I was going to have a title that was so much more boring than that one, but thank goodness I came up with a better idea. DAY SAVED. So! For my Stateside luminaries, happy Independence Day! (For the rest of the world, happy 4th of July anywho. Love you.) One of the favorite summer holidays, … Continue reading Fictional Celebrations

In my on-going challenge to actually read all the books I've bought over my time in the MFA program I studied in, I'm trying to mix them in with all the other books I've gotten. FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING is one of the first books I got at Carlow, after hearing McCafferty speak. After 3 … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: FIRST YOU TRY EVERYTHING by Jane McCafferty
I bought this book at an event put on locally around Hallowe'en time for horror etc. authors from around the eastern Virginia/Maryland/etc area. Of course, any event at a brewery is going to get my attention because hey, beer and books! But honestly I took one look at this author's name and decided I needed … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: BLAKE TWENTY-THREE by Slade Grayson
Time: Thursday, 1:15 pm "Hey Hunts?" Zöe walked up behind me, and I looked over my shoulder. "86 arugula." I blinked. "We're seriously out of arugula? How did we run out of arugula?" She shrugged. "I have absolutely no idea. I don't even want to know. But just make sure that you let people know. … Continue reading Tales from the Café: Love It or Hate It
Time: Monday, 1:48 pm I was scheduled to come in at 2, but I figured jumping in a bit early was never going to be a problem. The rush was slowing down, and I could tell it had been a doozy, just from how much still needed to be done and cleared. James, our general manager … Continue reading Tales from the Café: Tabula Rasa
To be honest, I don't remember how I came upon this book. I'm guessing something popped up on either Facebook or Twitter from the author, offering the first two books in a trilogy for free, and I decided “well hey, why not, free books are good.” Because I can't find anything in my email prior … Continue reading BOOK REVIEW: UNSEEN by Stephanie Erickson
I've been thinking for a long time that I should share tiny flash fiction stories about where I work. There's a lot of great characters--both for good and for ill--and I've often been told that I should write about them. Obviously, for legal reasons, names of people/places/food items will be changed to not point a … Continue reading Serial Story Intro: Tales from the Café

Yes, yes, yes. Finally I've gotten off my butt and started posting the serial. Yay! The first chapter of Quest to Karantiri, my fantasy story, has gone live about an hour ago (if everything is going according to plan; I'm setting this up a few days in advance since I won't be available to post this … Continue reading Announcement: Beginning of the Serial!
I know I said I wasn't planning on writing much during my residency, but this topic came to mind and I couldn't pass it up. I have some free time between events at the moment, and as much as I'd love to keep revising this story, if I look at it again I'm going to … Continue reading Revision and the Self
