Sparkly Happy Dust

on July 22, 2018

Okay– so we’ve been driving for six hours and I’m waiting for Uber Eats and I’m exhausted. I’m in a hotel room with the fam in the shitty side of Salt Lake City, and I’m trying to put my week into words and… Can’t do it. Can’t brain words. What I’m going to do is… Read More


From Moab to Denver…

on July 17, 2018

Yeah– there’s quite a change of topography. So, I’ve arrived at RWA and started to say hi to my sisterhood– I do miss authors– they tell such wonderful stories! Anyway–SO tired. And tomorrow is a big day, so mostly I’m just going to inundate you with pictures and run away. But I do have a… Read More

Okay– so I’m on a road trip to RWA AND I’ve got a book out! Whew! You’ll get pictures of Moab tomorrow (maybe!) but in the meantime, hey, there’s this book! That I really love! And it’s out tomorrow! WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!! So I’m just going to drop this here and go to bed, because hey– lots… Read More


Road Tripping

on July 16, 2018

So, about six weeks ago I said, “I need to get my plane ticket to RWA.” Mate said, “Where is it?” I said, “Denver.” He said, “Let’s drive!” I said, “Uh… okay. All of us?” He said, “Yeah! Kids will love it!” So, uh–we’re driving to Denver. And at first I was like “Does he… Read More


Political Post–the movie you will never see

on July 13, 2018

This was just a passing thought, so bear with me. There will never be a serious movie about Donald Trump the hero. Now, given how much we hate him, you all might be saying, “Duh!” but bear with me. One of the notable things about Shakespeare’s Macbeth is that the minute Macbeth dedicates himself to… Read More


Why I need more yarn…

on July 13, 2018

Okay, so I don’t need more yarn.  That’s a total and complete lie. I’ve been packing my knitting for the trip. Now, about three weeks ago I agreed with myself that, really, I only needed a couple of balls of sock yarn to work on as socks, and a couple of balls of sock yarn… Read More

Scuse me, I gotta write a sex scene… right after I drop this cover :-)

on July 11, 2018

No, seriously. So– busy, because trying to make a deadline before we leave for Denver. Mate is out of town, and today was… well weird. Seriously, if I’d known my dentist was going to bail, I would have planned something different for my morning. As it was, I was all cattywampus in my scheduling and… Read More


Grown-Up Stories

on July 10, 2018

So, on Twitter the other day, someone asked us tell the most On Brand (TM) story from their childhood years. Mine was about being a latchkey kid. I would come home, gather my stuffed animals into a semi-circle, and tell them a story, then quiz them about the parts in the middle. And you can… Read More


Out on Amazon!

on July 9, 2018

Okay– some of you are actually GETTING MY NEWSLETTER. I’m thrilled–but still puzzled as to why other people aren’t. I have professionals working on it, and they can’t answer that either, so I’m just going to assume that some computers think that Constant Contact, my e-mail server, has the plague. However–there are SOME things I… Read More
