Midsummer
Kage Baker loved Midsummer. What’s not to love, after all? Midsummer, St. John’s Day, Litha, the Summer Solstice that marks the longest day and the shortest night of the year – it’s the very peak and pivot of summer. And … Continue reading

To Every Season
Kage Baker hated change. That’s not so peculiar, really. Most people dislike change, when you get right down to it. When there’s some vast problem, some injustice or societal harm going on, then people want a change – but in … Continue reading
Grass and Air
Kage Baker did a surprisingly good Blanch De Bois imitation. She wasn’t the sort of woman poor Blanche is, but she could summon an astounding Southern drawl from the depths of her maternal genome. Kage could coo like a born … Continue reading

Kage Baker considered herself a rational person. It had nothing to do with sanity, or intelligence, or whether or not one can control and/or access one’s emotions. She was just sure that even her deepest impulses and decisions were firmly … Continue reading
