Progress and Not Progress
So it's taken the year thus far to get past the whole appendicitis issue, but I've healed from surgery and everything. Finally. Oi. I got a cat. Then I had to take it back, wept about it, had surgery and healed from it, then decided to try again. Fiona is now part of my household,…
In My Defense…
Okay, so 2026 has been rough. All around, but in my case, health-wise. I started it off in the hospital. Perforated appendicitis. I'm fine. Just spent a week in the hospital while my body built a wall around the spilled infection and absorbed it back in. They didn't do surgery. Didn't even put in a…
The Work Continues
With Purgatory Place published, I struggled briefly to figure out what to work on next. I even thinned out the WIP folder to ideas that actually had legs. I didn't delete anything, but I did put the less likely ones in an archive folder to get them out of the way so I could focus…

Back from LLS 2025! I should post some pictures, but I did post several to both Facebook and Instagram, so if you follow my links there, you've seen all the best pictures already. We had SUCH a blast! What a lovely end to such a long-running, wonderful con for readers and writers alike. It will…
I FINISHED THE BEARS!!
Finally! Weighing in at a whopping "I'm not going to tell you because I'ma edit it down to a reasonable total" words long, the bears are done! It took not going to sleep last night despite taking my sleep meds, but hey. Sometimes, if I can't sleep, I might as well be productive. I'm so…
She LIVES.
And she writes! I wrote on something else for a little while -- a thriller -- but I'm back to the bears now, and writing up a storm. It feels like it's taking forever. It's character development, dammit. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Otherwise, I got out today into the sunlight and fresh air for a lovely walk.…
Get Moving, Slowpoke!
I have been S-L-O-W slow this past month or so. I've gotten words, but few and far between. Part of it is winter, of course. It's a season of rest. But it's usually summer that gets me down, so I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble this winter. All that to say I'm…
Stayin’ Alive
Hello, all! How is your most beautiful October going? Mine is a flurry of writing. I got bogged down on the bears, so I floundered for a bit. Then, I was struck like a death ray by a new story idea for spooky season. Yes. I got an idea for a spooky book ALREADY IN…
Progress Report
Guys, I'm still working on the bears. I'm rereading before the big finale to make sure I know where all my threads are before tying them together. I know this one has taken me longer than usual, and I can only partly blame it on the ridiculous length. A large part of the delay was…
Back in Black
Actually, I'm currently coloring my white hair a temporary wine red. But I'm wearing a black shirt while it processes. It's gonna be so cool, I hope. So I'm back from the con, and I had a BLAST. The panels, the comradery of fellow fans, the buzz coming off the crowd, the music, the food!…
