The Rose of the Wind

Time for a quick update before I start packing for the con! Things are going well overall, with no major excitement. Mom is doing fine....

Once again, I’m late in updating. I guess I could say that is partly because there’s not much going on, which sounds totally...

Nothing really exciting to write about this go-round; I just thought I should toss up a brief post to say hi. I am rediscovering...

Sorry it’s been so long since I updated. Real writing has eaten much of my free time in recent days, and I could not be happier about it....

Happy Friday the 13th! I’m about to say something that makes people either hate me, or feel my forehead for fever. I love Friday the...

It’s been a good while since I actually had a holiday. As in, a day off, spent in enjoyable activities with family and/or friends. For...
