That Time of the Year Is Here Again

This year definitely did not go according to plan. Although it got off to a good start, in mid-January it went off the proverbial rails when my mother fell midway between the kitchen and the dining-room table. Fortunately, I was right there having one of my regular dinners with my parents. . . . → Read More: That Time of the Year Is Here Again

So What’s New? (catharsis edition)

I don’t like to start a story when I don’t know how it’s going to end. That could be the writer in me, but it’s also the wariness of an inner self that doesn’t quite accept the randomness, non-interconnectedness of ordinary life. Although I was never good at keeping this blog updated, I . . . → Read More: So What’s New? (catharsis edition)

It’s that time again….

 

Christmas 2013

Wow…that went quick. Time flies by so fast these days; I must be getting old.

Wait…I am getting old! This year was the big six-five. I’m on Medicare now. Honestly, I hadn’t looked forward to a birthday so much since I first hit double digits. After . . . → Read More: It’s that time again….

On a very good day, The Plan survives and I go to . . . → Read More: At Least It’s Never Dull Around Here

Turns out that you *can* go home again

And that’s what I did over the Memorial Day weekend.

(A brief pause while I take a look outside…. No, everything seems intact; an unexpected outbreak of blogging here has not caused a rupture in the space/time continuum.)

Since I had such a wonderful time in Boston over the 2012 Memorial Day weekend . . . → Read More: Turns out that you *can* go home again

The season between summer and autumn

Okay…one could argue that we don’t really have seasons around here.  One could argue—and I frequently have—that we have three flavors of summer: Summer’s Coming, Summer’s HERE, and OMG, it’s STILL Summer!  Then, in January, the outside temperature drops into the sixties, I open the windows, and pretend that I’m back in Michigan . . . → Read More: The season between summer and autumn

I’m sharing a birthday

Once I got past the “how many kids can I invite to my birthday party” stage of life, my birthday turned into a customized New Year’s Day: a when I look back and when I, sometimes, make resolutions (like I really should resurrect my blog). This year’s birthday feels special because it has . . . → Read More: I’m sharing a birthday

Orion’s Children have arrived at Closed Circle!

I swore that there’d be no blogging until I a) got my Orion’s Children series ready for publication at Closed Circle and B) Finished the next (seemingly endless) section of Seeking North.  I’m halfway there…

It’s taken far longer than I thought it would (The surprise isn’t that every ebook has display problems, . . . → Read More: Orion’s Children have arrived at Closed Circle!

Thieves' World hits the Big Time…

Jeopardy ran one of its College Tournaments last week and the $800 question on the Valentine's Day show was….

Medicinal-sounding last name of Robert Lynn, whose fantasy works include "Thieves' World" & "Myth Adventures" …

and the answer was (of course)
