I ran tonight again, but this time, for the first time in about three years, I ran on a track. Not on a treadmill. We’ll see how my knees feel tomorrow. Then I came home and wrote. I’ll be writing tomorrow morning too, and I’m hoping to be caught up by Friday. That’s the goal, …

(advent) December 16 – Sunday
Posted on December 18, 2012
I’m sorry – this weekend was NOT my best, but I’m working on catching up, now that I’ve beaten my migraine back and I can eat again. This is the 16th – I’m hoping to be caught up by Thursday! <><><><><><><><><><><><><> “Do you two have any idea what you might have done?” Drew and Pavel …
(advent) A winter wedding!
Posted on December 16, 2012
If I had to get married again, I think maybe I’d like a wedding like this. <><><><><><><><><><><><><> It was, Molly thought, the perfect winter’s day for a wedding. Overnight, snow had fallen in a soft white blanket that covered Carter’s Cove in pristine white, like a bridal veil. She and Schrodinger stood with the Trio …
(advent) December 14th story
Posted on December 15, 2012
I couldn’t write yesterday. I’m sorry for the delay. <><><><><><><><><><><><><> “Hello?” Pavel’s voice rang through the courtyard. “Drew?” Drew stuck his head out of the stables. “I’m in here,” he said. “Come on in.” The pirate sauntered through the stable doors. “Are you hiding?” he asked jokingly, and then stopped as he saw Ember. His …
(advent) Plots and Pianofortes
Posted on December 13, 2012
There are no pianofortes in this story, but I’ve always wanted to title something that way. Yes, I’m odd. There are plots, though! Lots of them! (Well, for localized definitions of the word “lots”) <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> “Hang on, Schrodinger! You’re going too fast!” But I don’t want to be late! The CrossCat went careening across the …
(advent) And we are caught up!
Posted on December 12, 2012
Finally! Now I just need to make sure I STAY caught up! <><><><><><><><><><><><> “I thought I was going to die,” Molly admitted, as she set gumdrops into the frosted wreath in front of her. The island was stacked high with mini gingerbread leaves – she’d decided she was bored with gingerbread men, and she didn’t …
(advent) December 11 post – still struggling to catch up
Posted on December 12, 2012
I’m working on it, I promise! <><><><><><><><><><><><> “Wait, she said what?” Drew stared at Pavel, torn between horror and admiration. “She said that–” “No, I heard you the first time.” Drew sighed and put his palm to his forehead, wondering if maybe he could blame the entire last week on a fever dream. His skin, …
(advent) Still behind, but trying to get caught up!
Posted on December 11, 2012
I’m so sorry, folks! I am hoping to be fully caught up by tomorrow! In the meantime, here’s the December 10th episode. <><><><><><><><><><><> It was easy to tell when Old Man Winter entered CrossWinds Books. Molly was out in the tea room, refilling Lisa’s (one of her regulars) tea cup and chatting about Lisa’s upcoming …
(advent) The tree, the dragon – and Old Man Winter
Posted on December 9, 2012
And a partridge in a pear tree! Well, okay, no. But close. <><><><><><><><><><><><> It was cold, colder than Schrodinger had expected. The scent he’d been following for the last two Roads wound through the cold like a sharp ribbon, cutting the air around him into shards of icy glass, just out of reach. Old Man …
(advent) Pirates!
Posted on December 8, 2012
You knew it was coming. I can’t seem to write a story without pirates. <><><><><><><><><> “Well, well, well, you have fallen into a nice nest, haven’t you?” The familiar booming voice echoed through the entire house, and Drew grinned. “It’s a gilded cage,” he said, coming down the stairs. “I’m a golden bird.” “Indeed you …
