  • Spice Coffee Cake

    Spice Coffee Cake

    One of the many things I like to do is pamper my First Reader. When we had an unexpected morning, just the two of us, and time to do things, I asked him what he’d like for breakfast. Waffles, pancakes, biscuits? I offered. Coffee cake?  Oh, yes! His eyes lit up. What about the coffee…

  • Book Review: Red Wolf

    Book Review: Red Wolf

    What the heck. I stopped doing book reviews a long time ago, and for good reasons. But this author needs more attention on her stuff because it’s good. Really, really good, and I want her to write more. So for purely selfish reasons…  Red Wolf is, so far, two novellas that are either science fiction…

  • All the Things

    All the Things

    February is one of my worst months, usually. I can’t say this year was completely different, but it was different. Worst in losing the dear doggo who has just always been there, breathing on my leg while I was trying to write, tripping me in the shadows of a night, following me with all the…

  • A Dog-Shaped Hole

    A Dog-Shaped Hole

    She was the best of dogs. Sure, she ate a wall once. Oh, and there was the time the First Reader was convinced she’d die after chewing through an industrial power cord. And that time (more than once!) where she went after a groundhog and came prancing back, tail high, with her victim in her…

  • Chat and Support!

    Chat and Support!

    So here’s a way you can chat with me – the BroadCast is going to be running at 6 pm Central (every Wednesday!) and I’ll be in the live chat during the episode. But if you can’t find it in time, then it’s available to watch, or listen, on any podcast service you prefer now. …

  • Virtual Recipe Box: Tabbouleh

    Virtual Recipe Box: Tabbouleh

    Sometimes, I use the blog as a readily searchable recipe card catalog.  Which is why you’ll get posts like this, where I note down what I had scribbled in my kitchen lab notebook. Why don’t I just use the notebook? Well, firstly I’ve lost said notebook(s) over the years. Second, you can’t spill on the…

  • Three Moms of the Apocalypse

    Three Moms of the Apocalypse

    It’s going to be a busy day. I have a lot scheduled, from a visit to the Farmer’s Market to recording a podcast episode, to a business meeting down in the city, to supper with friends to round it all off tonight. And then again tomorrow I’ll be experimenting with food again…  The experimentation isn’t…

  • Process of Elimination

    Process of Elimination

    I was messing around with art, and thought it would be fun to unpack my thought process as I worked towards what I wanted.  My first prompt to MidJourney was “graceful dryad in green chiffon, fashion photography, green vines –ar 2:3”  I wanted to see what I got for dryad, first, and I really like…

  • Cat Chat

    Cat Chat

    I am amused at this particular little bit of nonsense and time waster.  Want to have a conversation with a cat? Here you go.  Inspector Gidget likes this recliner that is in my office. She spends much of her days sleeping on it. And she’s usually mildly peeved when I displace her so I can…

  • Odd Prompts: MidJourney Styles

    Odd Prompts: MidJourney Styles

    So, I’ve been slugging my way through a short story that is emotionally fraught. No place to fit in the prompt. What you’ve got instead is an exploration of styles available through the art AI tool, MidJourney. I use this heavily in my graphic design of various projects, and when something new comes out, I…

  • Cover Reveal: But Not Broken

    Cover Reveal: But Not Broken

    Work on the next PTSD anthology is continuing, and we are on track for a publication date of Valentine’s Day. I’d been hoping it would be possible, and now that we’re into February, I can say it for sure!  This means, of course, that we finally have a cover! I chose to design it with…
