I’m a teacher, which means summer is a time for sleeping in, but also attending workshops and planning for fall.

I’m writing today because I want to keep my loyal readers updated on what’s going on as far as my work. My content editor has a copy of my latest novel, the first in a series of N...

Dreams

It’s been hard to write lately as I’ve been super busy with work and other projects. I finished another revision ofCult (upcoming) and a script for issue 3 of the Olympia Heights comic. I built a website for my mother-in-law and I’m helping build another website to commemorate the one year anniversary of the Charleston Shooting. TLDR:I’m busy. I hope to write more this summer.

But today I wanted to ramble a bit about dreams.I have a weird relationship with sleep. I love sleep, and I’m really...

I Need Your Help

This winter, my school is bringing in a speaker to talk to the kids about the holocaust.Every 8th grade English class will be teaching a holocaust novel to coincide with the unit. I would like to teach the 1986 graphic novel,Maus.

Warning: Con at a Con

Before I launch into this story, I want to thank Jeff Moore, convention security at CONjuration as well as Angela (Headsmistress of this spectacular convention) and the gentleman with the awesome Cthulhu shirt who loaned us his daughter to haul boxes. This experience I am about to describe in no way sours my opinion of this event as it was handled well. I will be back next year.

So let me tell you about the super upsetting and dishonest thing that happened to me in the final minutes of my CON...
