I had this idea that coronavirus would be heaven for me because I’ve been working from home with my kids circling all day long for ten years. This should be my time to shine. I was looking forward to when schools closed down. I wanted all the parents to ask each other: How are you […]

Sometime in February, it was clear that the US was headed toward crisis, and every day we don’t take major action would make the crisis geometrically worse. Suburban schools closed first. The last school districts to close are bigger cities, because they had to figure out how to get breakfast and lunch to the kids […]

I knew something was wrong the day my son lay in bed in an emergency room waiting for his MRI to come back. A nurse entered his room and said, “Has your son been outside the country recently?” I did a double-take. “It’s pretty late to be asking that, isn’t it?” “Ma’am, yes or no?” […]

Last week I received a very long email with instructions for Zeder. This year millions of Jews around the world will log into Zoom, and try to continue a 2000-year tradition of not changing the tradition. We will recall plagues of past like infestation of locusts and raining frogs and we’ll silently scoff that Egypt […]

Each night before I go to sleep, I lay in bed torturing myself with the day’s news. I know we are not supposed to do that, but there are very few vices I can fully engage in when we have five people living in a 1000-square-foot apartment. Screen-time news right before bed is a vice […]

I learned about bouncing back from the diet industry. This is not surprising. All the best research about personal development comes from the diet industry because there’s so much money to be made if you can figure out how to help people lose weight. One study that I have never forgotten is that if you […]

Recently a flurry of articles about academic overachievers appeared in scientific journals. Specifically, the research found that people with a diagnosis of Autism were more frequently high achievers in school. And people diagnosed with ADHD were more frequently low achievers in school. A paper published last week in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders […]

I stopped talking with my mom a few years ago. She might not have noticed at first. My brothers have all cut her off at times as well. But my mom is pragmatic. She knows she and my dad were terrible parents. She apologizes and by all accounts, she is a much more enjoyable person […]

My grandfather, Allan Linder, age 94, passed away on Tuesday. Not Covid-19 related, and that’s only one of the things that’s been very surreal about the last few weeks. Telling people, “My grandpa is sick – it’s not covid,” as a kind of verbal footnote. He went into hospice care in early February after a […]

We are all going to be agoraphobes and germaphobes when this is over. Actually, I’m doing okay. I need to go to the store, partly to assure myself that I still CAN go to the store, if that makes sense. I’m finally able to settle in to this “new normal” of self-isolating and going around […]

Hey there. Today I’d like to talk about SHOPPING. Like a lot of folks, I’m worried about my favorite small local shops and restaurants who are having to shut down during this crisis. I’m also REALLY worried about my favorite convention, SCA, and Ren Faire vendors, who’ve basically had all their events and income streams […]

Here are the recent TV binge watches. The Letter for the King. This is on Netflix, and it’s one of my favorite genres:  YA fantasy, which when it’s done well can be so very good — earnest, full of wonder, a clear-cut story not weighed down by the cynicism of things like Game of Thrones. […]

I found a fun game to play. It’s a pale substitute for actually being at conventions and hanging out with my friends, but it’s something. Question: What new character can I pull together to cosplay with stuff I already have at home? Answer:

I have finally seen The Black Hole for the first time in probably 25 years. No, make that 35 years. I don’t know, it’s been awhile, which is kind of weird for such an iconic, formative movie. Don’t laugh, you know it’s true — there’s a whole generation of us who saw this while we […]

I’ve been nattering on about Robin Hood for over a year now, and I’m happy to say that it’s all been to good purpose: The Ghosts of Sherwood has a starred review in Publishers Weekly! Pull quote:  “Vaughn’s masterful worldbuilding and lovable cast promise more good things to come in future adventures.” This is a […]

Like lots of cosplayers and historical recreationists, I have been sewing masks. It takes me a long time to sew them, so I haven’t been making a lot. But I managed to get my whole family masked up, and now I’m making them for donation. I haven’t had to buy new supplies to do this. […]

I just realized I haven’t updated any of my websites to reflect that everything has been cancelled. I should probably do that. Trying not to feel like I’m dropping balls. I mean, it’s not like things are “business as usual” at all. But every week there’s a few things on the “to do” list that […]

The pandemic, when so many of us are getting self-taught crash courses in video production… Here’s a quick clip of me reading from THE GHOSTS OF SHERWOOD! This is due out in early June, and will be available in paperback, e-book, and audio! In other news… The weather is FINALLY warming up. Spring seems to […]
