Thee books, Three Happy Ever Afters
My This Time Forever series is currently free to read for Kindle Unlimited subscribers! Each of these books features a different couple and can be read alone, but the characters all know each other, and I check in with everyone in each book, building a small community around family–the ones we’re born to and the […]

What I’ve Been Reading
The #WritersRead prompt for February was a book set in the future. I chose to read Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks. I approached the book with a lot of misconceptions. I had expected it to be a long and difficult read, full of stuff I just didn’t get. But while the world Iain M. […]

Flash Fiction: “88 Days” and “Mine”
I used to write a lot of flash fiction, at least one piece a week. Last year, when I wasn’t writing anything, people suggested I try flash fiction again and I thought about it but didn’t get very far. This year, now that I am writing again, I have the urge to flash. I will […]

It’s Not You, It’s Me. Or Is It?
Late last year, I bowled through three of my most anticipated games in a matter of weeks, emerging on the other side somewhat disappointed and quite disillusioned. The critics loved these games. They were winning awards. But they weren’t winners for me. The question was, why? We’ll start with the biggest meh of all—Star Wars […]

What I’ve Been Reading
I gave up participating in reading challenges a few years ago when I figured out that I really only ever got around to reading one or two of the mountain of books assigned. I’m a mood reader, meaning I’m not really sure what I’m going to read next. It might be one of the books […]

The Long and Winding Road
I’m on the fourth draft of this WIP. What makes the situation unique, for me, is that I haven’t finished the first draft yet. Usually, when I write a novel, I go all the way to the end before making any significant changes. There have been exceptions. Sometimes I’ll get the feeling the book isn’t […]

My Odyssey
Sometimes, instead of playing D&D, our group would get together and play a console game. Usually, it would be something we could take turns at, a perennial favourite being Katamari. Then we might fight it out with Super Smash Bros Brawl or, before Twitch was a thing, watch one person play Halo, Portal, or, in […]

2020
I’m having trouble processing the fact we’ve just embarked upon a new decade. This might have something to do with the fact I still haven’t accepted the fact we’re twenty years into a new millennium. When? How? Despite having a hard time with the math, however, I have done a lot over the past ten […]

My Favourite Things: 2019
2019 has drawn to a close (finally) and it’s time to share all the things I loved. I read slightly fewer books and watched fewer movies in theatres. But I think I watched more television than ever before and I read a lot more non-fiction. While fewer books and movies made it to The List […]
