The Pride Before the Fall

Posted on January 12, 2016 by Kate

Kage Baker was a menace to her own computer system. I’ve recounted this many times, I know. Kage appreciated the heck out of her computer, but she just had no instinctive feelings for the use of the machine. Every time … Continue reading →

December 31, 2015

Posted on December 31, 2015 by Kate

Kage Baker rated years like restaurants. This year, 2015, would have gotten a skull and crossbones. Only one, though, and lower case  – so, like, a toothless skull and 2 gnawed chicken legs. It wasn’t a vast and evil year, … Continue reading →

Posted on December 29, 2015 by Kate

Kage Baker said she saw each year as a dead end. Not a waste of time – she worked hard to make sure every  year was packed to bursting-full of work, meaning and consequence. Succeeded, too. No, she simply  envisioned … Continue reading →
