Steampunk Narration and a Glimpse of The Hobbit

My latest unabridged narration for StarShipSofa, which is of Nicole Kornher Stace's story "To Seek Her Fortune" (from Clockwork Phoenix 3), is now available to stream or download on the latest episode of the podcast. If you listen, I hope you enjoy! (A full list of links to my unabridged dramatic readings is here.)


The latest behind-the-scenes blog from The Hobbit shows some instantly identifiable moments from the novel, including a wonderful (and moving) glimpse of Bilbo when he's climbed to the top of the oak in Mirkwood. .

"Sorry! I don't want any adventures, thank you. Not today. Good morning! But please come to tea - any time you like! Why not tomorrow? Come tomorrow! Good-bye!"
- Bilbo Baggins, The Hobbit

Holiday Cards - Request!

I would love to send a holiday card to my friends, no matter where they are on the planet or which holiday they celebrate. (We make our own cards each year, starring the world's most beautiful Boston terrier, Virginia.) If you would like to receive a card from me this December, please reply with your name, mailing address, and, if you like, which holiday(s) you celebrate.

All replies are screened so that only I can read them.

Thank you!
