It's fall, soon to be winter, and here in Southwest Virginia everything is dying back. Yet I've planted some new seeds in anticipation of spring and National Poetry Month, thanks to the generous funding of the City of Roanoke and the National Endowment of the Arts. In April of 2023, I will be coordinating a... Continue Reading →
Wow, can you believe it! It's 2023 already! And the end of January at that! We are 1/12th of the way through the year and my brain does not compute. I was in a bit of a reading slump this month, not for any reason except that I spent a good chunk of the beginning... Continue Reading →
I've been doing some naval gazing around my social media strategies over the past month or so, ever since my largest platform, Twitter, went through some major upheavals that may eventually result in the company going under.

In January-ish I made a post detailing my goals for 2022. The TL;DR of that post is: Finish a draft of Alabaster Futurescapes... Continue Reading →
Hey, folks! We've got a more normal-sized Reading Round-up this week, and not all of the books are horror! Congratulations! To be honest I've been a little off my feed as it were, since I've been very caught up with querying and some of the fun projects, but I enjoyed everything on this list and... Continue Reading →
I saw it. I loved it. One of the things I particularly loved about this Marvel movie was the fact that it didn't quite feel like a Marvel movie.
