I'm Guest Teaching at UNLV Today!

They had me last year and I’m delighted to be invited back. It’s very, very cool. I’m so inspired by these new students who have hope and so much unbridled enthusiasm in their eyes. I just want to suck it up, all Hannibal Lecter style. With a side of fava beans. Wish us luck!    

Happy Easter! Traumatize Your Children!

After coloring eggs and hiding them out in the yard, we decided to watch this happy little children’s cartoon about bunnies. What can possibly go wrong? Happy Easter, my friends. May you spend time with those you cherish.

I Have A Shoe Fetish. I Know.

I can’t help it.     If only they weren’t perfect and charming and wonderful, then perhaps I could stay away. What are some of your favorite things? I’d love to hear!

Shotgun Logic's Review of Little Dead Red

This is a pretty awesome review. Earlier I was interviewed by Shane D. Keene  (which was a fun interview, by the way) and now he put up a wonderful review of Little Dead Red. This just makes me happy. I love this story. It’s the little story that could. Take a second and swing by, if you can!

Miss Murder's New Love

It’s the craziest thing. One day I said, “Hey, I should learn to sew!” and so I did. And then I asked, “I wonder if I would like to make blankets?” Turns out I do. I do like to make blankets. Quite a bit. I made this lap quilt for my husband. Orange is his favorite color. It brings me … Read More
