I’m pleased to report I’m no longer the Plague Maiden – hooray for Gypsy Cold Care Tea and copious doses of echinacea, goldneseal, garlic, zinc and vitamin C! In fact, I felt so much better I went to a drum circle Friday night with my friend Jen, because yes, I am that just that crunchy […]
I’m feeling a bit whiny today. I had an appointment to take the kittens to the vet for their shots and I noticed that my cat Rowan’s mouth looked funky so I took him with me. Turns out he has mouth cancer. He had to stay overnight at the vet’s and have his tooth pulled […]
When I was in high school, MTV first came on the air. (Yes…I know…I’m old. Whatever.) Anyway, I watched it whenever I could (at my friends’ since my parents refused to get cable) and was totally fascinated by it. The first time I saw Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart, my response was, FWUH? […]
TEB is doing something kinda nifty – they’re re-releasing individual stories from anthologies as single titles and Moonlit Magic releases today! Here’s the blurb and excerpt. Blurb: Brought back to Ireland by her job, American Beckett Matthews jumps at the chance to study an artefact that recently washed ashore on an Irish beach. She’s thrilled […]
So I was hanging out with the lovely Brynn Paulin the other day and she was helping me make promo stuff for the upcoming Romanticon ’cause technology and I aren’t best-ies. Anyway, we were talking about what images we’d use on the postcards and wondering about what EC would do with the cover art for […]
My Dad had another bypass surgery on Friday and I’m pleased to say that although it was more extensive than the doctor had planned on and despite a minor infection, he’s doing quite well. Of course, he’s more than ready to go home, but they’re going to keep him at least another day. I’m about […]
So last night, Jen Armintrout (because she’s made of awesome) took me to Chicago to see the national touring company of Spring Awakening. Best. Musical. Ever. Seriously. It was the best show I’ve seen in ages. (Laughter, tears, chills – utter brilliance) The show is set in Germany is 1891 and it follows the lives […]
I’m supposed to be doing laundry and packing so we can leave to go on a short vacation tomorrow, but I’m procrastinating. Big time. I’m sure no one is surprised by this. 😉 To further my procrastination, I thought I’d post an excerpt of Handcuffs and Lies which comes out Tuesday, August 4th from Resplendence […]
Today is the day that I always forget – ’cause I’m a bad big sister. Usually, I’m on some sort of trip every year on this day and always forget to tell my brother happy birthday and then guiltily remember it several days later. Well, not this year! Happy 29th Birthday, Martin! I love you!!! […]
I spent most of the day yesterday at a family reunion. Us usual, I had a blast because I pretty much adore everyone in my fam. However, yesterday I discovered a new person to adore. It seems that after my uncle’s divorce, he got around a bit and had several kids with several different women. […]
