I admired their diligence
And how hard they trained
Success is ninety nine percent mental
The other one percent physical

All those tight outfits
Hugging fit bodies

Last month I had great fun being interviewed by the However Improbable Podcast gals Marisa and Sarah about My Dearest Holmes. We did the interview via Zoom (negotiating time zones), and it was great fun to revisit those heady days of the late 1980s when Charlie Raven and I first discovered Sherlock Read more of this blog post »

Did you know that some people love spoilers? Which camp do you belong to? Does knowing the climax or plot twists in advance make reading a book more or less enjoyable for you?

The subject of spoilers surfaced for me this week as I participated in a book tour of Court of the Grandchildren run by Blac

The only important question is- What is your word worth?

When I was younger, I suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Not until my 30s did I finally experience “normal” existence. For me, several months after beginning medication, I began to live life without having to count ("5" was my magic number) and touch away my worries and anxiety-provoking t

I am the placid water in the lake
quiet, calm, still, and tranquil
I admire the beauty of the moonlight
carefully gazing upon the earth

I am the soft wind that blows perfectly
upon the meadows,
where birds could hover freely watching
butterflies transfer pollen grai

From what I can tell about Vassa in the Night, it is not a commonly read or popular book for the most part. On amazon, it looks like the price (for the hardcover no less) has dropped in price dramatically, seemingly in order to sell more copies. The book is, at best, #178 in Teen & Young Adult Magic

I am constantly writing poetry. Lines here, snippets there. I remember writing poetry as a teenager. My parents would shake their heads, wondering where on earth the poetic interest came from because they didn't read poetry.
