Take me home tonight, be my little baby.

I wish this had been around when I indulged in online dating.
Borders in the UK launches online dating service
I just think the guys that hang around a book-centric web site would be of higher calibre than the ones who slum it on all the other meet-up sites.  Of course, I lucked out and snagged a [...]

No time for losers ’cause we are the CHAMPIONS!

Remember that Win a Wedding contest with Lavender Magazine where I asked y’all to vote for us?  Well it worked.
WE WON!!!
The official announcement will be in a July issue of the magazine.  The prizes are pretty awesome and will go a long way towards defraying our costs. We’ve been waiting for the results before we [...]

Frightened of this thing that I’ve become

I’ve always loved the song “Africa” by Toto.

Or this one?

What’s with all the dancing merriment?  I finished draft 1.5 of the middle grade book I’ve been working on.  Wheeee!
It’s (tentatively) called THE LIBRIMANCER’S GRIMOIRE and it boasts the WORST LAST CHAPTER [...]

It’s the dirty story of a dirty man

This is the nightmare I had last night:
My former roommate came to visit and drop off some mail for me that had come to his place.  While sorting through the mail, I found a small, thin paperback with slightly jaundiced pages. It had a black cover with a strange design that reminded me of a [...]

He hates these cans!

Just wanted to share  a few things that are frustrating me beyond belief right now:

My new oven.  After nine years of cooking with gas (j’adore), I’m back to cooking with an electric stove.  Electric stoves and I have never gotten along. This new one seems particularly bent on destroying all evidence that I have even [...]

The windmills of your mind
