The Kitchen Towel
When we moved into this house, it had all sorts of quirky bits of storage, and so many hooks. So. Many. Also, mirrors, nails in the walls… a lifetime of setting things just so to suit the person who lived here from 1950 until 2020. Overlaying our wants and needs on that has been… interesting.…

Why Not?
On my desk I have a few sheets of paper. I printed them out earlier, and now they are lying here causing me some mingled emotional moments when I look over and see them. You see, I suspect most of you are like me. Back in 2020 when the world stopped, or attempted to grind…

Between Two Graves
I have the honor and delight of creating the covers for this series. So when I tell you Dorothy Grant’s latest in her tactical romance series is out… Between Two Graves I’ve obviously got a bias, but seriously, I think every book of hers has just gotten better, and at this point that’s a pretty…

Scotch Woodcock
This is another fun entry to the egg recipe list, although I have a feeling it will be somewhat controversial! You can find the whole list of 99 Ways to Make Eggs here. In this time of recession and belt-tightening, eggs remain an inexpensive protein source and a good choice for grocery budgets. Scotch Woodcock…

Odd Prompts: Titanium Princess
This one’s a complete short story. Enjoy! **** “When did he die?” She asked. Niz grunted. He was focused on getting the lock open, and it was never easy. The fact that the shop was locked at all made him uneasy. It wasn’t until he’d managed to practically pry open the padlock with his key…

Chloe Snippet: House of the Bulls
Since I didn’t write for the prompt last week, here’s a snip of the WIP. Feedback is welcome. I’m still figuring out what I’m doing with this story. *** The bus stop wasn’t at the cemetery entrance, of course. Who would need to come and go to the city of the dead inside the greater…

Odd Prompts: The Gavotte
Sadly, I’ve never learned to dance, much less the intricate dances nearly lost to history now. But the springs and prances that occasionally enliven a gavotte seem to suit this peculiar pair as they court. My prompt this week was “The red dragon danced with the white unicorn.” from AC Young. I simply had to…

Summer in North Texas: Arrowhead Lake
You know it’s a good nature walk when you get to use the line ‘it’s like the Pit of Sarlacc…’ We take a lot of inspiration from the peculiar creatures around us, and that gets used in fiction, like the abovementioned monster. But there are other things that we see, and resonate with us. Like…

Eat This While You Read That: CV Walter
This one was a first, in that I got to hand some of the food I’d prepared for the blog post to the author! And get squee‘s in response. Also, this is a delicious treat. Both the food, and the book! When I am making baklava I don’t make the filo dough. There are some…

Custard Sauce
A shocking amount of my meal planning pivots on ‘what needs to be used up before it goes off?’ and I know I’m not alone in that. This recipe evolved out of having five small Granny Smith Apples that had been in the fruit bowl for some time. The nice thing about baking apples is…

Odd prompts: Chloe Snippet
This is a snip of the ongoing Chloe story. You can find earlier snips here, or the first book here. *** The bus was not a fast way to get home, but Chloe had refused to get a car, despite her mother’s silent disapproval. She’d only reluctantly gotten her driver’s license, and hated driving, and…

Being at Rest
Since I have been attempting to keep Sunday as my rest day, and given that yesterday was a lovely but strenuous day, I have done remarkably little today. Perhaps next week I shall do even less. Even (gasp!) schedule ahead a blog post. This week, I shall give you my daily art. Which is, I…
