As some of my readers know, I ocassionally guest blog over at The Superficial Gallery, usually about my love for Destination Truth and Josh Gates. Recently, Acadia and Vange, the sites kickass owners, started a new Hometown Pride Contest. Since I’m from Maine, my city of choice was Portland. I can’t use Lebanon because, a: it’s […]
I have some very exciting news for those of you who love to read fantasy novels. My very good friend, author Jennifer Hudock is holding one freaking awesome giveaway right now. And you can be a part of it. If any of you are followers of Ms. Hudock, then you may have listened to her […]
As some of you may already know, today is a very important day to me because nine years ago today I gave birth to my daughter, Mikala. The day she was born, my life changed forever. She made all the hard times in my life up to that point seem not so important, insignificant. Without her, […]
For the past seven months or so I’ve been complaining ENDLESSLY about my laptop. It runs slow as molasses. It freezes up. It makes crazy noises. Programs don’t work right at least half of the time.

This ebook would hopefully help my fellow Mainers, which is important to me. I have to tell you, though, that it hasn’t been easy finding the time to work […]
Over the past month or so, I’ve been thinking more and more about the future of my site and the content it will contain. When I originally launched it through Blogger, it was a place for me to talk about my writing and my favorite TV shows. Over time, though, its direction has changed. Finally, […]
