Silver Rule

This makes me sad and furious at once. I’m torn between the idea that America has gone mad, or the idea that it was always mad and now the internet means we can see it. It makes me worried for my own Little Prince–his father is Japanese; when will someone decide he has the “wrong” […]

Probably Safest

I actually saw my breath in a few places during my morning run. It’s official, autumn is here. Some of the trees have dropped all their leaves–the 90F days stressed them, and the sudden drop in overnight temperatures probably sent them into fits of the screaming meemies. It even smells like fall, the leaves dry […]

Cooling Nights

The hop vine has died back–the nights are becoming too cool for it, I think. I didn’t get the corn into the ground early enough, so unless we have quite a bit more heat and sun there won’t be sweet corn this year. Well, growing maize in the Pacific Northwest is always a crapshoot. It […]

She-Wolf and…Batman?

The final episode of SHE-WOLF AND CUB is up! You can begin at the prologue and read all the way through. Zombies, cyborg assassins, and Westerns all rolled into one, with a bonus twist. Heh. I love taking the conventions of Westerns and twisting them ever-so-gently. I had a TREMENDOUS amount of fun with that […]

Introducing Madame A

Some friends of ours were moving, and concerned for a stray in their backyard. Loving, sweet, and rail-thin, she desperately needed a home. The shelters, full to bursting, couldn’t take her. Which is how we ended up with Madame A. She joins the Mad Tortie and Fearless!Cat in our feline crowd, and she is a […]

Back to School

Yes, the Prince and Princess are back in the halls of education. It’s the Princess’s senior year, which fills me with wonder and terror at once. My baby, in her last year of public schooling. About to attend college, for God’s sake. So it is now the quiet half of the year. Quiet doesn’t mean […]

AGENT ZERO Release

It’s here! Viral super-spies and secret government programs! That’s right, my dears, Agent Zero is now available! An agent risks everything for a love he shouldn’t feel… After barely surviving an IED while serving his country, Reese was whisked away by a shadowy government agency and somehow…enhanced. Now he’s an agent—smarter, faster, stronger, deadlier—and he […]

Underwear Painting Gnomes

Three walls in the living room used to be an awful goldenrod colour. It wasn’t precisely bad, but the more I saw it, the more irritated I got. The goldenrod was repeated in my room, the loos, and the kitchen/dining room. Other than the accent walls (dark green in the living room, a matte red […]

Poultry Jail

No, I do not have a poultry jail under my deck. I have a friend who has a poultry jail under hers. And said poultry eye me very mistrustfully. I didn’t do anything, I swear. Except stupidly focus on the bars instead of the inmates. *headdesk*

Singular Shenanigan

It is now apparent that I am not coming down with a post-zero-draft cold, I am simply producing mucus because there’s a change in the weather. It’s about to start raining again–at least, the weekend is supposed to be very damp, and I can’t wait. Hopefully that will make the wildfires easier to manage, and […]
