{The Black-Eyed Kids} 1. The Emancipation of Adora Alexander Hawthorne
<– Prologue SHE WAS TERRIFIED. I could feel it. Her fear floated from her body to mine, and when it reached me, it enveloped me with the softest glow of euphoria. Smiling with triumph, I took another step closer. The woman’s despair grew, and I watched with pleasure as she flailed…her eyes growing wide with […]

Meet Me Halfway…Across The Sky…Where There’s a New Book Pre-Order For Only You & I…
A long time ago, this used to be a thing: …Dear reader, how do I explain this without trying to sound like the girl who gets super drunk and does really stupid stuff but then tries to make it sound like she “hardly ever does that” and “it’s so funny because that never happens”… Here’s […]

{The Black-Eyed Kids} Prologue
They surrounded us. Their corp slowly fanned out in the darkness, hiding in the depths of the dark night. I could tell because I could feel them. That same dull, familiar ache at the top of my head as my eyes and mind grew more and more drowsy…the sheer effort of staying awake was almost […]

Forever Home.
I’ve never really had the sense of “I’m home” before. Every place has always felt like a stopover on the way to someplace else…even Minneapolis. I made it a home, but that first year, that felt more like a decision than anything: We can’t be where we were before, and this is where we are […]

Turning on the heart light.
Thursday night, while still up at 2:15 a.m. doing not-work, I came across this blog post, which made me think about a text convo I had had earlier that day with a beloved friend about another friend whose vulnerability we both miss. And her genuine friendship, too, if we’re honest…it’s weird how you can be […]

A Lil’ (kind of? maybe not really? who knows!) Story About The Black-Eyed Kids
If you’ve been reading this blog for any substantial length of time, then you already know that I’ve always experienced strange ghost-y haps, even when I was a Super Christian and adamant that paranormal stuff didn’t exist (because apparently The Holy Ghost doesn’t like competition? It’s weird that we try to explain away the unexplainable […]
