Mom, I wanted to say Happy Birthday and I love you. And there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t thank whatever higher power is out there for allowing you to be born because without you there would be no me. And there would be no Mikala and Blake. And what kind of […]
No matter what day it is, I always have at least several different pieces of reading material that I’m making my way through. My current list as follows: 1- Jennifer Hudock‘s The Goblin Market 2- Linsly Donnelly’s Happy Go Local 3- Amanda Hocking’s Ascend (Part 3 of the Trylle Trilogy) 4- Jeff Lindsay’s Darkly Dreaming […]
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 […]
Like many moms, I often put myself on the back-burner and forget that my mental, physical and emotional well-being is as important as those of my family members. About two months ago, after staring longingly at my tub in the master bath for the umpteenth time, and wishing I could take a good long soak […]
One of my fellow WPLHers, Crystal, from The Self-Employed Writer, so graciously awarded me and 14 others with the Stylish Blog Award yesterday, which was really, really sweet.

Newsflash: OUR ECONOMY SUCKS! But you probably already knew that. Last night, I found out firsthand how much it truly blows. This month started out fantastic but it went to hell real quick like. And while I could easily bitch about the unexpected turn of events that last night delivered to me, I’m not going […]
Happy Saturday! Yesterday was a big day for those of us involved in the From the Dark Side Anthology. Why? Because it was the official release day. Prior to yesterday, Ms. Jenny sent each of us a copy of the anthology. I haven’t quite finished it yet, but I can tell you this, it’s full […]
As many of you know by now, Friday is the release date of the From the Dark Side Anthology. And I have to say, I’m VERY excited. This is the first time I’ve had a short story published, so it’s a big deal for me. How lucky am I to be included in a group […]
Today, when I woke up, I was greeted by quite a few birthday wishes. It was a nice way to wake up and begin the day. As I’ve thanked those who have wished me a great birthday, I’ve had time to reflect back on the past year. As those closest to me know, it hasn’t […]
