Earlier in the fall, I committed to reading and watching spooky/mysterious books and movies for Carl V.’s R.eaders I.mbibing P.eril VII challenge. I did the challenge. Well, I read more books than I pledged to, but I didn’t read The Unsuspected. Not sure why–except I was so enthralled by Rhys Bowen’s Royal Flush, I found […]

No one listens. On the phone, you hear only silence, while you’re doing your best to scream. No one listens, even if he’s (beloved, I am looking at you–and also, screaming in a whisper) across the room. You get really frustrated because–no one listens. You find out how much you have to say.

I look forward to Mondays usually. The rest of the world goes back to their places of business. I jump back into my ms. I get stuff done. Not in silence around here, but I can find relative silence in my favorite writing destinations around town. All that is true today. Except… This is usually […]

Guess what I was not planning to do this November. National Novel Writing Month. But I have this friend. I’m looking at you, Kimberly Dean. A couple of nights ago, she texted me these fateful words. “Are you doing Nano?” I had considered and rejected doing Nano, but who can resist leaping into a crazy […]
