Blog postA couple of months ago while browsing my twitter feed, I happened on a film preview for the next movie in the “Fast and Furious” franchise. I love these movies – action movies are my “go to” for pure escape from day-to-day craziness. Especially when the “good guys” are folks on the fringes who don’t fit into “regular” society… I’m a sucker for a really well done anti-hero, which explains my love of the Riddick series, too.
Anyway, I liked the tweet, and retweeted it, as I sometimes do -
Blog postOur cat, Claudia, crossed the rainbow bridge this Saturday, April 2, 2022. This poem is for her:
Claudia, I have carried your frail body, light and thin to the water dish and the food dish, held you up as you wobbled for balance, so you could eat and drink. You were as air, and I brought you to your favorite place in the window, to watch the tiny dinosaurs and the birds. But once you left us, passing into the universe, your shell became heavy - as if it was absorbing the weight of my grie -
Blog postIf you like tongue-in-cheek stories, I just published a short twisted fairy tale called “Roderick, the Zombie Slayer” for Kindle. It is a fun-filled romp through the Enchanted Forest, with an elf from Santa’s place up north, on a mission to track down and dispatch some errant reindeer (who also happen to be zombified). If you read it, I’d love to know your thoughts!
I’d especially like to hear if you’d like to read more about Roderick, and his cohorts.

Blog postMy husband described my productivity like this: an inch worm scrunching up and then suddenly bursting forward. Slow scrunch, burst of movement. And I have to admit that is pretty accurate.
I tend to work on a lot of projects all at the same time, and once in a while, they all finish in close proximity.
Part of that is that I sometimes dither about the details. This fairy house I have been working on started out a very different color, and then I didn’t like it so I painted ove -
Blog postEveryone who creates, has their own “process”. I go from project to project like a little bee. Buzzing around – painting a piece of a book nook; outlining a story arc; gluing vines on a fairy house; writing some background notes for a character; sketching a collage idea – you get the picture. From the “outside” looking in, I might appear to have an attention deficit disorder, and that could be (although I have not been diagnosed) – I simply have a lot of ideas and a lot of projects and I enjo

Blog postWhen I was a child, getting mail addressed to me – specifically – was magical. It was proof that I existed to someone outside…outside of my family, outside of school, outside of church. Someone spent time to write to ME.
The excitement was palpable. A card, a post-card, a letter – it all affirmed that I WAS someone. And it was always a welcomed and enjoyable experience.
As I got older, I enjoyed writing cards, and letters, and post-cards. I took great care then (and now) when -
Blog postYou've known all along, in your heart of hearts that this day would come. Days and months can pass and you will only reach out when you need my mercy, knowing full well that I, seeing a need that I can fill, or a problem I can fix - will usually do it. And over the time we have known each other, not once have you asked how I am. Not once have you asked if I was in need. In point of fact, you only speak to me as a prelude to a request. And so we have come to this moment where my heart can no lon

Blog postSome years feel longer than others…this last two, 2020 and 2021 felt like a decade. And this month, was a long, long month. I had my booster shot – got sick, powered through it in time to have a holiday visit with extended family (starting on one of the worst rain storm days) and then when I got home, got sick again and then our washer/dryer combo finally bit the big one after hubby had repaired it a couple of times over the years.
Today, the last day of 2021 – I am still on the mend -
Blog postI watch you as the ghosts you carry orbit around you, their gravity pulling you in many directions, the ebbs and flows of your tides carry your emotions, washing ashore, sometimes quietly and sometimes with great crashes. I watch you as each ghost possesses you in turn, a smile, a grin, a tear - voices tumbling out each vying to be heard. They know I see them. They know I hear them. They know that the vessel that is you would be empty without them and yet... Still they crave more, more

Blog postMarcellus, Yorkshire Terrier – acrylics on a 10 by 10 inch canvas Winter Holidays are mostly focused on holiday gifts and greetings. In our household that means I am making gifts and creating the year’s holiday greeting card. I have been doing a little ghost writing, too. But that is mostly to keep my brain in writing mode, when I am busily painting most of the days.
I hope to balance it all out once the new year rolls around again, and then I can finish writing some pieces and maybe
