New Interviews and such!
May 18th, 2022
We've been slowly ramping up to the release later this year of Amaskan's Honor, Book III in the Boahim Trilogy, and with this has come quite a few interviews and author spotlights on a variety of blogs, podcasts, TV shows, and so on. Rather than individual posts about this first batch, I'm going to list them all below for you. I talk about a lot of new stories, books, ideas, and life so be sure toRead More...
The March from Hell
April 3rd, 2022
March has been…chaos. 2020 was hell. 2021 was heller. 2022 said, “Hold my beer!” in the worst way possible, especially last month. For those following along on social media, you know that Riley’s heart meds are killing his kidneys. Nothing we can do about it other than let the two organs fight and see who wins. You also know that DiNozzo may have cancer and gets his biopsy tomorrow. You might also know that I got diagnosedRead More...

With a Little Help from My Friends...
November 6th, 2020
I'm going to be offline (except for cell) for a bit as my computer has a hardware failure. Due to Covid-19 and being high risk for it, my machine is being mailed back to Apple for hardware repair and diagnostics. Then it will have to be mailed back to me before I can use it again. This could be 1-2 weeks or more. That means no updates here, no comics, no newsletters, etc. In the meantime, I'mRead More...
The Letter U
September 18th, 2020
I saw a post today where someone was talking about how their memories of RBG were stolen and replaced by fear, by those who would destroy our country. I found it a poetic post, but my partner's response was, "But they want us afraid." So I began thinking about it, and I realized that after my fear, like someone grieving, my feelings shifted to anger and motion. And so I did what I always do, IRead More...

Day 171
August 7th, 2020
Welcome to Day 171 of quarantine...at least for me and my partner. That's 5 ½ months of isolation as we haven't left our house expect to drive the car and recharge its battery every few weeks. Not even to grocery shop. Everything is done via delivery for us. I'm one of those who's high risk--not because of age but because I'm immunocompromised due to my Sjogren's and asthma. As the rest of the United States (at least partsRead More...

March 26th, 2020
I'm being published on the moon! No, really! I am! So how in the hell did that happen, you ask? Well, Arizona State University is working with NASA on a project called LunaH-Map, which you can read more about here: https://lunahmap.asu.edu/ The head of the team is Dr. Craig Hardgrove, who is a long time and huge fan of the Destiny video game series that my husband works on.
