It’s Westminster Time ! I’ll be glued to the TV Monday and Tuesday, watching the best of the best compete for #1. Anyone want to wager which breed wins? I’ll be back on Wednesday, though, with a progress report on the Keeper series coming public 🙂 But in the meantime – SEND IN THE HOUNDS!

Chapter 10 of Ether was posted on Friday, and I’m making great progress in bringing out the sequels in the Keeper series. The first sequel, Madness, will definitely be available in February – so keep an eye out. They will also be made available free to read on the website, but for people like me…

sequels – sequels – sequels
Everyone loves a sequel, right? Well, not really. Too many good movies have been ruined by crappy sequels made for no other purpose than to cash in on the popularity of the original. But I can assure you this is not the case! Honest. Since Trunk Novels has been put on hold while Lori works…

Chainmaille as Modern Armor: Why We Wear What Makes Us Feel Strong
There’s a reason we reach for certain pieces when we need to feel grounded, brave, or a little more ourselves. Jewelry has always been more than decoration. It’s a signal, a story, a shield. And for many of us, Chainmaille is the closest thing we have to modern armor. We don’t expect battle, but we…
Bold is Beautiful. Wearing a Statement Necklace with Ease.
This Byzantine chainmaille necklace—three lush shades of green, held together with larger silver rings—might seem bold at first glance. It’s intricate, significant, unapologetically present. And yet, on her, it doesn’t overwhelm. It enhances. There’s a quiet confidence in choosing a piece that others might call “too big.” But what does that even mean? Too bold…
Chainmaille in the Steampunk World
We’ve been told more than once that “chainmaille has no place in the Steampunk realm.” That line usually comes right after Steampunk cosplayers encourage us to apply. They love our work. It comes right before the event organizers reject us. We’ve heard similar things from Renaissance Fairs, too. Our colors aren’t “period enough,” our booth…
