This is a painting of what we were looking at while our car was being stolen at the beginning of October, as we hiked in a lonely, empty desert park. Ours was the only car in the parking lot, and it was visible from the highway. When we came back from our walk, the car… Continue reading What you make of it

Well, Ageless has been out for several months now and all this time I've been trying to think of what to write next. For awhile I thought I had something; I was all ready to dive in seriously, write every day, set a word count goal, etc... but it got away from me. A stolen… Continue reading Back to Painting

The other night my husband and I finally watched The Batman. I say finally not because I’m a big fan and I’ve been eagerly waiting, but because my twenty-year-old son really liked it and has been telling us we should see it. When Alexander recommends a movie, I listen, even though our tastes are different.… Continue reading Seen Any Good Movies Lately?

Why write about writing when you can write about something else?

Reading over my old posts, I feel like an archaeologist delving into ancient history. In the last two years, so much has happened and so much has changed.  For now, I’ll only talk about what’s happened in my writing. I'm glad that She Made a Monster is still out there, still selling best around Halloween.… Continue reading Hello, I’m back

It was the longest thing I’d ever written, and I was terribly excited about finally getting it done and pulling all the story threads together. And when it… Continue reading Reality Check

Today was the one year anniversary of the publication of She Made a Monster. Yep, one year ago today I finally became a published author! And it’s been a pretty great year. But a lot of things really haven’t changed, and I thought I’d list some of those. —I still get ridiculously excited when someone… Continue reading One Year of SMAM!!!

Look what came in the mail today! The first foreign edition of She Made a Monster (or, as I call it, SMAM!) Somehow this is almost more thrilling to see than the original book--I guess because it's so familiar and foreign at the same time. I wish I could read it--I wonder if it was… Continue reading Gained in Translation!

I bought this beautiful teapot from a ceramic artist at a sale in Walnut Creek... ... She sold it to me for a fabulous price because the sale was almost over. She said she really didn't care that much about making money from her pieces, because she just liked to make things and she wanted… Continue reading Brewing Inspiration…
