Twilight Week Media – Check Them Out

JessLeave a comment

It's the week between Solstice/Yule/Christmas and the New Year, which means it's that weird twilight zone time where nothing means anything, everything is dark and sleepy (at least for me), and work is a series of super productive bursts followed by long fallow periods of brain rot. So far this week I've managed to read… Continue reading Twilight Week Media – Check Them Out

Definitions of Success

Jess1 Comment

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. I spent the first eight months or so leaving from work at 3:30 on Friday to drive home, coming back after 10 on Sunday night for the next work week.… Continue reading Definitions of Success

Milestone Frankenboob-aversary

This isn't porn, if that's what you searched for to get this blog post. Five years ago I finished radiation, which marked me as clear of breast cancer active treatment. It would've been an exciting day had I not been exhausted: I probably napped. You can read about it in the Thus Ends Frankenboob blog… Continue reading Milestone Frankenboob-aversary

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.

I hope your Memorial Day weekend was exactly what you needed it to be, from a military remembrance perspective, a political perspective, and a personal perspective. And if you're also currently in the throes of the final days of the school year, good luck to you. Stay sane! Before my little story of the day,… Continue reading Appearances and Sightings

Oldest of the horde is off galavanting in Greece for spring break with band and orchestra, so the horde twins and I went to Manhattan to visit my aunt and uncle. I’ve visited a few times over the decades, but it was the first time for the twins, and we made up for lost time.… Continue reading A Little Adventure in NYC

If you finished “and the number shall be three” we are already friends. If not, we’re still already friends but go watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail. In THREE SHORT DAYS days my book, Defying Shadows, will be released into the wild!! I can’t wait to hear what you think!

The Horde put the tree up last weekend. fAngus is pleased. Aah, sparkly bed. I see you taking pictures, human servant. I will tolerate it. I’m done paying attention to you now. You may go. May your holiday season be as colorful and chill as fAngus’s. If SAD affects you, the countdown is on: only… Continue reading fAngus Holiday Joy

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
