There is a definite learning curve when it comes to writing and you learn things about yourself along the way. I learned that I’m obsessed with food. Have I always enjoyed food? Yes. Do I fantasize about being able to suck down an entire package of chocolate covered double stuffed mint Oreo’s without consequences? Yes. Did I realize my characters … Read More

I dream of one day walking a red carpet wearing a fabulous dragon ensemble. The odds of this happening are zero to none. But just in case I get the … Read More

One of my nephews asked for the Star Wars Lego Death Star for Christmas. I love my nephew, but the Lego Death Star costs $399.00, which kind of blows my budget for xmas presents.

I’m about ready to cave and buy them gift cards with notes that read, “This is a … Read More

If you’ve seen the photo of my banner you’ll notice my walls are turqouise. At least the ones in the foyer and kitchen are. You can see a slice of the opposite wall which is … Read More
