December 7 question – It’s holiday time! Are the holidays a time to catch up or fall behind on writer goals? Happy December and Happy IWSG Day! This past year has been a pretty crazy one for me. Back to full-time, in person at my library job and back to trying to figure out what […]
“It’s funny when grown adults act like spoiled children,” you once said. “It becomes not funny when they have guns.” I laughed and said, “True.” We were talking about the invasion of some faraway land. The situation had nothing to do with us. Now, I hear ignorant people calling you antifa, saying you had it […]
I can’t believe it’s October already, not to mention yet another IWSG Day! October 5 question – What do you consider the best characteristics of your favorite genre? I’m an unabashed fantasy fan, and I’m currently reading a couple of really great takes on the genre: Stephen King’s Fairy Tale, and Golden Enclaves by Naomi […]
Here is my September post for the Insecure Writer’s Support Group. In a bit of a slump at the moment but I know that will turn around in due time…. I’ve really been neglecting my blog lately due to getting really busy the past few months. My writing has suffered as a result. A lot […]
July 6 question – If you could live in any book world, which one would you choose? I just finished a book called Legends & Lattes, this heartwarming found-family book that got me – bam – right in the heartstrings. Man, I would love to live in that world. Sure, the MC has some issues […]

We knew it might come to this, the two of us in a dark alley facing off with two guys who have herded us here. “Freaking reaver lovers,” the one guy says to us. I’m calling him pimple face, because – pimples. “Do it,” Vielle says back to me. We’ve been best friends for our […]
I still believe in miracles, you said, your final words to me on my death bed. Now that I’ve joined the great cloud of witnesses, now that I’m watching you from heaven, I wish you will. You can’t have rainbows without rain, but storms pass. This too shall pass, my love. At the end of […]
It’s not easy being fabulous. Let me tell you something. Have you ever tried to walk – let alone dance like this – in six inch heels? I’ll tell you what. If you had to dance in heels, one minute for every time someone has dared to judge me, yeah – I’d like to see […]
I put my phone down slowly, at the same time you get home, just in time to watch me staring at the wall in shock and horror. “You called them, didn’t you?” You shake your head, close the door, set your keys down in the bowl on the counter and proceed to quickly put away […]
