I have a lot of obligations in my life. All of them huffing on my doorstep before the sun even breaks, panting and frothing from their mouths, waiting to chase me through the day like a rabid pack of wolves. From the kids’ music lessons to their homework, the pets, the laundry and dishes; a …Read More
Waiting Patiently to Bring Sassy Home

Random Thoughts About the Writing Life
I have a lot going on at the moment, in my writing life and in real life. Yes, I do see a distinct separation between the two lives, even though one tends to muddy up the other from time to time. When I’m writing, I’m a writer. I put on my writerly cloak and think …Read More
