Today’s #LetterMo Postcard…

My month of letters is still going strong! Here’s today’s postcard [which, of course, I have to tuck into an envelope]. Mostly I’m sending these as a surprise to readers who have ordered books from me, but I’m also sending ’em to those who make special requests. So, if you’d like a plaid button orContinue reading “Today’s #LetterMo Postcard…”

Book Review: The Accidental Alchemist

It’s been pretty quiet around here lately, as I have been working on the next book — and it’s a doozy.

Festive Flash Fiction Day 25: Alphabet String

For the month of December, my goal was to post a piece of festive flash fiction here to the blog every day.

Festive Flash Fiction Day 23: Xe and We — A Love Story

Today we cover both W and X, and I offer proof-positive of the lengths to which I will go to avoid using ‘xmas’ as a word.  Chemistry puns… whee! Happy Christmas Eve Eve!   Xe and We: A Love Story There’s nothing like a winter walk. Wading through snow, trail of footprints behind. And theContinue reading “Festive Flash Fiction Day 23: Xe and We — A Love Story”
