I am postponing my Tuesday, June 2, event with FoxTale. I hope they will be able to reschedule and will be sure to post details if they are. Thanks for understanding.

Things have been so heartbreaking recently. Not just recently, of course, but they seem so much WORSE right now. I have a small platform which, to me, means I have to use it for good. That means standing with our Black citizens unreservedly. There is a lot of work to do in this country and… Read More

So, one of the biggest challenges with this quarantine has been provisioning the household. I never realized how much STUFF we need to take in on a regular basis until I had to have every bit of it delivered. I’ve reconsidered a lot of things–I have switched to reusable Swedish cloths and bar towels instead… Read More

Hope all of you are keeping well. The lovely folk at Strong Sense of Place invited me to chat about my favorite atmospheric books, so without further ado, I hope you enjoy!

My allergies are playing havoc with my head right now because all the neighborhood trees are having an… Read More
