It’s inevitable, isn’t it? After what amounted to eleven days of travel (and I counted the two days I spent at home in the middle, packing and doing laundry and getting ready to leave again) the first day back would be a zombie day. I napped, I edited, I picked the kids up from school,… Read More

Okay– in no particular order! 1.  Tonight I got to eat tasty cow.  It was a priority.  Trust me. 2.  Tom Webb really is as sweet as he seems online.  His Southern accent charms me to my socks.  I love him.  That is all. 3.  Andrew Grey is ALWAYS sweet.  I love him and I… Read More

Chicken will never forgive me for this picture.Her teeth are whiter than this–the light justSUCKED!  But she bought one of thosebunny clip things for her, and one for Squish. So when I was at yaoi-con this year, someone (who has no children or spouse) said, trying to make a joke, “So, why aren’t you going… Read More

Quick post from Yaoi-Con– having an AMAZING time!  (All my pictures are crap– it’s inside, no natural light!  Sorry!) I am here with my favorite peeps– my daughter, my bestest bestie ever, and really really happy people who like yaoi and m/m romance and who enjoy talking shop and saying, “OMG, they’re SUCH a cute… Read More

Okay, so months ago I decided that I was going to go both to Yaoi-Con– which is this weekend– and to GRL, which starts in a week.  Yeah, yeah, months ago, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I’d deal, right? Yeah.  You want to know what my head looks like right now?  You know… Read More

Apologies for this one–it’s going to be Autumn tinted melancholy, and I cannot seem to change it. So my grandmother is in the hospital today, and although it looks like she’ll pull through this time, the fact is, the woman is in her nineties, and pretty much, she’s not going to go home again unless… Read More

And it is once again time to play “what’s whacked in Amy’s brain!”  Today’s version is brought to you via letters I’ve composed but have never sent.  Please, if anybody sees themselves in the the intended recipient, feel free to respond! Dear blue-haired old gal who just swerved right, left, and right before finally settling… Read More

Is out tomorrow! !  Which is awesome, because the tension is killing me! Seriously– I had so much fun writing Dex!  Maybe it was because Sidecar made me flashback to my youth (and therefore feel old) and Mourning Heaven was just so emotionally raw, but Dex?  Dex made me remember being young again, and fucking… Read More

Okay.  I drove.  It sucked.  I’m serious. I dropped Chicken off in San Diego– we arrived Monday night, and I was reminded of the sleeping habits of the young.  We got into the hotel room and I set everything down and put on my nightgown and brushed my teeth and my hair and set up… Read More

When Chicken was five years old, we had a choice to put her on a bus and send her to public school or walk her across the street to a Christian private school.  The private school wasn’t great–most of their teachers were barely educated, and they thought Harry Potter taught witchcraft.  But we chose to… Read More
