About a month ago, a new social media site cropped up all over Facebook called tsu (pronounced Sue). It seems to be a lot like Facebook. You can friend or follow people. You can customize the opening screen with banners and text. Here’s a screenshot of what the site looks like. … Read More

Tis the season to find sparkly gifs online and share them with your friends. I hope everyone has a happy, healthy, wonderful holiday.
Whacky Christmas Trees
I went online surfing for whacky Christmas trees. I found them on this site: http://www.thedistractionnetwork.com/dog-in-a-christmas-tree-suit/ The pillow tree. The Mountain Dew tree. The “something is missing” tree. The my dog wishes I’d get a hobby tree. … Read More

Going Down In Flames on Zazzle
After much cursing and a few glasses of Moscato, I was able to create a storefront on Zazzle. If you are interested, you can buy shirts, necklaces and about anything else you might want with the Going Down In Flames Logo. I’ll be adding more products in the future. If there is something you want, but don’t see, please leave a … Read More
Lego Death Star Conundrum
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. The kit comes with over 3000 tiny little ankle breaking parts. Anyone who has ever stepped on a Lego barefoot knows the ankle breaking part to … Read More
Dogs Wearing Antlers
Why is this article about dogs wearing antlers? While I don’t personally dress my three beasts for the holidays, I do like looking/laughing at photos of dogs who are wearing antlers or other assorted Christmas costumes. The last one is my favorite. I’m pretty sure he’s planning on using his owner’s shoes as a chew toy in the near future. Have … Read More
Christmas Shopping Procrastination
This year I am practicing the fine art of Christmas shopping procrastination. It’s not entirely my fault. My nephews are all old enough that they want very specific things like games I’ve never heard of or skylander characters from games I’ve never heard of. I’m about ready to cave and buy them gift cards with notes that read, “This is a … Read More

Snippets from Bridges Burned
You may have noticed my site has a new color scheme. I’m trying to go for something a little less eye-bleeding, but I love color. 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
Wednesday Snark
It’s make me laugh Wednesday. Time for a dose of Snark.
Scenes from Bridges Burned
Here is one of the many opening scenes that didn’t make it into Bridges Burned. Sometimes getting the opening right is the hardest part. 🙂 In her head, she imagined someone trying to explain the bizarre events in her life, “Surprise, you’re a shape-shifting dragon and you’re being blackmailed into attending the Institute for Excellence, where you’ll learn to control your … Read More
Wednesday WordPress WTH?
I turned in another round of edits yesterday for Bridges Burned, Book 2 in my shape-shifting dragon series. Then I decided to tackle a few issues I’ve been having with WordPress. I would like each post to appear in its own little area delineated by a box or a line or unicorns doing the backstroke in a sea of glittery … Read More
Bridges Burned-Another Scene Bites the Dust
I love how this scene highlights Jaxon and Bryn’s frenemy type relationship. The scene was part of a sub-plot in Book 2 which was vetoed. I may find a way to add it to Book 3. Until then, I thought I’d share it here. Bryn checked the time on her bedside clock. It was half past two. “Curfew doesn’t start until 8pm. We … Read More
Bridges Burned-cut scenes
I’m editing book 2 in my shape-shifting dragon series, Bridges Burned. Scenes are being cut and changed. I am drinking wine, eating chocolate, and hugging my shitzu. Here is a scene that won’t make the final cut. Bryn sipped her lukewarm coffee and grimaced. Yuck. She could ask for a refill, but doing anything that required her to stay at … Read More
