Welcome!

I'm James Maxey, the author of numerous novels of fantasy and science fiction. I use this site to discuss a wide range of topics, with a heavy emphasis on cranky, uninformed rants about politics and religion and other topics that polite people attempt to avoid. For anyone just wanting to read about my books, I maintain a second blog, The Prophet and the Dragon, where I keep the focus solely on my fiction. I also have a webpage where both blogs stream, with more information about all my books, at jamesmaxey.net.

New house photos!

We've finally reached a point in our move where we've carted off the 5000 card board boxes that formed a maze in our living area and are able to take some photos:

 Our living room. Big skylights make the room feel bright and open. Pay no attention to the photos sitting on the floor instead of hanging on the wall.  

We picked the rug based on the colors of our cats... 

 We have a dining room! We can eat like civilized people instead of on the couch! 

 The deck as seen from the dining room window. The deck's bigger than our old living room.

 Our kitchen. When we bought it, there were no appliances and half the cabinet doors were missing.

 We plan to fill the long hallway with art and photos. Also, cats.

 The guest bathroom doubles as an art gallery.

 The guest bedroom. Oscar, the black and white cat, is stalking me as I take photos.

My office. And Oscar. He's ubiquitous. 

Look! Up on the wall!

The master bathroom, or parts of it, at least. 

The master bedroom. You can see the new bamboo floor we had installed. The ceiling fan is also new. Also, the white cat on the bed is kind of new. She was an outdoor cat at our old house who's very quickly figured out how to use furniture now that we've brought her inside.

It was a great idea to have a skylight in your living room. With this addition, natural light can come in and fill your living room space which will make it appear spacious, airy, and fresh. I want to have a living room as cozy as this one.

The parallel skylights seem like a part of the interior décor. I love it! But what treatment do you use on it? Yes, it allows more natural light, making the ambiance more comfortable. But when the sun is shining at its brightest at midday, it can get really hot. I think a light-filtering cover will work well in your living room.

Amazing! I'm sure that those bug skylights made everyone want to hang out in your living room. For me, skylights are one addition that can completely change the feel of a room. And aside from making it bright and airy, you can simply just stare at the sky through it and have a relaxing nap time.
