A friend of mine asked this question this week. I’ve asked this question this week. Probably, some of you have too, so I decided I wanted to answer it here, where it might be useful to anyone who stumbles across it. I’m also in weird-vibes land because I just watched a return-to-work video by a […]

Apparently it’s the week for sharing random YouTube videos, and we’re just leaning into that. (As much as I logically love the idea of a weekly structure around here, a la Made-It Mondays, let’s be honest: the rest of my brain vastly prefers random spontaneity [why did I have to spell that three times] and

I woke up with The Sads this morning. This is probably to have been expected: I was migrainey last week (though at least only the silent variety), and had more migraine taste in my mouth overnight; I’m overtired/overstimulated to the point where I developed an eye twitch on Sunday night, something I don’t remember having

Doing my weekly journalling and I’m starting May this week. Loving this quote from Hilary Collier Rushford: As a stylist, I teach about the chicness of breathing room. A collar left open, a cuff rolled up. We see it in a home that isn’t overly crowded with stuff, has room to easily relax on the

Like, yes, this is relative, and some writers I know can write an excellent short story in a day – in fact, my collection April Showers, which contains some of my favourite ever short stories, was drafted in ten days IIRC, so I can definitely write a short story in two days. But. I’ve decided

I’ve managed to snatch enough energy today to do a smidgen of publishing work (after spending all morning in bed, ha), and I am very excited to have gotten Life Had Other Plans fully uploaded to the printer, which means I can order a physical proof copy in about a week, yay! For expediency’s sake,

So I made a commitment to keep blogging the other month, and then my website promptly died on me >.< Usually when it does, it either revives within about half an hour, or else it’s something I can poke around and fix. This time, it was neither. Boo. So it took a few weeks for

It’s release day! I’m over the moon to announce that Mint Grows Even In The Dark is officially out in the world. Claire’s story is one of bravery, belief, and doing what needs to be done—and I hope it resonates with you as much as it does with me. Blurb: Claire knows where to find

I think I’ve mentioned here briefly before that I finally have a name for my cohesive, overarching storyverse, to which perhaps 75% of my stories, both published and planned, belong. It’s The Veiled Worlds, a reference to the fact that the fey live in The Realms, a world veiled from ours, and ours veiled from

I literally spent all morning (well, a couple of hours, anyway) Doing Other Things. I read for a while (finished The Two Towers, on to The Return Of The King). I looked up a bunch of LOTR-related terms, characters, trivia (‘kine’ is cows, y’all!). I read some of the appendices for lols and funsies. I
