POINT OF VIEW: Chocolate or Bust

by
Chocolate

Hey all… This week is all about writing motivation. 🙂 I have, give or take, about two and a half months to finish my next novel, at least to the first draft stage. It’s do-able, though it’s a month less than I thought I had originally – long story there. But what it means is that I have to sit my butt down in the chair every single day to write, and for a good, solid chunk of time. I am a master procrastinator. As a writer, that probably goes without saying LOL. I can put something off for days … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: The Darkness in Our Midst

Hey all, This has been a crazy week. My husband Mark and I run our own business creating directories for the queer community, which in turn means we get our own health care coverage on the individual market. On Friday morning, we watched in abject fear as the US government came *this close* to taking a step which, according to the Congressional Budget Office, would have increased our monthly payments by 20% a year for each of the next eight years. Despite the two GOP women who stood against the bill and John McCain’s last minute vote, we’re by no … Read more

REVIEW: The Great North – 4.5 Stars

by
Blog Header The Great North

Another great review for “The Great North“: Review Blog: Joyfully Jay Reviewer: Veronica I really loved this tasty fantasy. There’s a bit of the supernatural here, between the Old Ones making their wishes known and Dwyn’s visions of life at time of the nuclear holocaust. It was interesting and haunting, the small snatches of our culture superimposed on this desperate landscape. I found myself charmed by the colloquialisms that survived 300 years of “Telephone” in this new oral-history society. Dwyn and Mael are sweet and kind men who forge a new path that meshes with the indigenous cultures of yore, … Read more
