I've neglected this blog a little bit, but I think it will work out. I read H. Rider Haggard's She for my November Canon Blast post-- which you can find over on my Patreon for just $1/month-- and it was a hoot. And I mean that sarcastically, because I really did not like it at … Continue reading Flash in the Pan: A “She” Companion Story

Year in Books 2018
It's December 31, which means it's time to take stock of what I read this year and pick some favorites. TOP FIVE (in no particular order): Annihilation-- Jeff Vandermeer Go ahead and watch the movie, but it's nothing at all like the book. Annihilation is the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, and I … Continue reading Year in Books 2018
Giftmas Blog Tour 2018– Eggscellent
Happy Winter Solstice! This holiday season I am participating, for the first time, in Rhonda Parrish's blog tour to benefit the Edmonton Food Bank. It's an advent calendar style tour this year, so every day for the first 24 days of December, you can follow along and read a new story donated by a writer … Continue reading Giftmas Blog Tour 2018– Eggscellent
2018 Eligibility Post
Hello friends! This is a different kind of wrap up post. It's been brought to my attention that Awards Season is upon us, and I do have a couple of things that are eligible. Nebula Nominations are open--I'm not a SFWA member (yet!) so I can't nominate, but I will put together a post closer … Continue reading 2018 Eligibility Post
Suddenly, September
It's September! August was a good month for stories, for me. My Great British Bake Off meets Sweeney Todd story, "Too Good, At Least" is available over on Speculative City. I had a blast writing this one--it was one of those rare stories that pretty much sprang from my head fully formed, like Athena. I … Continue reading Suddenly, September
Story Fog
July passed in a haze of stories. Seriously, a haze. I can't even begin to tell you what most of them were about, and I'm still recovering from the onslaught so I haven't gone back to look at any of them yet. I know there were food puns, destructive fairies, pop culture references, and about … Continue reading Story Fog
Write Like You’re Not Melting
It's July 1, and I've sent off my first story for Zoetic Press' Write Like You're Alive challenge. The goal is to write one story per day for the entire month of July. I hemmed and hawed for a few weeks about whether or not I was actually going to do this, because 31 in … Continue reading Write Like You’re Not Melting
Tesla-adjacent: January Recap
I'm a day late with this, but I wasn't sure I was going to do it at all, and I'm also not really sure where January went. It was here a minute ago. However, I think it might help keep me on track with my goals for 2018 if I give myself a little "here's … Continue reading Tesla-adjacent: January Recap
Reading Year in Review
I managed to read 51 books this year, which I believe is a new record. There are a handful of quick reads in there-- poetry chapbooks, graphic novels, a middle grade/YA fiction binge around book 27-- but it's still 51 books. And it was perfectly doable, which is why I have set 50 as my … Continue reading Reading Year in Review
Commitment Problems
It is probably evident from that fact that the last post was a year ago, and written for a different website, that I am terrible about blogging. I was better at it when I was younger. Actually, that's a lie. I was more consistent, and screaming my teenage angst into the void on a long … Continue reading Commitment Problems
