So I blog four nights a week, most weeks.

I think of it as a professional thing, and I like sharing, and I love telling stories, so it's not really a hardship.

Tonight, as I was sitting down to blog (which is usually the start to the bulk of my work day and the time the kids go to bed) the kids sta... Read more of this blog post »

For the past year, my daughter’s been systematically “downsizing.” What does that mean to her? She’s been “decluttering” rooms and tossing or giving away things she doesn’t actually use. She’s gone on a closet-cleaning craze where she places everything on hangers—backwards—and if she hasn’t turne...

Bruce Metzger, my mentor in graduate school, for both my Master’s degree and my PhD, has been invoked a number of times in recent comments on the blog.  I thought it might be interesting to repost a few reminiscences I made about my work with him.  These come from posts that appeared six years ag...

Have you ever felt like curling into a ball and hiding in the corner because life’s just run you down? Have you reached for a book instead of giving in to that urge because you know a story will take you away to a mystical place where life delivers rainbows and love, heartache and happiness, and...

The Brass Verdict is, I think, one of Michael Connelly's best books, and it reinforces the notion that in this genre, virtually nobody does it better. It's Connelly's eighteenth book and is significant because it is the first to feature both his long-time L.A. homicide detective, Harry Bosch, an... Read more of this blog post »

Rod Dreher, a voice adored by some conservatives and despised by some progressives, always speaks his mind with utterly clear prose. You don’t have to be a conservative to feel the blunt end of this bad-boy description: Looking back on it, it was not sexual abuse by priests that caused me to lose... Read more of this blog post »

Feeling semi-randomly angry and pointless today (as in, what is the overall point of trying to express myself, except to myself and via my own poetry - and what is the overall point of THAT expression?) - so I thought I would try to lift my spirits a bit by posting this photo of a recent fortune...

Going over the program schedule, I see that I'm down for a reading Friday 6:30-7:00 in 211A.  This item isn't listed anywhere else and I wasn't told about it, so I'm not sure how legit it is.  Just in case, I'm packing a excerpt from the next novel, By Demons Possessed.

I have one more scene to write, the “whew, we made it, and now we’ll live happily ever after” wrap-up, before I’m done with this book. Well, this draft of this book. I already know the last few chapters will need revision because I was mostly just getting stuff out there, and now it will need fin...

I fund my Periscopes and podcasts via audience micro-donations on Patreon. I prefer this method over accepting advertisements or working for a “boss” somewhere because it keeps my voice independent. No one owns me, and that i...

"Are you unharmed?" asked Kraven as we appeared near his exotic silver-colored car that was parked outside of the mansion grounds. He released me from his grasp and I exhaled a deep breath.
"Yes," I said. "Now tell me what the fuck do you want in exchange."
Kraven laughed. "You're welcome Annis. An... Read more of this blog post »

Fairytales Slashed Volume 1 by Megan Derr

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I just finished this and I've still got that starry eyed, warmly smiling sort of fuzzy feeling that a good, romantic tale with a happy ending leaves you with. I enjoyed every story in this, though I'm incredibly fond of everything I... Read more of this blog post »

Hello Loves!

Do you know when to let someone or something go? I certainly didn't at one point in my life. I used to maintain certain things and keep certain people around just because I didn't want to feel like a loser/like I've lost. I've learned that it's okay, actually in most cased, best to le...
