Tangent as seen in Frozen
This is a Tangent I break off into the review of Broken. It is so long, I created a new post. Here is the review of Frozen if you wish to see. I grew up watching women in my area joke, laugh, kid about “changing” their husbands. “Training a man.” It was the one […]
Original Fan Art Page
This post is the original “Fan Art” Page before I cleaned it up. I didn’t feel like sorting it so I just threw it up here as is. Click here for a glance at the Contests I am a writer. A dancer, musician, singer, composer, pianist, novelist, and poet with a strong background in theater. […]
Breaking it Down
Bit by bit, my therapist and I have been pulling apart my personality. Like a ball filled with hundreds of slip knots, gently—and some days not so gently—we tug at the strings and watch the ball fall apart, one knot at a time. The results are always the same. There is a moment of comprehension […]
Dear Kitten
This article needs cat photos! There! That’s better! Ailuros + Phile = Ailurophile (Cat Lover) I conducted this etymological research about ten years ago then boasted my accomplishment. “I love cats so much, I looked up the Greek word for “cat” just so I could call myself an Ailurophile.” A year later, I realized there […]

It’s cold here!
20 May 2015 in New York and it is 45 F degrees outside! I am wearing socks and lounge pants under a floor-length knit skirt with a “BAZINGA” t-shirt and a bathrobe. WTF!? Oh, and I turned the heat on. Grrrrr…
This Weekend
I just realized in five days, I’m going to be waking up to campfire coffee and flame roasted goat cheese on toast! And dinners will consist of steak on a stick! That’s right! My husband and I spear steaks and cook them over the camp fire for dinners. OCH! SO GOOOOOOD! I will be sure […]
Macabre Romance?
Some thoughts I’ve been kicking around… Most of you…all of you…may have noticed the sudden evolution taking place with genre writing since authors went to indie. Indie publishing allows authors to break away from conforming genre titles like fantasy, romance, history, and sci-fi. Now, authors can create that “Gothic sci-fi historical fantasy romance murder mystery” […]
