I’ve been remiss in keeping up with book news, so let me fix that. First off, I’m delighted to share that I’ve gotten all of my rights back from previous publishers! As I go through and re-edit (and likely add to the stories) I’ll be republishing them. And I’ve already released the first of the […]
Today’s flash fiction is inspired by one of my favorite songs, A Mháire Bhruinneal, by the wonderful, Susan McKeown. Here are the lyrics, in case you read Irish.

Finally! Some daffodils! A cross stitch sampler I made my daughter. My niece and her unicorn she named, Yogurt. Willow deciding I don’t need any personal space. My nieces and their unicorns. PS: If you want one of these adorable unicorns or a ton of other fabulous crocheted stuff, go see my friend, Tonya! My […]

Best and Worst is a newish feature where we just talk about whatever we feel is the best and worst of the scheduled topic, and this month, we’re talking about POV. Worst: Ugh–Third Person Omniscient. I don’t know if I can straight up say it’s the worst POV–I mean, a lot of people enjoy it. […]
