This one is for an anonymous family member (feel better)! Inspired by the poem by Clement C. Moore: ‘Twas the night sweats and shivers, and I felt like a louse; Germ gremlins were crawling all over the house; Tissues were strewn about without care; All hoped that a doctor soon would be there; The children… Continue reading The Flu Before Christmas

Drawing a Blank
I've been a bit...ah, tongue-tied lately, hence the blog silence. Birthday/Christmas/New Years tends to do that to me. Oy vey. I get one thing in mind (like Christmas), and that's about all I can think of.

Over the weekend, I came up with five new concepts: three are for a series of cozy mysteries, the other two are urban fantasy and may or may not… Continue reading Hippity Hoppity

This is Your Captain Speaking…
This might be the last NaNo update I post this year. It's been real. It's been a blast. But I'm getting stressed. Not pressured, where you write and are like "I can do this! RAH ME! Go, team, go!"
