Annie woke with her face pressed against cold glass. Slowly sitting up straight and peeling her face off the window, she swallowed. Clearly something had crawled into her her mouth and died while she was out. And where the fuck was she, anyway? She rubbed her hand across her crusty eyes and came away with […]

As I mentioned in my last post, it’s been a fuck of a year–personally, professionally, politically…all the Ps, really. But today is the start of a new year. Now, I’m not under the impression that things will be magically different simply because it’s the first day in a new calendar year. I mean, I wish that was […]
So, this post is meant to be the annual look back at 2016 and a look ahead at goals for 2017. I think Helen Mirren said it well. For me, this year has pretty much sucked endless ass–particularly on the professional, cultural, social and political fronts. But for the sake of this post (and my […]
So, this is super cool. The amazing, adorable, talented, and hilarious Tanya Eby narrated one of my very favorite pieces of flash fiction, The Blue Doors! You can listen to it here for free! Also? Unlike my other audiobooks and narrated stories, it’s totally SFW.
I feel like I could just copy my last year’s holiday post (and the year before that, and the year before that, and probably the year before that one, too) which I believe went something like: Oh my god, how are there only X days ’til Christmas? I still have a mountain of sewing and cross stitching […]
Yeah…this week’s topic? This is pretty much how I’m feeling about it. And also this. And some of this. With a whole lotta this. Okay, so it may not be apparent, but I’m having a little trouble with the whole concept of balance. I don’t feel like any area of my life is anywhere near […]
Right now, I admit, I’m having a harder time than usual feeling thankful–which isn’t to say that I don’t have anything to be thankful for, but it’s harder to push through the clouds of fear and dread sounding this country and my family and friends. But in spite of all this, I’m thankful for so […]
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a new release. This year has been a bit on the rough side, which I’ll blog more about at some point, but not today. Today is all about the Sportsball. I know, I know… The idea of me and anything sports-related is pretty unlikely. Okay, let’s just be honest. Very unlikely. […]
It’s getting to be that time of year. The shopping/hardcore crafting time of year. I anticipate that I’ll be knitting, sewing, and cross stitching like a mad fiend any moment now. And I’ll also start bugging my kids and nieces and nephews for gift ideas. But these are a few of the things on my wishlists. […]
Some background on this text you’re about to see: My family’s nickname for me is T-Rex because my arms are short and I can’t reach shit. In fact, when I need something on an upper shelf, I yell, “T-Rex needs help!” and someone who’s taller than me needs to come reach stuff down for me. […]
