This website: Mantastic fiction has made Truth in the Dark their book of the week… if anyone who has read the book has a comment, that would be REALLY cool:-)

*phew* Well, the recital is over, and I for one am immensely relieved. Don’t get me wrong–the recitals are FUN–for one thing (and I’ve said this before) you get to see people’s children grow up performance by performance, and you feel just as proud for ‘that one kid who’s been around a while’ as you… Read More

Seriously– it was so weird. Only one errand to run, which I did while T was in karate, and most of the rest of the day was spent… writing. Knitting. Watching re-run television. *shudder* Oh bliss. I think the down time was good for everybody, too, because the short people were oddly relaxed today, and… Read More

Yeah. I’ve got another novella out. This one is special. This one is a story of Green’s Hill. And the artwork is beyootifuul. And between this one and Truth in Dark and Making Promises (due out next month) I am content that I have lived up to my writer’s promise this year. I have more–much… Read More

To rid myself of the whine flavor of the last blogpost, I will give you this continuation of the tan squid discussion that was held the other day: “Mom, I’m a tan squid and Squish is a pink octopurt, so what are you?” “I’m a beige marSOOpEEul!” “So you are a boring colored marSOOpEEul?” “No–… Read More

The Chicken, the Tan Squid, and the short Squishie one, who spent two weeks in dance recital rehearsal, and then all had a melt down and fell asleep? I did. I almost fell with them! I didn’t realize how far down the work/recital/errand rabbit hole I’d spiraled until I was sitting in the audience, watching… Read More

Okay, not really. I’m a woman who’s been married for 21 years and has had a hell of a day (errands w/T, errands w/Chicken, family picture, dinner & a movie– I’m not in it for the glamour, just the swollen ankles!) Anyway… I may wax rhapsodic about Mate and how 21 years feels like two,… Read More

Is now available in several e-book formats. And now, for the traditional prayer–everyone say it with me: Holy Goddess, Merciful God, LET IT NOT SUCK! Cannyagimmefuckinhallelujia? Athehellmen.

Zoomboy to Chicken, while comparing the merits of Squish’s STORE BOUGHT stuffed canine to Chicken’s HAND MADE stuffed canine: “My wiener dog is longer than YOUR wiener dog!” Excuse me while I double over with laughter in order to pick my brain out of the gutter.
