Upcoming Event(s)

…because you KNOW I don’t do these things for myself as an author or even publisher (yet). *gasp* An actual honest-to-goodness author event? Yes, my darling minions…..well, it’s called Phoenix Comicon and it is the first weekend in June. Feel free to bring forth birthday tidings, and if they are of the food variety, let’s […]

Taking A Break

…because I’ve got nothing for you today. We’ve been busy the past week. Like, phones ringing off the damn hooks crazy busy. Like, I don’t have time to write a My Geekdom post for today freakin’ busy. Like, I’m typing this right now during a rare lull in calls insanely busy and I’m hoping I […]

Quittin’ Time

…also known as ‘Jinxie is about to kill someone’ time. I quit smoking on April 8, 2014. Why a Tuesday? Never start/stop something on a Monday. That day is bad enough as is. Anyway, it’s been a couple of days upon writing this, but it’ll be a week once this posts. I’m trying to be […]

I’m Already Here

…so I can just change my contract, right? Friday, April 4th, I had an impromptu interview with the Director of my ginormous department because I had applied to have my contract changed to the full year one. Right now, I’m on the same schedule as the students, and that’d be great to have summers off […]

Sneak Peek: ASSASSIN, Take 3

[photo] The next night is Girls’ Night Out, and boy do I ever need it. Killian’s not happy that I’m running off with the girls, but he gets it. Sometimes, you just need a night out with your friends. Once the last gal—Lillian—climbs into our rented limo, we’re off, and I sigh heavily because my […]

April Fool’s

…happens to the best of us. One of the tech guys decided to post this sign on Monday… …and people laughed and laughed when they saw it. I did, but then, he’d pointed it out to me because I SIT IN THE FRONT now. Yes, I’m still bitching about that. ANYWAY, yesterday, which was perfect […]

Skip a Starbucks Day!

…and yes, we’re doing this again because it’s a great cause! In November 2010, friend and author CJ Redwine and her husband Clint adopted a beautiful little bundle of joy into their family, and I was happy to participate in their “Skip a Starbucks Day” event then. I held a contest and gave away prizes, […]

Hey Chickadee

…oh you’re gonna love this cuteness. First thing Monday morning, my ex-neighbor co-worker (I’ve been moved to the front) informed me that she’d bought a chicken coup over the weekend so she can have fresh eggs. Of course, it’ll be a while before that happens because THIS: How damn cute is that? Right? And, of […]

Skin: an Excerpt from Dusk of Death

…and I’m pretty sure I’ve shared this part before, but let’s just start over because there’s more coming. Skin Such anguish I feel, such sorrow. Heartache, I am, that I break my own flesh and feel discontent with the world, so I hide beneath my quivering wing in hopes to block the malevolence from my […]

Loud Noises

…make me giggle, and I’ll tell you why… Every time someone calls in a copier or printer because it’s making “loud noises,” I have to stifle a giggle because all I hear is this… . Now, I’m on vacation and not even awake yet when you read this. Be jealous. Have a lovely day. *grins* […]
