So I dreamed I wrote a blog post. And, unlike many of my writing dreams, where I come up with a “brilliant” solution to whatever problem I’m having with my manuscript in my sleep, only to wake up and realize that, beyond the limits of dream-logic, the solution doesn’t make any sense, this blog post [...]

Killer Unicorns!
Subtitle: Pinch Me Redux.
This announcement has been a long time coming, but then again, I’ve been working on my “secret project” for a few years now. I’ve imagined this post so many times. Finally getting to make it is a dream come true.
Forget everything you ever knew about unicorns…

A Round Up, Series, and Paul
The family emergency and recent travels of May mean that I missed a lot of the latest blogging brou-ha-has. Lucky me, right?

Living it Up
I had a mind-blowing week, and it only seems appropriate to cap it off with an out of this world weekend. Thus it is that Sailor Boy and I are even now enjoying the charms of a gorgeous B&B. The rooms are spectacular (I needed a ladder to climb into my bed last night). The [...]

Neptune Noir (Giveaway)
(Long entry, but there’s a giveaway at the end!)
In 2004, I was working on a hurricane clean up crew in south Florida. One night, after my shift, I caught a television program unlike anything I’d ever seen. It was hip, dark, smart, funny, complex, fascinating. It was about a teenager in California whose life had [...]

Endings and Giveaway Winners
I’ve gotten a bunch of emails in the last few days asking me what I thought of the finale for Gilmore Girls and of the fact that they are canceling Veronica Mars.
Okay, confession time: I don’t watch Gilmore Girls. Well, that’s not entirely true. Last fall, my friend Marathon Girl, who is a huge GG [...]
