Finishing up the packing for my trip tomorrow and trying to resist the urge to pack every Star Wars t-shirt I own. After my bit of a buying spree lately, that’s a LOT of t-shirts. I think I could get through most of a month without having to wash anything…and I still have a few
Oops, I haven’t posted in a while! Sorry about that. I don’t even have a good excuse! Life has been busy, but that’s almost always true. So, what’s been happening? Well, next week is Sirens is happening next week and our benefit anthology is out now! Heroes and Hellions is a collection of short stories and poetry
I was nine years old when Star Wars: A New Hope was released. I have very vivid memories of watching it in a movie theater in Brockport, NY. It was the beginning of a lifelong obsession, not just with Star Wars, but with the whole sci-fi genre. In my teens, Star Wars dominated my decorating
I’m not going to lie, this new job is killing me. I haven’t written more than a few words (of course, not on any of the things I have been writing, no, Brain decided that we needed more sci-fi in our writing and has offered me space!vampire!pirates…I don’t know sometimes…) and my stress level is

Last weekend I was in Austin celebrating a friend’s birthday, and getting to see a cousin I haven’t seen since we graduated high school together.

I am, most definitively, a woman. I have never been a “girly” woman. The most girly I get is the treat of having someone else color my hair for me, and even then, I have a pretty straightforward cut that is easy to style (or not) to keep it all pretty low maintenance. I am,
We have had one of the wettest winters I can remember since I moved to California in 2001. I love the rain, and I often miss the big booming thunderstorms of my childhood. Along with the rain, we’ve had a colder winter than I remember having in all that time…and for longer than I can
I’ve always had something of a love/hate relationship with the concept of cosmetics. On the one hand, I love how they can help me present an image of myself, on the other, I hate the work involved. In my teens, I never left the house without the minimum of foundation, mascara and eyeshadow. As I
About this time of year, I start to itch for travel. I want a weekend away, or a road trip or an adventure. It’s the same every year. The middle of February brings with it a need to do something, anything, as long as it is away from here. For a lot of years, I
