My Moon Bunny? I didn’t think she would stay. I didn’t expect it, not really. I thought she’d go slipping off into the night in the same ethereal, mysterious way that she appeared. That isn’t what happened. The owner of the house next door, who rents it out, came by to mow down the lawn. He found Moon Bunny there. … Read More

I’m Ditching All Responsibilities Today
You know what? I just am. Things have been hard. I’ve been doing my best. Today the kids will eat cereal and I’ll chance being gunned down at the 7-11 Redbox in order to pick up The Last of Us. That’s right. I’m gaming. Enjoy, my friends.
Clarion West: I Just Met You, and This is Crazy
But I’m a writer. Sponsor me, maybe? So one of my goals is to eventually make it into the Clarion West workshop. I have never applied. It seemed like a dream too far to realize.

Miss Murder/Snow White.
I was gone for a week and nobody saw the rabbit, but the day after I returned, so did she. She’s currently hopping around my backyard as I type. Such a sweet little thing. I call her Omen. Or Giggity G. Or Thor. Or Bunniful. Or whatever the heck I want, because she’s here and she’s beautiful and I love … Read More
Private Dancer
I went to Siberia here in New Orleans to watch my lovely friend Harley May do her stand-up comedy act. (She killed it, by the way.) There was a burlesque show after the comedy, because apparently that’s how things roll here in the Big Easy. I was mistaken for a burlesque dancer. Perhaps it was the flowers in my hair, … Read More
