My mom wanted me to finish up my new edition of Adventures in Thailand (my mission letters home -- the ones I wrote for public consumption, which you can read right now at Blank Slate), so I decided to finish it up today. I hadn't realized it was ...

I've been rather busy with school, but if I can keep on top of my homework, Riverglen Press work should continue to go forward. In theory. :) So, my two projects right now are Grimm's Hausmärchen (as I've mentioned a few times) and Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (which I ...

It did indeed take around an hour longer. :) Here's the student edition of Beowulf I mentioned yesterday: I do wonder about the quality of the text, but from a cursory skim it looked like all was in ...

I'm working on two new projects for Riverglen Press. The first is a student edition of Beowulf: It's intended for students of Old English, with ample room for notes and glosses. At 30 lines a page, and 3182 lines in the poem, the whole thing ...

It's funny how the stuff you write years ago can become so embarrassing. I've been going through Blank Slate, sweeping the dust under the (lush oriental) rug, tidying the front hallway so it doesn't look like the shambles it's become, and it's almost painful to read what I ...

I finally made an RSS feed for Riverglen Press. It's only new releases at this point, since there isn't much else (yet). But soon... (Riverglen Press is where I indulge in my bookmaking whims, by the ...

I've finally created an RSS feed for Riverglen Press. Right now it's just new releases, and the in-the-works notes will still show up on here. (Later on I'll add a blog to RiverglenPress.net and move them over.) RSS feeds are amazing simple to make, by the way. ...

I'm pleased to announce that Phantastes is finally available for PDF download from Riverglen Press: I'm not really worrying (or caring) about making a Lulu edition at this point. Maybe in a couple of weeks I won't be as frustrated with them ...

I'm more frustrated with Lulu. ~sigh~ Apparently you can't track book sales if you don't have a creator revenue set (i.e., if you're selling the books at cost). You can see how many have been sold total, but there's no breakground. Bah. So, I've had to set a ...

Yesterday was delicious. I spent an hour or so working on my new novel (outlining it and writing a draft of the first chapter), then read books for most of the rest of the day. Sixpence House by Paul Collins is a delightful memoir about books. I ...
