Catching up This is going to be a brief post this week (assuming that it happens this week). The internet has been wonky and the “To-Do” list today has been looming, but I totally handled it. Like. A. Boss. Really. So, what have I been up to? Let me break it down for you. Chasing …
Hi there Everybody! Guess who gets to host one of the stops on David B. Coe’s Children of Amarid Blog Tour? I do! Woo Hoo! On top of that, David agreed to a little Q & A Session. How cool is that? So, without further ado, here is my conversation with David B. Coe. Me: …

Passwords. Where I put my keys. Where I left my phone. Where I parked the car. What I went into a room for. That I’m alone when I’m speaking out loud. Song lyrics. That there’s bacon in the oven.* That I’ve still got coffee in my cup…and it’s gotten cold. To get up and move …
(To be sung to the tune of “A Pirate Looks at Forty” by Jimmy Buffet) Mother, mother blank page I have heard you call. I’ve wanted to ride on your potential since I was three feet tall. You’ve seen it all. You’ve seen it all. Watched the folk that wrote you switch from page to …
Today, I want to talk about something called “Crutch Words”. If you’d asked me about what those were prior to my Whirlwind* tour of conventions and writer’s retreats, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you. I’d have had a good guess, maybe, but that’s about all it would have been. A Crutch Word is …
Well, this is new. A middle-of-the-week post? My schedule got all muddled over the weekend, so here we are. Right on the heels of ConCarolinas, I went down to Beautiful Lake Wylie, North Carolina for my yearly writer’s retreat. My writers group (We collectively refer to ourselves as the Roaring Writers) does this once a …
I got back from Balticon this year, I was on the ground for two days, and I took off again for… ConCarolinas ConCarolinas was the first convention I have ever attended and it is completely the fault of the Magical Words family – and I do not use the word “Family” lightly. Although I don’t live …
Before I get started, I want to take a few seconds to send a wish to all you fathers out there: Happy Father’s Day! May your “To Do” list be lighter than mine, your grill more bountiful, and your beer colder…though not too much colder. Frozen beer isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. So, …
Hi there, Everyone! Just a quick note to let you know where (and when) I’m going to be during the convention. There was a small kerfluffle with scheduling and I am waiting to hear which panels I will actually be on. Honestly, though, I’l probably still attend them anyway. I’m going to take the stance …
Before I get into this week’s post, I wanted to drop in a quick update about what’s coming up and where I’m going to be. May 27th through May 30th Balticon 50 I don’t have a schedule yet for the panels I’ll be on but, when I find out, I’ll post them here. I do …
