Thanksgiving

From its bloody beginning to the more recent attacks on the Native People’s protesting the DAPL, Thanksgiving is a complicated holiday in the United States. It’s always been a “damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t” style holiday for me, especially being a 20+ year-long vegetarian (the non-preachy kind thank you!).

Jet City Wrap-Up

This past weekend was Jet City Comic Show, my first one in fact! I wasn’t originally going to attend but once the We Are All SF convention exploded in a shower of sparks, I was invited to attend. My chainmailling friend, Elise, and I had a booth in the dealer’s room as Books & Chains.

Beside us was Jeffrey Cook & Lee French of the always awesome Clockwork Dragon and across from us was Greg Smith, creator/writer of the comic series Junior Braves of the Apocalypse, which I haven’t read, but Elis...

TT: Bunnicula!

This week’s Throwback Thursday / TT: Bunnicula by James & Deborah Howe

This was one of my favorite series as a child and one of the first I read that was slightly scary (at least it was to age 7 me) and full of puns.

Throwback Thursday Bunnicula

What I Love about This Cover: I can’t find the original cover that I had, but either way, it intrigued me. Animals solving a mystery is and has always been a serious weakness of mine in terms of cheesy books. (Yes, I’ve read the mysteries with cats solving crimes.) What I also love...
