The furniture is moved around, the Christmas tree is lit up but not yet decorated, the dog is curled up peacefully in her bed next to it. Snow flitters past the window and hot chocolate warms my throat. Suddenly every hair on my arm stands straight up as I feel cold fingers brush along my…Read more Ghosts
Grey Days
These grey, cold days are not very inspiring. They don’t inspire me to open windows, go outside or even leave my bed. I do believe that I could be a hibernating creature. In spite of all that, I do pull back the curtains, I do go outside but only when I have to and I…Read more Grey Days
Happy Holidays, A Storm is coming
Congratulations everyone! We’ve made it through the first holiday of the holiday season with our stomachs only slightly stretched out and hopefully lots of love for our extended family intact. Only one more huge feast, or at least one more day of feasts with full houses to go and then on to the kiss at…Read more Happy Holidays, A Storm is coming
The First Snow
What a gorgeous day, from inside my warm snug home, I can look out the window and see how brightly the sun reflects off the snow. The sky is a brilliant blue instead of the depressing grey that has been up there for the last few days. Miss Lilly, my four pound Yorkie, had not…Read more The First Snow
The Last Pearl: 10 Pearls Final Part

Alien War with your Coffee?
After voting today I decided I would reward myself with a coffee, not a regular coffee I could make at home but some frothy, rich concoction that only a coffee shop could provide. I drove the ten minutes to my favorite coffee place and I was looking at some of the pastries they had displayed…Read more Alien War with your Coffee?
Short and Fun
Good morning everyone, Sorry I have been off the grid for a bit. I started not one but two different transcription jobs. I am not very fast at it yet and they take up quite a bit of my time but I will get quicker and have more time for doing what I love. Happy…Read more Short and Fun
Sneak Peek: Chapter from Goblins
Reminiscing: Avta As I drove away from the station I thought about the aliens possessing those men. I should’ve realized when I touched him that the body snatcher wasn’t a human. Humans show us feelings when we touch them. He showed intentions, plans. We learn something different from each organism we touch. It…Read more Sneak Peek: Chapter from Goblins
What do aliens look like?
When I was writing my book Goblins I had the hardest time coming up with what the scary aliens would look like and this is because aliens really scare me. I actually wrote the whole thing and filled those details in later. I started thinking about why aliens scare me so much. I can handle…Read more What do aliens look like?
