It’s Friday and I told Lexa Cain, the upbeat blog hop’s fearless leader, I was definitely going to post something today. Also I can always use the pick-me-up, especially on days like today when I’m feeling a smidge overwhelmed. Here’s a few of the things I’m celebrating. Getting every post done so far on the […]
Hidden away in the crooked coast of what is now known as British Columbia, where winter cold bites the air and sun sparkles on icy waters, many years ago did the great god Thor rest his hammer and his head. Little did he know that black Hecate watched and waited for his slumber. Stealing […]
Entryway 5000 people a year. Every spring a crowd would gather on the muddy cobblestone street where the pale gray door sat waiting to open. Some brought whole families, and some brought hope. For exactly 5000 people a year, the door would creak silently open and they, and only they, could see it happen. No […]
I thought of another story you should probably hear, but warning it is kind of gross at the end. You remember little Ryan, poor child, lost both parents within one week. Some say his family was haunted or cursed, his mother dead in that dreadful fire and his father – well, who knows. You were […]

Well, here is February. Like many people in my local area, I’m a bit cabin-feverish. I’ve managed to dig out my driveway, cutting a path through the snow drifts, but the roads are scary, reduced to 1 1/2 lanes at unexpected, brake-hitting moments. I find myself only going out when absolutely necessary. I have had […]
Happy IWSG Day and Happy 2016! As I write those words I can hardly believe them. When did 2016 happen? Where did 2015 go? As I look back on the past year and forward to the year to come I see lessons learned, writing done, so much more to do. How was your year? Any […]
