Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry I disappeared after the end of Advent – the holidays overwhelmed me, and I just couldn’t bring myself to write, never mind blog. But I hope everyone enjoyed this year’s Advent, and I promise, it’s not the last. For those who may not know (I know I have …

Posted on October 31, 2014
It’s finally here! Into Thin Air is finally available on Kindle! And you can get it here! But maybe you’re not sure. Maybe you don’t know if you’ll be interested in an odd ghost story. Maybe you’d like to try it out. Sure. Have Chapter One. On me: Chapter One Beginnings “But Detective!” The …
(personal/con/writing) A magical weekend
Posted on May 28, 2014
I just got back from Brigadoon – I mean, Balticon. (Please don’t tell me that you don’t get the reference, because then I’ll feel REALLY old. Just go with it.) The best place in the world to spend Memorial Day weekend is Hunt Valley, Maryland, at the best con in the world. No matter how …

Apparently, whoever was supposed to get her a calendar for Yule forgot. All I know is that it wasn’t me this year. I’ve …

Posted on March 17, 2014
It’s been a long week. I seem to be saying that a lot lately. I think it’s because it’s the end of winter – I’m so tired of the cold, and the snow, and the cold, and did I mention the cold? I hate being cold. I’d so much rather be hot than cold. And …
