On Cats
Kage Baker professed to loathe cats. More than she professed to loathe most other animals, that is. But tonight, I want to talk about the cats I live with – because, though Kage would probably have disliked them, I love … Continue reading
The Great Outdoors, Indoors
Kage Baker didn’t really like most people. She had to get to know them individually, which she didn’t do often because she was busy and shy. Those who did get her attention long enough to get to know her – … Continue reading
A Small Report From The Edges of Reality
Kage Baker wasn’t fond at all of consensus reality. Considering, as she did, that reality was what you make it, she had a low opinion of the reality on offer – the group view, the mass of humanity view, the … Continue reading
New Chapter: Wherein I Lose An Orifice
Kage Baker always said, you should try to hook your audience with the first sentence. I hope the one above is odd enough to catch someone’s attention – not that I deserve it, having lapsed into so long a silence … Continue reading
Once More Unto the Breach
Kage Baker did give me a few choice bits of advice at the end of her life. It was that lovely afternoon that she spent surrounded by friends and family, with an unseasonably warm January wind coming off the ocean … Continue reading

Sunday At Home
Kage Baker loved weekends at home. She especially liked it when she had a project burning a hole in her brain (as it were): then she could spend the Sunday not in lazy perusal of the newspapers or old movies, … Continue reading
Lurching Forward
Kage Baker absolutely detested aphorism, mottos, feel-good admonitions and such-like pithy remarks. She most particularly hated them when they aimed at her, but their prevalence in society in general annoyed the shit out of her. “I don’t want to smile!” … Continue reading
I Am Not Yet Dead
Kage Baker wasn’t very concerned about much of the future when she reached the end of her days. She was worried about her last book getting finished (I did that, from her copious notes and instructions); she was worried about … Continue reading
