.
