Here’s my post for the A-Z Challenge, letter O. I’m so glad it’s Friday. I’m finally starting to hit some of my deadlines again. Hope you’ve had a good week so far! Ordinary People Notice found on an intergalactic billboard: Yes, ordinary humans, we want YOU for a once-in-lifetime research opportunity. Now seeking human families, […]
Here is my daily post for A-Z Challenge, in which I am trying to write a story a day. I keep saying I am going to schedule a bunch of them ahead of time and then keep struggling instead to just keep up. Also, I keep thinking I should really skip a day to breathe […]
The neighbors were not happy about my choice of lawn art. As I pointed out, trying to be reasonable, it was a simple rock garden with a pool. They had a life-size buffalo and Native American statue in their yard. Oh, and then there was the bizarre log cabin facade on their house. When they […]
L is for Love On that day in March, I had only just arrived at the estate, a little-known ward from the country.

I finally attached my mouse to my laptop. (It was hiding under my bed, as they often do.) Now, finally, I am able to post the letter for the A-Z Challenge, which is as crazy, manic and yet (oddly) fun as I hoped it would be. Without further ado, I present for your reading pleasure: […]
My entry for the A-Z Challenge, for the letter G, a flash fiction story: Goddess Only Knows Long ago, in times past telling, five solitary flowers bloomed. Every year, devotees of the Sacred Goddess braved the heart of the Great Garden, coming to visit these blooms, to seek their wisdom. Each flower had its own […]
