“I don’t think I’ve ever seen you this excited, Zoey!” her father said, chuckling as his daughter pulled them along the snowy sidewalk. “It’s so cool, Dad! And you won’t believe it until you see it!” Zoey danced in front of them, her braids flying around her head. She’d requested white bows today, and …

(advent) Saturday, December 7
“Molly! Schrodinger! Look what St. Nicholas left me!” Zoey burst into the kitchen at CrossWinds Books, waving a long, narrow package in the air. Her mother trailed behind her with an expression that was half amusement at her daughter, and half something else. Molly couldn’t quite put her finger on what that something else …

Hurry, hurry! Schrodinger urged, looking over his shoulder at Zoey and Lily. Hurry! “Why are we hurrying?” Zoey asked breathlessly as they ran after him. Jack was even further ahead, galloping for all he was worth. “It must be something important!” Lily told her, taking her hand so they could run together. …

Sorry this is late, guys. I was busy – hubby and I went to see Rifftrax Live do Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! It was awful in a really, really funny way. But here is today’s story! *** “Brr! It’s cold out here!” Molly grinned at Drew as he stamped his feet on the …

“So, what do you know about the Allards?” Molly’s question was quiet and meant to be for Aunt Margie’s ears only, but Schrodinger heard, even from his bed next to the wood stove. CrossCats had really sharp hearing anyways, and it helped that the bookstore was fairly quiet, even for a Wednesday. He continued …

You have to tell me, Schrodinger said, as they waited with Jack for Lily and Zoey to come out of the school. I know you had something to do with this. He’d used their private link to say this, so Molly knew that Jack couldn’t hear them. I don’t know what you mean, she …

Sorry it’s late, guys. I have a snot-squid in my head, and it’s not being very cooperative. That being said, it’s still Monday! So here it is…. Schrodinger! Come on, it’s almost time for the bell to ring! I’m coming! Schrodinger stretched his legs, straining a bit to keep up with Jack. Remember, …
(advent) November 30 – a prologue
Molly Barrett hummed to herself as she kneaded bread dough. There were four more loaves already rising in bread pans lined up on the stove, and five loaves in the oven. That would be enough bread for sandwiches for at least six days, provided Drew didn’t snitch a loaf for the Station. Maybe I’d better …
(advent) Upcoming goodies!
I’m sorry, folks. I’ve been neglecting the blog this month, because I’m knee-deep in the Advent story for next month, and it’s NaNo, and yeah, that’s not an excuse, but there it is. However, I have some goodies coming up, and I wanted to let you know! First, I’ll be on Mitchell Plested’s Get …
(advent) December 25 – Merry Christmas
The reindeer leapt forward through the snow, seemingly tireless. Molly, Drew and Schrodinger were snuggled in the back, under a mountain of furs, protected from the wind by the tall figure of Old Man Winter. Drew and Schrodinger had succumbed to sleep at some point during the long ride, but Molly couldn’t, despite her fatigue. …
