Building a Bug Out Bag for Your Dog

Note: This is an updated version of this older post on disaster prepping for pets. I’m reexamining my own dog bug out bags (picked up a new dog back pack on clearance, and a good quality one too.) and figured it was time to reexamine the subject here too. I think it’s really important to […]

A snippet from the WIP

From my work in progress, Gone to the Dogs Jax jogged restlessly through the pines, cedars, and naked oaks of the “tame woods”. It was technically on the human side of their territory.

Spring Cleaning on the old Homestead

So, this place has gotten rather dusty lately. Mostly I just feel that the world doesn’t have a huge need for my opinions on things. Like writing. So let’s talk fun stuff.

The last two years I’ve done Career Day presentations at a local elementary school. I adore kids. I don’t […]

Wild Heart Preview

**Coming Very Soon     The woods smelled perfect, like rain and rich, moist soil, and faintly, underneath the evergreens, like strange werewolf. Michael’s lip curled up in a smile. Two months ago a pack war erupted over the fifty-odd square miles of prime territory where Michael had lived his whole life. Many people, even […]

Teen Titans volume 2: Family Lost by Geoff Johns

With the Titans newly reformed despite the adult heroes’ disapproval the team begins to act less as punishers of evil and more like a support system for a bunch of kids abandoned—or worse—by their parents. If they even have them. The Titans get a mysterious phone call that Rose, the cast off daughter of the […]
