Young Adult Urban Fantasy – Reverse Harem
This last Thursday, my husband and I spotted a Border Collie running loose around our neighborhood. This was about 3pm, and we didn't think much of it as a lot of our neighbors have loose dogs. When my husband took Tundra for a walk later that night, he spotted the same dog, clearly unhappy as … Continue reading Found a Dog; Returned a Dog
Oh, glorious day, the first draft for my Ocooch Mountains 'Still Water' novel is complete. Take a look at those smexy, smexy words freshly printed and inserted in their binder for revision. It finished at 74,500 words or so, which isn't a worry because I always expand dramatically during revision. Printed double spaced, singles sided, … Continue reading First Draft of Ocooch Complete!
It snowed here! It has actually snowed twice, but the first time it melted off before Tundra could get his walk, and he was The Pouty Puppy. The second time it snowed, it was in the evening, and we put him out on the lead. He nosed around the yard and then came up onto … Continue reading Tundra Loves the Snow!
I write. SO MUCH. And very little of it is on this webpage. So I thought it would be fun to show what I've written: here's a break down! I have a TON of novels. (This does NOT include any of my short stories!) Year is the year started. Colors in this list are just … Continue reading Did I Mention I Write a Lot? Like, A Lot, A Lot
Creatives will probably know what I mean (and most folks have one for bills), but I had enough energy this last week that I tackled THE Pile of Artwork (and hand written fiction) from my younger years. There was much groaning as I went through it because, wow, awful Fanfiction and Fanart galore! I started … Continue reading House Cleaning Is Like Tetris
I'm not much of a soap fan - I don't find the process very interesting, and there's a limited set of smells I like - cloves and mint being the big ones. I do like Zum soaps, especially their ends assorted boxes. Their soaps are pretty and smell strongly (a good thing!). My husband likes … Continue reading Interesting Things Just for You: Royalty Soaps
So this is kind of vague since I don't talk much about work, but I had to take an exam (on Halloween!) to renew my certification. I was SUPER nervous about it and have been studying nearly every day. I really needed to get it on the first try since it expired at the end … Continue reading Passed! But I’m Not Telling You What I Passed
Happy belated Halloween! We didn't think to buy any costume parts in advance since I hadn't felt like dressing up. But then, day of, I DEFINITELY felt like dressing up. So here's what I could piece together using construction paper and basic make up supplies - most of it eyeliner. We had ~150 kids/parents this … Continue reading Construction Paper and Eyeliner
Silly five minute post. My husband asked me to design a cute game character for him, and this is what I came up with. I sketched it out in advance, and then he had me use a pixel art program to draw it. I went with blue and green because blue his his favorite color, … Continue reading I Designed a Cute!
I was sick last Thursday, and I upchucked on myself. So I threw my shirt in the wash and then laid in the bathroom next to the toilet. Which was bad enough. But then the washer went to the spin cycle, and water came gushing up out of our drain and filling the shower and … Continue reading Because Everyone Love Moar Plumbing Disasters
