I think by now you’ve picked up on the fact that I like fantasy novels. Also history, and sometimes legends. So it’s no surprise that when I walked by this book at my local library I was immediately intrigued. The Arthurian legends have fascinated me since I was a kid, and the more I learn…
It’s been brought to my attention that it’s November 12, and I’ve only posted twice in this entire month. Not that I necessarily needed the reminder because, as any writer/blogger/creative type knows, when we aren’t creating, we’re thinking about creating. Stressing about it.

I don’t really get political in my blog posts. Despite what day today is, that’s not going to change. Sorry, not sorry. As much as I like debating policy and having engaging, interesting discussions with people about our views, that kind of thing has become really difficult over the past few years. I know what…

“Are you hearing anything now?” Adam asked excitedly. I told him I hadn’t and that I usually didn’t, that it was a rare occurrence as of late. It was a lie. As I’d watched the man and his fiancé walk through Quebrada’s front door Claire had cautioned, “Be careful with…
Dan and I are home this weekend, mostly for his youngest sister’s wedding, but a good friend of mine, a member of the Gangsters, was also performing in a stage version of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He’s playing Eddie/Dr. Scott, and last night was opening night; I couldn’t miss it. If you’ve never seen…
I’ve talked about fear already during this creepy high holy season, but the fears I mentioned weren’t paranormal in nature.

I haven’t talked much about this here, but I don’t have children. I don’t want children and never have. The thought of being responsible for the survival of a tiny, helpless tyrant on a full-time basis is basically my worst nightmare. As such, the Halloween season seems to be the ideal time to talk about…
Hello internet friends! Did you miss me? It’s been quite a week. Last weekend my wonderful, beautiful friend Alisha got married in the Adirondacks. It was as cold as… something really cold… but it was beautiful and fun and I can’t imagine a better time. I got to spend quality time dancing and laughing with…
