Home and New Year
I’m back up and running. Well, jogging along. I suppose. Travel takes it out of me, and this trip was a great visit, but I got home exhausted. After falling asleep yesterday afternoon and sleeping for twelve hours straight, I feel human again today. Which is good, because I have a ton of stuff that…

Progress Report
I have my bed! So happy about this. I love the four-poster, but it’s more that we aren’t sleeping on a mattress on the floor at home any longer. The apartment is packed. Moving truck happens this coming Friday. This weekend is wainscoting and trim. All the fiddly bits! I got creative over at Mad…

I do have one fiction I’m listening…

Progress Report
I meant to write first thing this morning. I mean, I meant to blog first thing this morning. I wrote, instead. I’ve been working on a short story and I’m nearing the climax of that. So I’m excited about it and wanting to finish it off so I can send it to the editor of…

Free Story and More…
I now have a Goodreads Author page. Not sure what I’m going to do with it. Ideas? Plant Life is free for 24 hours only! In Amazon’s infinite wisdome (not really, but there are days…) the system would only let me do one day. So get it fast, even if you won’t have time to…
