As I mentioned on Monday, I’m on vacation this week. I’m down in Florida visiting family, a trip I make a couple of times a year, sometimes more. I usually stay for about ten days. The record is fourteen, I think, and that seems to be the tipping point at which I run screaming for…

Twitter Troll Got Owned
Okay, Okay, it wasn’t really trolling. I was “momming (her) tweets”. Tues, July 26. Verizon Msg: You have used all the data in your 30GB plan (cycle ends the 28th) etc etc. Wed, July 27. Verizon Msg: You’ve used nearly 1GB more than the 30GB of data in your plan (cycle ends the 28th). Overage…
Good Neighbors, or The Continuing Perils of Pauline
Once again, I come here to tell you about how I got myself into trouble. I’ve mentioned before how wee Fergus and I live alone, in a fairly remote place surrounded by woods. Woods occupied by wildlife some of which is big or at least can run faster than I can. I know I need…
Travels with George Redux
I’m on vacation for the next week and a half. My favorite traveling companions, George and Pocket Jamie, and I are in Florida – because it’s just not hot enough in Boston *insert eyeroll*. (Actually the real reason is so that my brother and I can belatedly celebrate my mother’s 75th birthday.) In any case,…
Excerpt from “Eden’s Fall”
Collaboration. It’s a word we use a fair amount around here and I’m here this morning to prove it. Saturdays, K. R. Brorman, S. A. Young and I take turns writing about our collaboration on a series of three (so far) contemporary romantic suspense novels1. K. R. Brorman is the lead author of the first…
Fangurl Trifecta!!!
Did you hear the Skweeees?!?!?! Just a wee 6 hour road trip (each way) to Ardemore, Oklahoma. Met up with a bestie, Holly and her boys for a fun night. Headed home this morning still singing! The night started with an AWESOME performance from The Aaron Hendra Project – Give them a Google! Aaron Hendra…
The Taste of Summer
This is going to be a hodgepodge I’m afraid. Instead of my usual Thursday morning Activeweah, I am wearing my honey-making clothes today. That is, stuff that absorbs sweat efficiently and goes straight into the washing machine. Shoes included. This might be my last honey production operation — I’m down to one hive, and keep…
Bad Kitty
Happy Monday all! And how was your weekend? I spent part of mine with a demon. You see, a friend asked me if I would do him a solid and mind his cat for him this weekend. Now, since it was Thursday evening when this request was made and he was leaving the following morning,…
Stay – Part 3/4
Catch up with Stay – Part 1 & Part 2. Michael stretched, his shoulders and back crackling with morning relief. He squinted to block the sun streaming through shutters he rarely opened, and snaked his hands under the sheet, searching for her warm body. His deep disappointment at the empty bed confused him. He…
Well This was a Goat F*&k of a Week
The pool of topics for today, as suggested by family and friends, is pretty darn funny and varied. Hint – I’m not writing about any of it. Living with your child after their first year away at college “Two pigs fighting under a blanket” Things you can’t unsee at high school graduations – “I wouldn’t…
