This is not a real post because school hasn't ended and things have been just this side of insanely busy for the last howevermany weeks (good Goddess how is it JUNE already? I still have a zillion unintended snapdragons to plant!) and I have three reviews to write. Yes, the run on sentence reflects what's… Continue reading Every Title I’ve Tried for this is Filthy.

Book News
I have a cover!! I love it. I can't wait to do a big cover reveal whenever I'm allowed. I also got to see a draft of the forward, written by an author I had at the top of my "if only" wish list when asked for anyone I'd prefer the publisher ask first. The… Continue reading Book News
A fAngus Follow Up
I'm working on a book review and some other bits of news, but in the meantime Mr. fAngus had a bit of a photo shoot last night that produced some entertaining expressions. He wasn't trying to look like a disdainful supermodel, but that's what ended up happening after Ragnar and Minerva ran by making noise,… Continue reading A fAngus Follow Up
How I Offended fAngus This Week. Also, an Essay Published!
fAngus, who is nearly seven (and no, I don't know how old that makes him in cat years because, unlike dogs, cats don't enthusiastically share their actual age with folk they consider staff) has always been a contrary little dude. He prefers not to snuggle, thank you very much. He spent most of his time… Continue reading How I Offended fAngus This Week. Also, an Essay Published!
Just…Dogs and Dogs Adjacent.
Yesterday was 70 degrees, so I took my laptop on the deck and found this goober on my chair. Please note how she refuses to look AT me, because I'm telling her to get the hell off my spot so I can work. FYI, there's a second chair she could've used. It’s a running joke… Continue reading Just…Dogs and Dogs Adjacent.
Vacation Log: Sunburn Date March somethingth?
Balcony view of the Atlantic Yes I brought my laptop to Cocoa Beach. No, I didn't bring it out ON the beach (good Goddess, no way) like the dude I saw yesterday. He seemed to think his little dome tent and door flap (not euphemisms) would save his laptop as he sat there all day… Continue reading Vacation Log: Sunburn Date March somethingth?
It’s Away!
Four weeks ago, I submitted my manuscript to the publisher (a day early, which I was rather proud of, being a general procrastinator). Two weeks ago, they responded after the team had gone through as a "first pass" with suggested notes. Add a few things here and there, maybe combine a couple chapters, title suggestions:… Continue reading It’s Away!
Not a Master Task Juggler
Happy Valentine's Day to me, from SK. Contrary to rumors started by my new reading glasses stand, I am still here. I started the new job this week on Wednesday, which turned out to be a massively positive move. I was stressed about the change (because even good change is stressful and requires rejiggering of… Continue reading Not a Master Task Juggler
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…
Today My Freak Flag Flies
So, I follow an extremely generous blog that posts monthly collations of writing markets, contests, agents, and other programs looking for submissions. January’s list of writing contests begins with a long form poem about defenestration*. Defenestration, if you don’t know, is the act of throwing someone out a window. My first thought (which I voiced)… Continue reading Today My Freak Flag Flies
