Confessions of a Zombie Hairstylist Revisited

A couple of weeks ago, I met with a new dermatologist and yesterday I had my follow-up appointment. After an examination of my scaly skin and biopsy, I have an answer to what’s happening. Finally, a diagnosis, what a relief. There is nothing worse than knowing something is wrong, but not knowing what it is […]

Wizard World Comic Con

Des Moines was on the Wizard World Comic Con tour and I was lucky enough to be invited to be on a panel. Wow, what an eye opening experience! Costumes, celebrities, awesome artwork, activities and people, so many people. Absolute and total sensory overload, in a good way. I’m glad I cut my teeth on […]

Confessions Of A Zombie Hairstylist

I’ve gotten a few concerned messages wondering where I’ve been lately. I’m here to confess that I have been hiding—avoiding might be a more appropriate word—from the world. There are a multitude of reasons, but they all stem back to one problem. My skin. No, it’s not a giant zit or newly developed wrinkles—I’m not […]

#UNAPOLOGETIC?

On my trip to New York last year, I spotted this on a digital sign and had to take a picture. Barbie has always been a favorite of mine. She was there through the good and bad times, never questioning, always listening. I wasn’t one of those kids who played with baby dolls, they […]

No Research Required

“Fiction is less expensive than non-fiction because there is no research required.” This is from a podcast I recently listened to and it really stuck in my craw. I listened to that bit four or five times to make sure I heard right. No research required for fiction? I can’t even fathom writing a story […]

Don’t Throw Away Those Applicators!

What’s the first thing you do when you get a new eyeshadow and it has one of those little sponge tipped applicators? Toss it in the trash, right? Well, stop it, those things serve a purpose. They’re not worthless. Unless, they’re cheaply made and feel like sandpaper on the skin. I give you full permission […]

Robots R Us

Tuesday night I had the honor of being a guest on the TBR podcast. I had a blast and managed to keep from talking over the hosts. No, seriously, I kept my mouth shut unless a question was posed. A total surprise to those of you who know me and my tendency to chatter without […]

What’s Goin’ On

I spent last Saturday in the lovely town of Clear Lake, Iowa. There was so much talent in one room, it was almost overwhelming. And readers, what a rush! A seemingly never-ending line out the door. Gotta love people who love books. BF Bookies, Micki, Lori and Rachel, and a lovely group of volunteers, did […]

Iowa Author Events

Last Saturday, I attended the Ankeny Author Fair. What a blast! Lots of people, lots of energy. Old friends and new reads stretched out before me and I got to meet some incredibly enthusiastic readers. If you want to see a recap in pictures, check out Malynda McCarrick’s post. Number one thing blurted out? You’re […]
