Okay–I”ll blog about it. I’ve been hit. A forum troll on amazon.com found my book pages and started posting false reviews–and, even worse (because the review was an obvious personal attack–and obviously fabricated!) started voting down all of the legitimate reviews for my books using different identities. Enough negative reviews, and those good reviews go… Read More

Well, there were many happy adventures in San Francisco, but the result was the same. Mama’s little Chicken is off and flying–as of last text message she was in L.A., and tomorrow (or Friday the 11th because of the whole dateline thing…) she’ll be in Australia. I’m actually pretty sanguine about it–but I did tear… Read More

The Cave Troll was unhappy. When the Cave Troll is unhappy, he does what many of us do–he blames the whole fucking miserable world for his unhappiness. “Mom…you lost my transformer!!!” “That’s right kid. I stole your transformer and lost it. I’m mean that way.” (Because sarcasm goes over well with the pre-school crowd, right?)… Read More

I was in the kitchen, writing, when the Cave Troll came running in all upset–“Mama, mama, SPIDERS. SPIDERS.” I trot into the living room, ready to vanquish an evil dust-bunny or a daddy-longlegs or something, but I can’t see what’s blowing his little mind. “Mate? Mate–do you see spiders?” “Oh yeah–they’re all over there–by your… Read More

For my family, that’s basically what it boils down to: Mom cooks (hamburgers & sausages on the grill) and we get to blow stuff up. And of course, there’s the movie marathon of summer blockbusters–Men in Black, ID4, Die Hard 4–I wish we were better people than that–picnics on the lake, that sort of thing,… Read More

If the picture loads, it’s going to be an example of what happens when your four year old goes scouring the house for something to occupy his time. And then tries to turn his sister into a mouse. Other than that–I spent yesterday being an absolute picture of a banana squash in motion. It wasn’t… Read More

So, are you wondering what else I’ve been doing besides writing? Well, there’s some of this… (That’s the kid sized blanket that Cave Troll decided made him a charity of one:-) A little of this… (And that would be one of the pairs of socks I’m working in–the yarn is Wool Quarters by Mountain Colors–I… Read More

Okay–I’m at the part of Bitter Moon where I’ll be sitting at my keyboard sobbing, someone will ask me if I’m okay and I look up, dazed, and nod, angry that I’ve been pulled away from the thing that ripped my heart out. Don’t ask. I’m not giving away spoilers. But the house is falling… Read More

And seriously–if there’s knitting there, it sounds better than heaven. For one thing, gauging from my few real sins, I think there’s sex in Limbo, and I’m pretty sure there’s chocolate! (Thanks, Donna Lee, for the quiz–you give me the best stuff to snarfle!!!) The Dante’s Inferno Test has sent you to the First Level… Read More

Yesterday was a day of dentist appointments. First, Big T had his first cleaning with a grown-up dentist–this is the guy who’s been my dentist from the time I was an adolescent until now, and who has treated my parents for 25 years too. When I told everybody that “this was Pete’s grandson” there was… Read More
