Okay, so it’s no secret, I hate cooking. I’m not an awful cook or anything, I just don’t like doing it. Okay, there was than one time I made some kind of orange chicken dish and even the cats wouldn’t eat it, but it was my first (and last) time using that recipe. But, without […]
“What the fuck am I supposed to do with this?” Kylie demanded. “Manners, Kylie,” he mother said. Hollis rolled her eyes at her cousin. She would have thought that maybe…just maybe, Kylie would have outgrown her overblown sense of entitlement. Nope. She was just as much of a bitch as ever. And her aunt […]
I’m not sure is this is other bloggers in general or the Wednesday Random bloggers, so I’m going with the Wednesday Random bloggers since they’re some of my very best friends.

It time for another favorite things post – this month it’s quotes. I adore quotes. Seriously love them. These are just a few of my favorites that are frequently used in daily life – some for writing, some for not-writing. “In this parade of stupid and dumb, I am the one twirling the flaming […]
Last week Thursday, my girl, Jess Jarman, and I traveled to Texas. Jenny Trout was supposed to come, but she was sick as hell, so it was just me and Jess. There were a crap ton of delays on the way there, and we finally got to the hotel sometime after midnight. We were starving […]
It’s time for another favorite things post. And this month? Beauty products! Â Okay, I admit, I’m constantly looking for the Holy Grail of mascara and hair conditioner. It’s an unending battle. Oh, and also the perfect scent. But I’ll share a few of my favorites with you. Â Also, I apologize for all the wonky spacing […]
There’s that old writers’ adage: write what you know. I have mixed feelings about this advice. It’s true, I set a lot of stories in Michigan, because I know the area fairly well, and it means that I’ll be less likely to screw up certain things. But, I’ve also set stories in the UK. I […]
