December 25 “Merry Christmas!” The words echoed through the house, pulling Molly from a dream in which she, Schrodinger and Drew were walking down a Road that snaked between brightly lit Christmas trees and mounds of snow. The dream was shattered when nearly 250 lbs of cat, dog and niece landed on her and the …

Posted on December 24, 2010
December 24 Don’t worry, Molly, he’ll be here. Molly smiled down at Schrodinger, who was standing next to her as she looked out the window. He had one paw on her leg, and his whole body radiated concern. “I know,” she said, letting the curtain drop. “I was actually looking out for Zette – I …

It’s a short episode today, sorry – I’m wiped, and Molly’s too worried to do much. But tomorrow, we will have more! I promise! December 23 Molly? Why are you still up? Schrodinger came padding out into the living room. Molly was curled up on the sofa under a throw her aunt had crocheted, looking …

December 22 “Schrodinger, hurry up! We want to start!” Sarah called from the tea room, and Molly laughed. “Go!” she said, shooing the CrossCat off his stool. “I’ll finish these – it sounds like they’re just waiting for you. And you’ve been waiting for this.” Schrodinger didn’t need much encouragement. He hopped down and shot …

Posted on December 21, 2010
December 21 Molly stepped outside and breathed in deeply. The icy scent of snow and evergreens and the sea flooded her lungs, giving her a blast of energy that she never tired of. In the Cove, the combination of Roads and the sea gave the air a fresh scent that she didn’t notice in other …
(advent) December 20 – Starting to figure it out….
Posted on December 20, 2010
December 20 Molly looked out over the packed tea room and sighed. Not surprisingly, the bookstore had been rocking all day; it was only 5 days until Christmas, and no one was immune to the last minute Christmas panic. Molly herself still had a few things to buy, but figured she’d hit the stores on …
(advent) December 19 – More Schrodinger!
Posted on December 20, 2010
December 19 Molly was singing in the kitchen. Schrodinger lay on his cat bed in the tea room, in front of the gas fire, and listened to her. When she was happy, he was happy. And she was most definitely happy today. This had been the first Snow Queen’s Ball Schrodinger had attended, although he’d …

Also, for those not on my Twitter or Facebook feed, I have decided to make the Advent Story available after Christmas as an ebook (once I do some editing, because I want to make the story even better). If there is enough interest, I might also make it available on Lulu.com for print editions. That …

(advent) December 17 – Finally, someone gets kissed!
Posted on December 18, 2010
December 17 “So, spill it. What time did he leave?” Molly grinned at Sue, who was perched on one of the stools in the kitchen. “Are you going to be disappointed if I tell you he left around midnight, after helping me frost brownies?” “Only if you tell me that he didn’t kiss you or …
