I’m Going to See Margaret Atwood!

I’m trying to calm down, but it’s difficult. Margaret Atwood is my idol. She is just amazing. Her writing, her knowledge, her ability to share amazing ideas with the world… I’m all flustered. Front row, center. Yep. That’s me. I can’t really stop dancing right now, so I’ll have to tell you more later. Oh, […]

Let’s Talk About mother!

  By now you have likely been pummeled by headlines denouncing the latest film by Darren Aronofsky, mother! It has been intensely polarizing and there doesn’t seem to be any middle ground. Why? Because people are either really looking at it and focusing on the film or they are only seeing the surface and taking it at […]

Social Media Eclipses Solar Event

  Did You See That? Although my location afforded only a 70%ish view, a solar eclipse is pretty incredible. It was especially great since I forgot to get glasses and conveniently have a science teacher for a neighbor. Before I went out to casually ask how things were looking, I Googled NASA coverage of the […]

YA Author Interview from the Verge: Kama Falzoi Post

I love to introduce new authors! Kama Falzoi Post is here for the first of a two-part interview in preparation for her upcoming YA novel, InHuman. With Nanowrimo in full swing, it’s great to find out that a newly published author wrote her novel during Nano. In other words, don’t give up. I’m thrilled to […]

Sometimes It’s Better to Just Write It Down

I have had quite a week. Stress here, stress there, stress, stress everywhere. And I have taken it all in and let it really make me alternately mad and sad. I’ve hit the peak right now. Because we’re such good friends, I’ll share that I’ve been crying and angry for the last hour or so. […]

If I Fall, If I Die

I put off reviewing this book because I wasn’t thrilled by it. A mother with crippling agoraphobia who basically cripples her son’s ability to live a normal life…  It was put-downable, and I almost never give up on a book. I was really  hoping for more, based on the description, but I was disappointed.  I […]

Doctor, Do You Really Mean It? We All Do This…

I’ve noticed something interesting. Well, there are a lot of interesting things to notice, but I’ve noticed one in particular recently. People say things without even thinking about the context. Hang on, I’ll explain. I was at the physical therapy center (long story for a later date) and the nurse said, “Hi, howareyouthiswayplease.” And it […]

Meet “The Widow”

I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy of The Widow by Fiona Barton. You know that I don’t like to give spoilers, so let’s just say this: If you like mystery, enjoyed Girl on a Train, and need a good read if you happen to snowed in (me), this is a great choice. […]

Missing in Action

You may, or may not, have noted my absence since the Unicorn Writers Conference. This is related to the fact that I sustained an injury during that trip that caused multiple complications that are ongoing. I’ll be back… I promise. And I’ll tell you more about it.
