MFTS: The Last Trumpet(?)

My second entry for Monday’s Finish the Story – sorry so long between entries but life and blogging and then life again has been a tad crazy. **** The crew of the Angel Flame received orders to head out. Now, at last, was the moment when God would come to deliver them all. The world […]

RIP D.J.

Okay this is me being incredibly silly but … our 2 year old black and white cat, D.J. aka Diane Junior was put to sleep on Monday after a months-long battle with … the vets still aren’t sure what. And I am sad. But the days are gorgeous and spring is giving way to summer […]

I made it!

This will be a quick note, to say that – yes, I made it through doing two crazy things this month: Yes, I actually went 10,000 words over my personal goal, finishing with 80,000+ words – and I’m still writing. Also, I mostly finished edits on Summer Fire. Okay, I fell pretty far behind on […]

Z is for Zero Sum Game

My last post for the A-Z Challenge! It’s been real. 🙂 Eventually, I am going to have to get caught up on reading all the other posts. And sincere apologies for that. I’ve been struggling, especially toward the end, to try to be able to read – and really read and not just sort of […]

You

My very last cross-post for Friday Fictioneers and A-Z Challenge. I’m feeling a little mixed-feeling-ish. This photo reminded me a little of Baltimore, MD, where I was visiting last Friday.

V is for Victory

After hours which felt like days, after the long struggle, panting, Joey reached into the cookie jar at about the same time that the stool on top of the chair toppled over. He fell to the ground with a series of loud crashes, slightly bruised on his knee, but – he held it, his prize, […]

T is for The Cross

For today’s A-Z Challenge post, I’ve decided to write something a little different. Possible trigger warning due to non-graphic reference to a violent act. The Cross I nearly died. Only 13 years old, you left me for dead by the railroad tracks, where no one could hear my screams. How could you know I would […]
