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!

My Favorite Quilt So Far!
So, yeah, it’s 10:00 at night and I just finished the thing. But it gives me so much joy! This quilt is made of new and thrifted materials. It’s filled with a low-loft batting and tied with yellow yarn. It’s backed with turquoise and it’s such a cheery blanket! I want to roll around on it. And I may! Whose to stop … Read More
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!
