Happy Chinese New Year! Are you ready for the changes that are on the way? We’re going from the Year of the Wood Snake to the Year of the Fire Horse, and that means thins are gonna move. To quote Ferris Bueller: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in…
Wow. I never thought it would come to this. I’m leaving Amazon. I’ve never not published on Amazon in the nearly 14 years I’ve been published. It feels a little like cutting a part off, but that part was slowly rotting, desiccating while I watched. Still it’s a sad and frustrating feeling. I’m stepping into…
I was casually scrolling on Facebook the other day and I came across the image to the right. It reads: “November is Buy Some Art from a Local Artist Month. (Okay, maybe we made that up.) But seriously, shop small and support artists this season.” I remarked that I had list of authors you can…
Well, isn’t this a fine kettle of fish? Blogging is coming back because social media “networks” aren’t for humans anymore. Yeah, it doesn’t make sense to me, either. I mean, the whole definition of “social media” is to connect with other humans. Right? Apparently not. Between the Muskrat destroying Twitter and Zuckersucks filling FB with…
I hope you’re having a very happy holiday season, full of joys and company and good food. I know a lot of people have suffered this year in a lot of ways, and we’re all hoping 2024 will be a lot better than 2023. For myself, I only published 3 books this year, but I…
Hey y’all! I’m so sorry I haven’t been here. Between the election (where I ran for the local school board) and Twitter dying (isn’t it just amazing?) and #NaNoWriMo, I’ve been really distracted and I didn’t post anything. So here are some images with what’s been going on. At the end of October, I released…
Look what my parents bought me for my birthday! Okay, they gave me an Amazon gift card and *I* bought it, but ?. This is my next miniature project. Isn’t it cool? I love Asian architecture and this looks so fun to put together. Videos coming soon.
Do y’all know about Etsy? Yeah, I shouldn’t go there. It’s dangerous. But I’ve been eyeing some art prints from Purple Top Hat (purpletophat.etsy.com) because her work is whimsical and beautiful and makes me so darn happy. They arrived in the mail yesterday and today I got them framed on my wall. From left to…
I’m sure all of you know about the SCOTUS ruling this morning overturning Roe vs. Wade, a 50 year precedent on privacy. The landmark ruling allowing abortion as a right of privacy has been overturned by a religious and partisan court no longer working in the interests of the American people. I’M FUCKING FURIOUS. Wyoming…
A few of you might know that in June 2021, I realized my health was deteriorating. My clothes were necessarily getting bigger and I weighed as much as I did when I was 9 months pregnant with my first kid. Even though I spent all of 2020 and 2021 walking almost 7 days a week,…
