SK and I had a short week after the annual Sibling Derby Weekend. 2026 was at Black Bear Resort and Casino, a new venue for all of us because the sibs had tickets to a concert after the race: food was really good, rooms have all been redone and were lovely, bed was way too… Continue reading Intermission: It’s Been a Weird Week

Romance is a Minefield
So in this morning's neighborhood Face-space group, which is often full of the usual messy racist, classist diatribes by "anonymous123456" users and occasionally punctuated with gloriously kind or wholesome posts, a man seemingly forgot it was not a dating app. His pic was clean cut and suited, his description was vague and well written and… Continue reading Romance is a Minefield
I Am Not an Influencer
So I got this super cool email from my publisher today: he sent it to all the authors for free marketing. The hitch: I'd have to do a VIDEO for DS and send it to the much-better-known witch on social media, who will then post the videos regularly on their socials to market. It's a… Continue reading I Am Not an Influencer
An Unexpected Visit
So, a couple weeks ago I posted I was about to have my first Zometa infusion and cross all the things and all that. The universe put together some, hmm, interesting factors the week after that appointment that led to an interruption in my regularly scheduled programming, which also (annoyingly) led to me missing Paganicon… Continue reading An Unexpected Visit
An End, A Beginning
At the end of last winter I bought myself cross country skiing gear. I had a hysterectomy between Yule and New Years in 2024/2025, so there wasn't any point in getting geared up during the season, but I wanted to be ready for this winter. This winter has been a little wild with house renovations… Continue reading An End, A Beginning
You are not alone in this dystopia.
The last few months have been terrifying in the US for many as policies, rhetoric, and even legislation has highlighted an underlying racist and misogynist agenda by those currently in power. It's disheartening. It's scary as hell. It's hard to focus on other things (like writing and blogging and such) while trying to get through… Continue reading You are not alone in this dystopia.
Maycember is finally over…I’m tired and I don’t remember what day it is.
Graduation activities for the eldest Horde member are all done (his grad party was last weekend). I checked in with my European co-workers today: no, they don't seem to do grad parties in the UK the way we do here. Not surprising: Americans are consistently weird. I mean, the whole point of a graduation party… Continue reading Maycember is finally over…I’m tired and I don’t remember what day it is.
New Author Moments
Yesterday I did an interview for Defying Shadows on a podcast (details to come when it's available later this month). I was nervous as hell, and it was really fun. 10/10 experience, would definitely do again anytime. Today I got an email through the blog asking a bunch of questions about me and my author… Continue reading New Author Moments
Sunday…Resting?
fAngus approved this post. I'm back to work full time as of last week (although only because I don't have to sit in an office chair full time. I tried that for two of my eight hour days and paid dearly for the rest of the week). Yesterday was a full day of show choir… Continue reading Sunday…Resting?
Round 2? Fall 2024 is a Sh*tshow.
A week ago, SK and I took the horde to Disney World as a way to honor his mom and make memories. It was amazing and exhausting. First time flights were had, boundaries were stretched, new foods tried, rides were ridden, shops were shopped, and ultimately feet were tired out. I averaged twelve thousand steps… Continue reading Round 2? Fall 2024 is a Sh*tshow.
