I made a meme based on Stephen King’s IT, which is one of my favorite books of all time. This was Marsh being a goofball.
Mind Meld: Our Favorite Graphic Novels
I was delighted to be invited to the Barnes and Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog to discuss my favorite graphic novel! “What, Mercedes, you have a favorite?” Why yes, I do, and it’s so insanely beautiful that I could lick it. And perhaps I have, because not only do I own it, but it’s signed by the author. One day … Read More
Stokercon Wrap-up with Pictures!
Stokercon was wonderful and busy and bursting with people I love and people I’ll love as soon as I get to know them better. What a cool experience! It took place on the Queen Mary, which was a phenomenal big ship. It was even sweeter in banana split form. I spent time with part of the Gamut staff and other … Read More
Alice Is A Lush
We know why she saw what she did in Wonderland. Look at the size of her bottle!
Miss Murder Asks For Help…And It's AWESOME.
It’s perfectly fine to ask for help…unless you’re me, that is. Or, I suspect, you. If your mother, spouse, friend, or sibling needed help, wouldn’t you leap to give it?

I got him settled, the power inexplicably went off (why?),and then I managed to get Middlest to her … Read More

Miss Murder's Easy Finnish Cake Recipe
Boys and Girls, today I am going to impart the wisdom that Sister Kaameriinaan taught me in Finland! (Yes, I’m nostalgic for Finland. We lived there briefly ten years ago.) She invited Niko and I over for a day of baking and drinking Pepsi Light in order to keep us out of Luke’s hair while he studied for his … Read More
Teach Your Children Well
I love this picture. My husband was making Zuppa Toscana soup, and he showed Littlest how to help. Sometimes I forget they’re going to be Big Strong People someday, and need to know these things. How can they change the world for the better if they can’t take care of themselves?
