I had planned on releasing Thanmir War on November 5th. Well… The changes I alluded to in my post Panic have taken a little bit more time to implement than I had planned. And since I don’t want to release shoddy work, I’m pushing out the release date by two weeks. November 19th is the…

Stoneword Press
I’m in business! One of the recommendations for self-published authors is to create a business front to do all their publishing through. So I did just that. Well, alright. I didn’t do *just* that. Stoneword Press is an offshoot of a larger business: Tree City Media. Take the word larger with a grain of salt,…
Music and Pictures Update
Since the new addition to the family, time has been in short supply. And unfortunately, the opportunities to work on my computer are few and far between, which makes blogging a bit difficutl. But I’ve become quite adept at playing with my phone! I’ve previously mentioned my love for Instagram and Snapseed. I’ve decided to…
Parental Terror
1:37 A.M. Down the hall, my daughter coughs, cries and complains as Daddy cools her skin with a damp cloth. Her temperature has risen from a balmy 97 to a scorching 103. She’d clung to me when I’d put her to bed, burying her face in my neck with sad whimpers. Now she wails. I…

Oh Boy!
I’m writing this blog post on Tuesday 9/17 while sitting in a hospital bed, chatting with my husband, pitocin pumping into my veins. Joy. Like my daughter, my son is getting evicted. And looking at the time, it’s going to be the wee hours of the morning before he arrives. So until my next post,…
The Fox
Have you ever read one of those children’s stories and found yourself mimicking the animal noises? We have a couple of those for our daughter (including Terry Pratchett’s Where’s My Cow, which I highly recommend). Well, my husband passed a YouTube video to me that I just had to share. It’s the type of video…
That Photo Thing
I’ve never fancied myself a good photographer. I had joined Instagram a while back, and then left when they had the wording gaffe that said they would sell our pictures without our permission and we could do nothing about it. Well, they’ve since fixed their wording and–after some prodding from a friend–I rejoined. I think…
Rise and Shine
Have you ever strived to achieve? Maybe you want to run a marathon? Design a video game? Write a book? One thing is for certain: it takes time, hard work, and dedication to do something, and to do it well. Perhaps you don’t perform at your peak during the early morning hours. But if you…
