Cancellation Apologies
Due to a death in the family, I'm unable to attend the Women & Spirituality Conference tomorrow in Rochester, Minnesota. I'm sorry to miss it, and I'm terribly sorry if you were planning on attending my time slot, but the funeral is this weekend. The best prepared plans are nothing to Fate, schedule. May all… Continue reading Cancellation Apologies
Definitions of Success
Twenty-*cough* and some years ago, I'd moved from my hometown to a suburb of Minneapolis for a job and desperately wished I could move back.

Even Good Change…
January became slightly more chaotic than I'd anticipated. At this moment I feel like I'm in the tail-end of an avalanche flinging me toward the future. My manuscript's due date for Crossed Crow Books was February 1st. I edited, revised, and added five thousand words over the course of January and turned it in on… Continue reading Even Good Change…
