More Catching Up To Do

Holy smokes – it’s been a while! I attempted to start blogging again regularly in January, but clearly failed. So here I am, trying again to keep you all informed about what I’m up to. First, I’ve been involved with a group of writers online – the Wily Writers – for a while now. In […]

Resolutions

I typically don’t go in for New Year’s resolutions. It can be overly restrictive, particularly when things change – as they are wont to do in this day and age – and sometimes it can set a person up to fail by making sweeping declarations of all the things they intend to accomplish in the […]

Horrific Women

Besides being Black History Month, February is also Women in Horror Month. (Who decides these things?) I thought I’d take a moment to highlight some of my favorite women horror authors, because what’s better than having a new book to read, or finding a new favorite author? Lee Murray has been a major force in […]

Black is the New Black

To help kick off Black History Month, I’m highlighting several books I’ve enjoyed that were written by black authors, as well as some that I have on my to-read list. I’ve been heavily involved with a monthly virtual book club dedicated to steampunk and steampunk-adjacent books – Temporal Textual Talks, aka Virtual Steampunk Book Club […]

Snow Day!

When I was a kid, those two words sent an electric thrill up and down my spine. Free day off from school – Yay! Of course the neighborhood kids would all get up early and congregate, hoping to make the most of a school-free weekday. As an adult, snow days were much less exciting – […]
