2019 has been tough. I got sick not once, but twice. I’ve got some eye problems going on. My beloved Riley dog got cancer and died so fast we didn’t even have time to process it. I had to cancel going to a reader conference I love.  I had/have three deadlines right in a row…

The “funniest family on paper” is back! And yet I almost forgot about release day for JAKE’S DJINN, because we added a new member to the family this weekend, and I’m sleep deprived and madly in love.    Meet Rosie, the 8-week old pug puppy! As you can tell, it was love at first snuggle…

Vote!! My first-time voter and I did — and I only had to drive 5 hours round trip to bring her home to vote, so don’t even try the excuse that it’s inconvenient!  Here we are:   And since I’m so happy and in honor of my birthday (the 9th), I put January in Atlantis…

Hello, my darlings! Two things: First: I’ve discovered I hate traveling. I just did a week-long trip to Ohio that included two 800-mile drives (there and back, not random side trips to New Hampshire or something, because that would be weird), and I hated almost every minute of the travel part.
