A quick writing update seems in order. The good news: I’ve hit the 50k mark on Define Good! The, uh, other news? Yeah I’m still not convinced I’m halfway, and neither is my alpha reader (the person whose job it is to just cheer wildly as I complete each chapter, basically, so I have some […]
An actual new release this time, woohoo! Not that I have any less love for the Inklets that have already been released, but nevertheless, it’s always exciting to have a new book out in the world 🙂 This month, my Inklet is More Than Mushrooms, a contemporary family piece with a mystery element that’s part

My adorable niece had a birthday a while back and I had the fun of decorating the cake (extra fun because I didn’t even have to bake it first, woohoo!). This was a bit special because the bunnies on the cake are the bunnies from my sister’s cake when she turned three! So cute. Read

Kiddo the first is of the age when he has joined Pathfinders, our church’s answer to Scouts I guess. As part of this, he went through a couple of weekends ago and pulled out all the honours (patches) he’s interested in doing. Spoiler, there are 38 of them and it took us 2.5 hours to

I updated my Books I’ve Read page this week and was shocked to realise I didn’t read anything to completion in July, and baaarrreeelllyy read anything in August/September as well. Oy. I mean, I know I’m in recovery mode and my brain cells have been struggling, and focusing on something for longer than a chapter

This week’s Inklet is one I wrote for a course a couple of years ago, based on an article I read about the decline of the insect population. I’d been expecting to write in response to one of the other articles we’d been given, but as I sat down to write, the insect population one
