    Hatrack Update

      Ladies, gentleman, and other assorted egregious beings…  I promised The Case of the Perambulating Hatrack by March 2021. I underestimated just how ‘dirty’ some of my transcriptions were, from having dictated a fair amount of it, and either editing in posts here, and not in the main manuscript… suffice it to say, Past Cedar…

    Coping Skills

      I started reading a book the other day, on the recommendation of a dear friend. It’s not an easy read, for me. I have to stop sometimes and read something else, while I deal with the brain dumping chemicals… But I suppose I just started in the middle and ought to come back around…

  • Book Review: Academic Magic

    Book Review: Academic Magic

      Academic Magic by Becky Jones is a solid debut novel. I enjoyed the read, and would recommend it if you enjoy scenic campuses, academic politics, and talking squirrels. What? Why not? My alma mater has a clade of luxuriantly plump tree dwellers, so I immediately pictured one of those chonky bois as the squirrel…

    Guest Post: Jello, Amie!

      This post is from Amie Gibbons, my friend and fellow author, who just launched another book! I have a little reflected glow of pride, here, since I did the cover for her. Amie is prolific and a wonderfully fun author, and she wanted to celebrate her launch. Since I’m not able to do Eat…
