SURVIVAL OF THE COUSCOUS INVASION, POINTLESS PANIC, AND MORE!
It began as a typical Friday afternoon, working at home on my books, breaking every so often for a workout, a stretch, some cleaning, or a meal. I finished lunch but the TV was still on, and when I happened to glance at it, notice of a tornado warning trailed at the bottom of the […]

ANNOUNCING SPOTLIGHT OPPORTUNITIES YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT!
Are you interested in reaching a new audience? I’m looking for blogs, poems, photos, artwork, short stories, even a web series that would appeal to my readers. The submissions should not be simply promotional links for your books/work/sites or include them, and I’m not looking for anything that is too graphic. I prefer posts that […]

THAT DEVOTED GIRL SHATTERED BY YOUR TRUTH IS FREE
I had a dream about you last night and woke up crying. I couldn’t sleep after that. In the dream, you were angry with me—full of anger, full of hate. You had shut the door on me and left me out in the cold. I kept calling to you with a child’s unbearable anguish. You […]

BEFORE YOU FORGET AGAIN: YOU ARE AN AMAZING TRIUMPH!
The robin in your tender heart Hungers for the red berry That titillates your tongue. She carols as the snow falls— And not with the chorus of the dawn In radiant spring. What might have been? Your voice silenced, The spirit of you Destroyed, I see glimpses of your fire From the light that has […]

DISTORTED PERCEPTIONS OF ILLNESS & ADDICTION IN A FEARFUL WORLD
Obviously, there is a stigma when it comes to narcotic addiction. So when a drug addict gets sick or overdoses, it’s easy for some to distance themselves or conclude that it happens to specific groups comprised of losers. I’ve often heard the line that it’s a lifestyle choice, or God punishes the “bad” people. Those […]

WHEN IT HURTS—SURVIVING PEOPLE, LIFE AND MADNESS
It’s okay to talk about those days when we’re just tired and don’t want to try anymore. We could have weeks like that, months, maybe years. Sometimes we don’t know how much more we can take. With all that’s going on in the world, life can be discouraging. We try to achieve our goals, […]

LIL’ KIM BACKLASH—THE CRITICISM, BEING WORTHY & LOVE
With all the social media fuss about Lil’ Kim’s newest look, my first reaction was sadness for her and wanting to send love, tons of love. Then, as is so often the case with social media, there were many different reactions to the reactions, all of which required deeper reflection. I guess whatever response we had depended on who […]

AN EMPATHETIC BEING IN A STRANGELY APATHETIC WORLD?
Photo by Julia Caesar I know there is an established difference between empaths and highly empathetic people, but I prefer to discuss this topic without suggesting where I or anyone else might be on that spectrum. To be honest, I remain skeptical about the paranormal. I question the metaphysical aspect of having the high level […]

WANT TO BE MY BETA READER? WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW!
When I put out a call for beta readers a couple of weeks ago, many of you had questions. First, you asked what a beta reader does. Beta readers work with authors before a book’s release. They read the book, and their role is to provide feedback to the author. They don’t have to be […]

COME ON PEOPLE NOW—THIS IS JUST MADNESS
These candidates running for President make me want to embrace anarchy. I am a peace-loving gun control advocate who won’t harm a fly, but all the shenanigans have me wondering if I need to arm myself, train for battle and join a revolution. I’m tired of these oppressors who crap their pants over […]
