Evil Genius Inc is currently on mid-year school holidays. And it has not exactly been the best school holidays. We’ve had toxic paint fumes right outside our front door (always a joy during pregnancy), 10 days straight of rain, and then the spawnlings were hit with Slap Cheek (5th’s disease […]

Do you have a pet? A fluffy puppy? An evil cat? At Evil Genius Inc, we have three. Yes – 3. And today, I really REALLY regret each of them. You see, we have dragons. Yes – Dragons. Oh, alright – if you want to spoil the magic. They are […]
