Hey, happy Friday! This story is one I wrote before Christmas, one night by the fire. My house was dead cold — only heated in one room, with plywood for windows and the wind whistling through the walls. We were sitting by the fire, when I saw a tiny spider scuttle out onto the endContinue reading “Bedtime Story: THE SUICIDAL SPIDER”

Modified from a photo by jeshua.nace [CC-BY-SA-2.0], via Wikimedia Commons   Here’s this week’s story. Part poem, part recipe, all parts culpable. It’s funny — the internet has been abuzz since yesterday about the Kony video, now really a meme, about a terrible man who does terrible things. Lots of back and forth on theContinue reading “Bedtime Story: HOW TO GROW A TERRORIST”

Well, I had a great idea for a post on bullying this week, and how we pay lip-service to shutting it down, all the while encouraging it in all kinds of official places, but… fail. Ran out of week. Have to save it for another day.  In the meantime, it’s Friday night and that meansContinue reading “Bedtime Story: A COUPLE OF NAILS”

modified from a Creative Commons licenced photo posted in Flickr by Southern Fairytale [Rachel] Yep. Another one of those weeks — too much going on to blog between Friday posts. However, as I note in the podcast, I once again have a kitchen, at long last! A light is shining… distant still, but hopeful. ThisContinue reading “Bedtime Story: THE EX-GIRLFRIEND”

from a creative commons-licenced photo by Basmet78Here we are — Friday night and time for another bedtime story. This one is a little more topical than those that have come before. I’d better state — for the record, and for those who don’t know me personally — that I can almost always be found inContinue reading “Bedtime Story: THE CURE”

Great fun last night at the North Vancouver Public Library, where I did the first ever guerilla pj reading of a few bedtime stories. The crowd comported themselves with great decorum during the anti-striptease element of the program [hardly any yelling or hooting — yeah!] and seemed to enjoy the readings, too. Big thanks toContinue reading “Guerilla Pyjama Bedtime Stories Event”

I’ve run away for a few days, and am ensconced [with my canines] in a tiny cabin on the coast. This is to facilitate both getting my house repairs closer to finished, AND [hopefully] a big push on completing the edit on my Ceilidh novel. I’m wearing my SiWC t-shirt for inspiration, dogs are walked,Continue reading “Sequestered…”

Man. You know it’s been a busy week when there are NO written posts between podcasts! This week, we continue the adventures of Hamish and Ally Knight, as they leap into the dark abyss… It’s a short one this week. Hope you enjoy!       And, as always,     More, soon….    Continue reading “Bedtime story — THE YOUNG KNIGHT: The Archer, pt 2”

This week’s story is more or less aimed at my own generation — it’s a little creepy in parts for the younger ones, and besides — not sure any of them can appreciate the whole ‘upcoming need for magnifyers’ angle. So, maybe a pre-listen if you plan to share it with the younger whippersnappers, okay?Continue reading “Bedtime Story: NEW GLASSES”

Interesting morning. [Indulge me here — this might take a minute, but it’ll be worth it by the end.] The brakes on my Jeep are doing something odd right now, and I had an appointment to take it in this morning. This was thwarted by the expected deluge falling, instead, as snow last night. It’sContinue reading “Dinner with the Goddesses…”
