Been kind of a this and that sort of last few days. I hope to do a second blog post later today about all the pretty flowers that have been blooming out on the property. We’ve had a tremendous number of birds this spring. I’m filling the feeders every day at this point. I counted […]

As some of you may or may not know, I tend to be a productive person. I always have a lot to do, and I get a lot done. One of my life issues, as it were, is finding that work/life balance. I’m fortunate, I work for myself. That is also unfortunate, because I’m a

Yes, for one more day the first three books in the Seattle Trolls trilogy are free! Free! Free! So if you’re interested in a fun, light read that’s kind of silly, while at the same time explores concepts of family and acceptance, jump right in! And a big thank you to everyone who has already

YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! The second book in the Troll-Wars trilogy is now available! I had so much fun writing this book. It’s a “plot coupon” book in some ways, with the main character having to go collect items. What that meant was that I got to go explore a lot of really different, whacked

Yesterday, I finished novel number thirty nine. 39?!?!???!!!??? Yeah, I’m kind of boggled by that number as well. If everything goes well, I’ll start and finish novel number forty next week. And start novel number forty one the week after that. So I thought I’d do a writing process blog thingy, as I have a

…is the one you’ll do. I already knew this. It just really came home to me again this week. For the past six months or so, I’ve been using the 1-on-1 coaching from Nerd Fitness. Before I get any further, let me just say this: I *love* Nerd Fitness. I think this is one of

Figured I’d post some of the pictures I’ve taken recently of the flowers that I’ve either planted or have just sprung up. So – LOTS of pictures! 

Like last spring, I have a few little fruit flies buzzing around the tiny house currently. This is a problem. A big problem. A serious problem. I have a composting toilet. One little fruit fly can easily become dozens if they get in there. Like last spring, I took it seriously, and have managed to
