So, the kids and I got haircuts today–and I forgot to get a picture of Squish, but I have to tell you, she was adorable. ZoomBoy and I took selfies to, because I bobbed mine right below my ears. Looks… well, whatever. Looks like hair. I don’t have to brush it anymore, that’s the thing…. Read More

 So, super quick reminder tonight! The first thing is that I’ve released this story–which was previously in the Grand Adventures anthology–as a freebie on what is now Prolific Works. You can claim your copy here-– it’s a teeny tiny feel good vignette, so enjoy! Here’s the blurb! A Gentle Shove of Human Kindness by Amy Lane… Read More

YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!! So two things happened yesterday! One was J.P. Barnaby tagged me and said, “Is it too late for Kermit Flail?” And I went “I’m so sorry!!!!” And she said, “That’s okay– you can do it next month!” and I’m SO EXCITED that she’s writing again and we SHARE A RELEASE DATE that I thought….

Okay–so our winters here are usually pretty temperate–I admit that. But we do live within 45 minutes of the Sierra Nevadas, and the snow line. In fact, Foresthill, where Green’s Hill is fictionally located, is RIGHT ON the snow line. So, Squish had three games there this weekend, in all flavors of winter. There was… Read More

So, I’ll be honest. I gave up with the GIANT CHRISTMAS KNITTING QUEUE about six years ago. The people I love get knitwear when they ask for it, I’m always working on something and I’ll give it to them when I’m done. But as this Christmas approached I had… urges. Unholy, unhealthy, inescapable urges. I… Read More

Oh God the laundry… I can get to it… but my characters… but I’m writing. The kids are talking in the car and I don’t hear them. I’m writing. That e-mail is pretty important… that newsletter… that blog post… I’m writing. But shouldn’t you be planning dinner? Christmas? Oh my God, have you even thought… Read More

I got a long, sad hug from ZoomBoy today, and I kept it going as long as I could, until my shoulder went to sleep because boy has bones like razor blades. He fell down a music rabbit hole and ended up at “We Didn’t Start the Fire” by Billy Joel, looking up all of… Read More

Okay, so for starters I made turkey + gravy w/mashed potatoes for dinner, and set the turkey carcass to slow cook for soup tomorrow. *happy sigh* Boy, do I love leftovers. I also, I confess, have a thing for yarn leftovers. The red and white hat (which is NOT color true at all because the… Read More

*covers mouth* Scuse me. It’s been a long couple of days of eating. So, since you last saw Squish’s crown, the week has gone like this… Wednesday– clean kitchen. Cook for Thanksgiving. Thursday– start with the following conversation with Chicken on text: Chicken: So, you’re coming to get us so we can carpool to Aunt… Read More
