It’s…elementary! Sherlock Holmes in the Further Adventures shop
The Further Adventures shop gets yet another infusion of stories! These are a wee bit different than the previous several and (just so you know what you’re getting into), Barbara has written up a little explanation about each of them. All four of these stories feature Sherlock Holmes (update Jan 25 – the fourth one […]
Antryg and Joanna are back! And Ingold and Gil!
It’s not every day you get an email that contains the following lines: “Personal Paradise is Antryg & Joanna, called in as consultants for a corporation selling condominiums in the Void.” “Whisper is Gil, Ingold, and the gang at the Keep, dealing with the ramifications of having a transporter but no operator’s manual for it.” […]
Happy Christmas!
Merry Christmas and best wishes for the upcoming year! Thanks for the good wishes sent after the last post – they are much appreciated. If you’re looking for a quick post-holiday read, consider one of the Further Adventures stories – I’m hoping that Barbara will have a new one soon for everyone to enjoy (I’m […]
Zippy update
Happy Thanksgiving (mostly to the Americans), and hi to everyone else! I should be catching up with Barbara soon and asking about new stories/upcoming plans. She’s been busy with teaching, and I’ve been…busy with my partner’s cancer. Yep, about when the robot finally was getting less needy, lymphoma entered my love’s life. It’s been a […]
Audiobooks
Okay…finally, after answering questions over a looooong period of many years, I can say: YES, THERE ARE AUDIOBOOKS. Audible has a number of them, including a lot of the older Del Rey fantasies, and at least some of the Benjamin January books. I’ve never understood the appeal of the audiobook, but I sincerely […]
Two New Further Adventure Stories!
Hi, all- I’ve just added the latest two arrivals to the Further Adventures. The latest two stories are Shadowbaby, set in the Winterlands/Dragonsbane universe, and Nanya of the Butterflies, a Sun Wolf and Starhawk story. Both stories are brand-new, never-before-published, and approximately 15 K words in length (I tell you the latter because…people ask). All […]
Plus-One joins the Further Adventures stable (Antryg alert!) tonight
Hi, all- Hope you’re having a great summer! The latest Further Adventures story, Plus-One, debuts tonight. If anyone thought that traveling to California meant Joanna and Antryg were going to have a nice peaceful life, unmarred by brushes with alien lifeforms, random Voids, and errant mageborn (not to mention rock stars, ectoplasm, and the intricacies […]

Hi, all- Barbara just sent the latest, all-new Further Adventures story, Fairest In The Land. This one is a Sun Wolf and Starhawk story…do the Wolf and Hawk get run out of town after their latest adventure? You’ll have to read on to find out! Fairest – as well as any of the other ten Further […]

New Vampire Story (Further Adventures, part 4)
Ready for a light bit of poolside reading? Further Adventures part four is here! Sunrise on Running Water is the latest offering, and Barbara describes it: “This is my vampire-on-the-Titanic story, which appeared in Dark Delicacies II in 2007. I re-read it yesterday and still think it’s pretty funny. Don Simon Ysidro makes a VERY […]
