Goodreads Authors

Hi all,
last week I was lucky enough to be interviewed by BBC Radio regarding my books and the imminent Hollywood TV adaptation of them.

I liked this issue a lot more when it dealt with how you pee. That was so much simpler. Regardless of how I feel about the state of our country, I stand. On September 17th, 1997, I took an oath to my country and my flag to honor, love, respect, and protect it. Even though my time in the Army has... Read more of this blog post »

I lost my heart on 99th street.
She’s in a gray house,
walking through it over and over.

I don’t live there anymore.
One apartment and two houses later,
I moved on, but she didn’t.

My heart keeps opening
the front door, then closing it
right back up again.

Like that’s going to do anything.

I’m driving past... Read more of this blog post »

I’m not what you’d call a sports fan.  I haven’t followed football since Jim McMahon left the Chicago Bears (I loved that he was such an iconoclast), so that should tell you something.

All over my Facebook feed for the past few days, people (all of them white) have been talking about how professio...

On Saturday I spoke to the SINC (Sister in Crime) chapter to which I belong: the Mavens of Mayhem. SINC was started by Sara Paretsky in the 1980's to support women writers. At that time, women writers were hardly ever reviewed. (Many sources I see in the Library are still like this. Book page mys... Read more of this blog post »

“The Cross is the ultimate symbol of the rejected, the forsaken, the cursed, and the despised, yet at the cross God is most present. At the cross we see our rejection of God, our violence, and our disorientating sinfulness crucified so that God can woo us back to himself, vowing to...

I thought I would continue with my story about growing up and getting into writing.

My dissatisfied and frustrated life changed once I got my first guitar at the age of 13. I fell in love with the second-hand acoustic instrument from the off. Whereas others were learning the hits, I was most inte...

For those of us that have attended group Yoga classes, we are fully aware of the physical and mental benefits we walk away with. We know there are a ton of great things it can do for our body. But today I would like to talk a little bit about Yoga for the gut.

又是一個旅行的終結，大家覺得有點可惜，時間過得那麼快。

「參加農曆新年那一團，又是一個新的開始。」我又厚著臉皮，乘機宣傳。

臨走前遊函館朝市，這是全日本最大的晨早市場之一，各種海鮮，應有盡有。

走過亞拉斯加螃蟹檔，小販們把整隻大蟹活生生地煮熟了，拿把剪刀剪開螃蟹腳，要我們免費試吃。這幾天我已吃得生厭，但小販說在電視上看過我，高帽拚命戴。也好，吃牠一口。啊！原來那麼甜，現煮現吃，才有這種味道。大家都試了，結果一人買了一大隻，四公斤重，要賣八百塊港幣。

煮過很多隻螃蟹之後，鍋中的湯也拿出來賣，加了一點麵豉，每碗湯中還有幾大塊螃蟹肉，三百円一碗。

再走過幾檔，看見燒海膽，一個個海膽剝開，裏面的膏分八瓣，...

Happy Monday! It’s been awhile since our last Coffee & Chat. Over the summer I got caught up in writing and the work that accompanies writing. Writing is more than just sitting on a window seat waiting for inspiration to strike.

It looks like the fall flavors are here!

“Pause, breathe, repair your universe, proceed.” ~Anonymous

Yesterday I had a moment when I felt overwhelmed. My new job has a lot of systems, passwords, procedures, opportunities, possibilities, and many people in many places. This is the vertical learning curve I was looking for.

On my way home,...

The Snowy Kailash looked gloomy once more

As Goddess Awakened for her weeklong chore,

Shiva plunges in sadness

Her Parameshwari ready on the floor.

Oh Mukteshwari, How lucky you are!

Her tresses sway,

Her lotus eyes sparkle

At her beloved’s call

She turns midway.

Oh Shivapyari, How luck...

I believe any good mother will make the ultimate sacrifice for her children. We give of ourselves every single day. As single, divorced mothers, we work hard to provide for our children. We pay for what they need and sometimes want because we only want to see them happy. When they are hurting, we... Read more of this blog post »

Writing Process by Janice Jones
I don’t know if I have a true ‘process’. I started out handwriting everything because I couldn’t afford a laptop. When I finally got one, my parents bought it for me (thanks, Mom and Dad).

So it’s that time of year once again. General Conference. Where we can sit in our own house and listen to the church leaders speak to us while we snack and scroll through social media on our phones.
