Recent Recap: latter 2025

Posted on by under Updates

Equinox Watershed Seattle Georgetown Primal Spiral & Friday Harbor 1st Block
Primal Spiral creative studio evolved through its reactivation in 2025, starting up for a season and some at Make.Shift in Bellingham. I accepted an offer for studio space in Seattle Georgetown with the Equinox Collective Watershed arts neighborhood project, and transferred my Bellingham functions here. I also reopened in Friday Harbor, my island town address, on the first block from the ferry at [Parking Gate] 3. So now there’s Primal Spiral Seattle & Primal Spiral Friday Harbor, and at these places I can forge ahead with new writing, and receive creative company.

Seattle WorldCon 2025
Seattle WorldCon was a culmination of years of participation and contribution, and I’m so proud of my local SFF and writing community for hosting a world-class event that brought many of the amazing authors, artists, publishers, and fans that I’ve been hobnobbing with for the previous decade to our very own city neighborhood. Along with speaking on some fabulous panels, I hosted my first WorldCon dealer’s table, which was a cheery scene, and invited people to my Midnight Write-In Cacao & Tea Social Hour at Primal Spiral Georgetown.

There are some new poems just rolled out, a demiromantic 3-pack:
Let Me Be Your Ocean, Bold Sailor (after my Let Me Be Your Ocean, Bold Surfer)
When Search AI Has No Idea What You’re Talking About, on oKOMOn News
feminine ego grandiosity / this does not seem allowed (see above)

ELASIEL176CE: 12/21/25 print date
This story came together from ideas and processes that began some time ago, and was ready to step forth for publication after Bones of Starlight; I consider it part of a larger book, titled alwaysbeeneverwas, with other intertwined mythologies. In this separate photoessay-constructed form, it’s a Fantasy New Age Multiple Life Philosophy Erotica; for sale to ages 18+, only as an additional purchase to any other volume by the author, in print through limited in-person/author-direct distribution; with a look to a later-upcoming online release on: Only Fans.

I renewed with SFWA through 2026
I’m also renewed with the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association through 2026! Cheers to my second year in the professionals’ formal league.

Seattle: Celebrus Lupercalia

Posted on by under Uncategorized, Updates

I’ll be bringing my typewriter to Seattle to host a Love Letters station at Celebrus Lupercalia, Saturday Feb. 1, 4/8pm-2am at Substation.

~~Lupercalia~~
a pre-Roman pastoral festival; releasing, love, health, bounty, and fertility.
It is a celebration of the fertile spirit, and we honor this with a [paean] to PAN. The holiday was the inspiration for the western holiday of Valentines and a continuation of the ancient celebration of FEBRUA [~= febrile]; which is the root for the name of the month February. It is a light hearted celebration intended to lift spirits and bring about a bountiful spring summer and harvest season. It is also to honor that romantic desire of connection and lust.

A love letter can be to anyone, of any kind of love you wish to celebrate and commemorate. I can aid you as scribe with transcription or creative guidance, and the letter is a keepsake. I previously typed love letters for people at Behind the Veil 2 in Port Townsend and the variety was a delight. As a young person learning about love, I read a volume or two of love letters by luminaries to their romances, and while I realize those were not addressed to me, they did inspire me to cultivate my own sentiments. I’m pleased to be keeping this art alive. Meanwhile there will be rooms and hours of music, a 4-course dinner to delight, and merriment besides.

ACE Comic Con Recap

Posted on by under Uncategorized, Updates

This was an enormous weekend on so many fronts! It’s hard to go into the depth of the experience without spinning a legend, so I’ll sketch the merest outline.

First, some thanks to Stephen Shamus, the man with the plan! Making the calls to make it all happen, he’s a top rock star getting us all working together. With actress Mandy Rivera.

Here’s a small highlight of conventiongoing characters who took a moment with a Bones of Starlight book:

Haku of Spirited Away!
Mr. Stark
Is Kelli Staci a character? In a way…
Leeloo Dallas MULTIPASS!

Here are some well-known entertainers who I had the pleasure of meeting, with thanks to those who made it possible – all of whom personally accepted a copy of my latest novel, Bones of Starlight: Abyss Surrounding.

Deborah Ann Woll & Eva L. Elasigue
Eva L. Elasigue, Zoe Saldana, Mandy Rivera
Josh Brolin, Eva L. Elasigue, Mandy Rivera, Chris Evans

 

And here’s your humble author – felicitations to all who now have a new book from me!

Extra Bonus: Pride Weekend! I joined NorwesCon this year to walk in Seattle Pride Parade. I went dressed as a Muse – both in the classical sense of a figure that inspires others to create, and with resemblance to the mechanical muses from comicbook Girl Genius! I bore a scroll painted by Leo Shallat, photo by writer Phil Foglio.

Ace Comic Con Seattle 2019

Posted on by under Uncategorized, Updates

An advanced note to let you know I’m confirmed as an Artist Alley exhibitor for ACE Comic Con Seattle 2019! This traveling celebrity convention has welcomed me to exhibit in the Chicago & Phoenix areas, and I’m happy to join them as they return to my locality of Seattle, where I first checked them out last summer.

My moment at the top of the creator’s list, by the excellent interview host of the AZ celebrity panels.

And of course, the supporting talent (actually, in a significant way they are supporting the lesser-known exhibitors with their big names and audience draw while people make the most of their day tickets by exploring the entire hall):
