Mini Lending Library – Episode One
Last winter my cousin’s son – quite the amateur woodworker – built us a gorgeous mini lending *library. I’ve always thought these were a super cool way to support reading in your immediate neighborhood, particularly if you live in an area not already serviced by a public library. We set it up early this spring, […]

Change for the Changelings by Wendy Nikel
When I knocked at your window, you showed no fear. I’ll take this to be a good sign. Perhaps you already know, deep down, that there’s something about you they find strange and unsettling.

Yon the Ugly, by Stephen Taylor
The wizard Yon was an ugly man, and he knew it. He had beady eyes that tended to roll back and forth like unanchored dinghies, a soft chin webbed with scars from wrestling pigs, and patches of multi-hued stubble sprouting up like dandelions across his face. What was more, he often smelled like a wet […]

Pikes Peak Writers Conference, 2018
When I first started looking around for writers conferences to attend, many MANY years ago, the name that kept popping up was Pikes Peak Writers Conference. I had never been to a conference before and I was so nervous about it my hands were shaking as I hit the ‘register now’ button. But I went, […]

A Malevolent Sun
It was a beautiful winters day. The sky was wide and blue and unmarked by even the smallest trace of a cloud. The sun was warm and glinted off the snow left from the previous day’s storm. It was the sort of day that couldn’t be denied or put off. One of those rare warm […]
