Saturday Supper
Food is love. When we moved to Texas a couple of years ago now, part of the motivation was coming into a community of friends that felt like family and were close enough to sit down and eat with from time to time. The group of folks who would become known as the North Texas…

Thank you friends
I think I’ve probably said this before, but you know? Bears saying again. I came across this quote from another author, one I don’t know, through the Passive Voice (who feels like a friend because I have read him so long, although I have rarely interacted with him directly, and honestly, that’s part of the…

Too Much
That moment when you find yourself with so much to do, and so little time, not to mention mental energy, that you are sitting in front of the bookshelf indulging in a little light research instead of doing anything else.

You adorable weirdos, you
Sometimes being an adult sucks rocks. Sometimes being an adult means I can say stupid stuff like that last sentence and know I’m not going to be scolded for slang. Sometimes I have more thoughts than I can possibly have words to express them with. Sometimes that means I say the same word over…

Traveling Lightly
I’m positively giddy at the moment. Not only am I taking a very special trip to Texas this week, but I’ve just finalized the arrangements for LibertyCon this coming summer… It’s going to be a great trip. You know, I’d planned to write a novel before LC came back around. That seems… unlikely. But it…

Psychology, Marketing, and Guesting
Good morning readers. It’s a bright winter morning here, just above freezing and getting warmer, which means the snow is going away. I may enjoy photographing snowflakes, but I don’t want the snow to linger for long! I’ve been a busy lady, so I have two articles up for you all, one my regular column…
