Cranky

You know, today was a beautiful day. Great temps. Lovely sunlight. Green, green grass. Butterflies and birds and all that. And truly, my greatest wish was to just get in the car and randomly take a drive out in the country. Didn’t work that way, unfortunately, though I can’t really tell you why. Just one of those days, I guess. Connor is going through a growth spurt (literally, he’s drinking milk about every ten minutes. It’s pretty unreal) and seemed to need to tell me whenever he drank some. Every. Single. Time. Lucy was full of whining for no reason than I could figure out except that she’s four. And a girl. Even when I took the kids to the park for a while it seemed like nothing really satisfied them. (Apparently walking on the wrong side of the wobbly troll bridge is a sign of the apocalypse, and should… Read more

I am also fleshing out some odds and ends in the hopes that a Melanie story will make an appearance in a possible upcoming anthology. Also, I’ve finally ordered bookplates.

WTFkery of the Mind Boggling Kind.

Posted in blog | Tagged , | 2 Comments
You know, I’m not fond of jumping on the bandwagon of internet trending. (Which I’ve mentioned before). But last night it was brought to my attention that a fellow author was “outed” by someone in her community. And frankly, I find it just bizarre beyond belief that this is getting the attention that it is. The woman is a high school English teacher by day…and an erotica novelist by night.  So what? She’s been teaching for over 25 years, without incident. Clearly her writing has not been an issue in getting the job done. She had a pen name and a PO Box, so obviously she was keeping the two things separate (and with good reason, as we can see.) With all the things going on in the world today that are so much more important, how can people get their self-righteous panties bunched up so easily? I can understand… Read more
