Take Me By the Tongue and I’ll Know You
I’ve already talked about this one a couple of times. If you’d like some alternative visuals try Sherlock or X-Men. Apparently an awful lot of people have the moves like Jagger… Playlist link here.
This. This is What I’m Writing About
December 13, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
People keep asking me what the book is about. There are lots of different answers to that, but the core of the story — it’s about the friendship between these two guys.* Friendship, swearing, and alcohol. It’s at least remotely possible this book is not YA. * Just so we’re clear. The two guys […]
I Don’t Know What Gave You That Impression…
September 28, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
Me: There are three ideas that came together to call this book into being — Rick: Alcohol, wizards and explosions? Me: (laughing) No… This book is based around three things. The thing with the magic and the alcohol. The thing with the pirates. And this friendship. I’ve mentioned the magic (although I haven’t explained about […]
Productive Chaos
September 13, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
I am having a day of productiveness. I think. I think because today has sort of been about lining up dominos. When I knock them down we’ll see if I was building pretty patterns or chaos. But I think when they fall I’ll have the next one/two/three chapters of wizards sorted. I was supposed to […]
Just in Case the End of the World Comes While You’re Out…
July 16, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
So just in case that whole Mayan-calendar-ending thing really does herald the end of the world, or, you know, if you want to be prepared for your everyday kind of apocalypse, these guys have put together an end-of-the-world survival kit. Crafted and designed in Mexico, in the most cheerful of colours. End of the world […]
Sick Days Are a Sign That You Need More Weekend
April 30, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
I think that if you’re sick on a weekend you should get a pass and be allowed an extra weekend day. Also, I think there should be a way so that my job properly includes sick days instead of them just being the-book-will-now-take-this-much-longer-to-finish days. Although sometimes I still do write when I’m sick. Sometimes it’s […]
Getting Drunk and Losing Sleep Are Good For Creativity?

Arkem: Is Pan doing better after the transplant? Me: He is feeling so much better. At least I think he is. Right now he thinks he’s Bob. But we’re working on that. Arkem: We’re all a little groggy after surgery. Me: Yeah, hopefully he will be fine by tonight. Or tomorrow anyway. Which will be […]
I Am a Drinker with Writing Problems
January 16, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
Whenever I post something on WordPress lately it tosses a quote at me along with a remark about how it thinks I’m doing, how long the post was and some pointed comments about how it would really like to be linked to every social networking site ever. I assume it does this to everyone, that […]
Ladies and Feather-Sworded Pirates, I Give You — Gentlemen in Squalor
January 4, 2012 by Kandace Mavrick
According to the official description, they’re exploring the cabaret gutter for delectation and illicit pleasure. All I can see is Dexter Fletcher doing Bugsy Malone all over again… There is no bad there. There is instead swing dancing, jazz and liquor. And Dexter Fletcher with the crazy hair.
