(NOTE: This was originally posted on my Facebook profile on March 1, 2025.) With everything that’s happened in the U.S. in the past couple of days (well, since January 20, really), I’m extremely thankful for werewolves. Yeah, that paragraph is a bit tongue in cheek. Anyone who knows me, knows I have a bit of READ MORE

A Love Letter to My Childhood
The book I’m currently working on, which is book 3 in my Ebb and Flow series (a spin-off of Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat that takes place primarily in Nova Scotia), is rapidly becoming a love letter to the summer cottage my Canadian grandparents (my mother’s parents) owned until I was 14 or so. I READ MORE
New Story!
This is going to be a short entry; I’m sick (yet again…the joys of working in childcare, the kids are wonderful but also germ factories) and don’t really have the brain power for a longer entry. I have a new short story! If you aren’t already subscribed to my newsletter, you can visit my Free READ MORE
Still Writing
I live in the United States. By now, I think everyone in the world knows what’s happening here. I’m privileged to live in a “blue” state, i.e. one where policies tend to be relatively liberal and actually in the best interests of most residents, but even here we’ve been seeing signs that the “executive” orders READ MORE
I Released a Book!
Of course, if you follow me, you probably already know that I released Bring on the Broccoli (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 7) on January 9. I’m very happy at the reception it’s had so far. It received a 4-star review from Joyfully Jay, people are buying it, and I’m really glad to have Kyle READ MORE
Upcoming
It’s hard to believe it will be 2025 in just a few days! While I don’t know exactly what the year holds for me–and, after the past few years, don’t want to speculate–I have made some writing and publishing plans. On January 9, I’ll release Bring on the Broccoli (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 7). READ MORE
There’s Something In My Eye…
I’m currently working on the first draft of Sorry About the Seitan (Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat 8), and yesterday I wrote a scene that almost made me cry. I guess it’s good if I can elicit that kind of reaction in myself; it might mean my readers will like the scene too. I can’t READ MORE
It Was a Long Week…
When I’m not writing books, I work at a daycare center. I’m usually only there about 15 hours a week; my job is to cover the lunch breaks of the full-time staff. But this past week, due to staff members being on vacation or out for other reasons, I worked 26 hours. Which doesn’t sound READ MORE
Planning and Plotting
I’ve spent the past couple of weeks dealing with some personal life stuff connected with this time of year. It still hasn’t completely died down (tomorrow, December 1, is the anniversary of two very difficult events in my life), but I’m hoping things will even out and I’ll get through the end of November/beginning of READ MORE
First Draft Done!
In October, a week or so after I released Ebb and Flow, I started writing the sequel to it, which is tentatively titled Life and Time. Yesterday, I finished writing that sequel! I think that’s one of the fastest first drafts I’ve ever done. And I’m pretty happy with the story, though there are a READ MORE
