We’re midway through the Olympics and I’m enjoying them—while wondering how many more winter games can exist in this warming world. But that’s not what this blog is about. I’ve discovered women’s ice hockey. Well, I’ll be damned! That’s the game I used to love! But with women! I’m sure women have been playing ice […]
I’m sure much has been written about Diana Rigg’s turn as Mrs. Emma Peel in the 1960s British TV show The Avengers. I’m rewatching it now and I have my own thoughts. I first watched this show when I was a kid. My dad and I loved it. The rest of the family didn’t care […]
Yeah, I know, it’s been awhile. But no one noticed because since I forbade third-party sharing, including scraping my blog to train AI, it gets no notice. At least that’s my theory. For the record, this blog and all my writing are 100 percent by me, a human. So…what have I been up to? I’ve […]
My books have never been banned as far as I know, only because I’m too small a fish in the publishing pond. My books all have LGBTQIA+ themes, so they would be banned if they ever caught anyone’s attention. I should be so lucky? The topic of book bans itself is fraught. Google the term […]

Ha! Looks like I drafted this but never published it. So not “Last month” but actually in December, for I Heart SapphFic’s Reading Challenge week of Sci-Fi, I was interviewed about my novel Endurance. If you need a break from current events and would like to get away to another star system, check it out. […]
I woke up yesterday morning with many thoughts racing through my mind. And this was before the shocking ambush of an ally in the Oval Office. That often happens, and it’s what gets me out of bed. Usually the thoughts swirl around whatever I’m writing—a cool plot twist, a key conversation, the realization or solution […]
I’m a lousy blogger, which is fine since you all have more than enough in your daily feed to keep you thinking, laughing, obsessing—whatever you need. It’s not that I have nothing to say. I have more than enough—see the daily feed above. I just can’t settle on one topic long enough to say what […]
