Stuck In The Middleton With You

First off, yes, I know it’s a yarp title. But it was either that or “Don’t Wed On Me” and THAT one looks like I might just be writing about someone’s bladder control problem. I’ve whinged and carped about this wedding for two weeks now over on Facebook and I couldn’t believe myself when, around [...]

This One’s For You, My Christian Writer Friends

Make ready all those spec fic submission docs youve been saving for a rainy day. Maybe Marcher Lord is having a wider impact than we first presumed. Thanks, Aunt B. for passing the word along.

The One Name That Better Not Get Mentioned In My Presence

I promise you I’m generally non-violent. I admit that I have been known to throw things at the TV when someone tries to sound smart by saying “That’s between you and I.” I also freely admit to hollering loudly when someone talks about a governmental solution to a social problem.

It’s Like Praying To The Moon

I hadn’t wanted to write a post like this because usually when I read posts like this they’re always kind of snarky and I wanted to avoid the snark. But I’ve been popping over to Facebook every now and again this evening and I’m struck by how today is Earth Day and Good Friday and [...]

And This Is Forever

Two Good Fridays ago was quite possibly one of the ten worst days of my life. I hesitate when I try to explain it, because if I were to say “my child died” every person with a human child will rush in to say it isn’t the same. And I’m sure for you it isn’t. [...]
