Hi Everyone! I hope you’re having a great May. It’s been surprisingly cool here. That has not prevented the pollen from being released in enormous quantities. I like to think it’s giving my voice a sexy, throaty quality. I suspect it’s actually just making me sound hoarse. I’ve got a jam-packed newsletter today, so I’ll […]

Hey Everyone! Yes! It’s true! I finished the first draft of The Singing Shore! As you can see, it was a gargantuan task. And there are many more gargantuan tasks left to do before it will be ready to go out into the world. I can’t even begin to guess at a release date at this point. […]

Hey Everyone! I hope you’re hanging in there with this crazy weather we’ve been having across a lot of the US. Especially if you’re in Texas.

Hello Everyone! I hope you’re staying safe and enjoying the holiday season. I have succumbed to my addiction to online gaming in a very minor way. You see, I got a Jacquie Lawson advent calendar. You might think that’s pretty safe, but noooooooo. If you’ve ever gotten one, you know that they’re fiendishly stuffed with […]

Hello all! I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend (if you’re in the US) and not going too crazy with Black Friday madness. I myself may have just bought a new computer (gulp!). My current one had a nasty crash during a storm earlier this month, and so I decided to bite the bullet […]

Happy November, everyone! I hope you are remaining cool and calm–or warm and calm, if the weather is already cold where you are–in this super-stressful period. I am trying to remain relaxed myself and focus on my writing. I’ve got writing-related snippets to share, but first I wanted to share a fun picture. I’ve been […]

Hello! I hope you are having as beautiful autumnal/vernal weather as I am right now. And now, having gotten that weather chit-chat out of the way, let me jump right into all the news I have. First of all, I’ve signed up for NaNoWriMo! I’ve never been able to do it before because it always […]
