He needs a fake girlfriend to avoid his family’s holiday matchmaking. This pretend romance won’t change their friendship...right?

Read Zach & Jo's story, A Fake Girlfriend for Chinese New Year, in ebook, paperback, or audio!

1 WEEK AWAY!  The Toni Morrison Book Club kicks off February 21 & 22, and we'd love for you to be part of it!

All through 2026, we’ll be reading Morrison’s novels together, moving in historical order—from A Mercy (set in the 1680s) all the way to God Help the Child.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Highlights from judging the elementary school science fair.

An investigation of which household objects conduct electricity.

Can cheese conduct electricity? Apparently so.

Me: You and cheese both conduct electricity. What do you two have in common?
Student: We are both thick
Me: Ah yes of course

The Worst Ronin is a book that I love that I also joke was sort of cursed-- it didn't have support, editors got laid off or quit.

But today a kid at Noah's school came up to me and asked if I was the lady who wrote the samurai fart book-- it's his favorite.

It was nice

I think you'll really enjoy the stories... and

I just had to replace my catalytic converter which, alas, costs about 1000 times what one of these stories does. :)

I think I have sufficiently recovered from the whale book to hop into Leaves of Grass. 🌿

I remember liking this and other Transcendentalist stuff in high school. Let's find out if I'm just too cynical to appreciate it anymore.

2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Did you just finish Moby Dick and want to switch to something a bit more optimistic while somehow still staying in mid-19th century New England? Well done I have a book for you!!! It’s got hope, it’s got esoteric optimism, it’s got everything…except rhyme or meter. Neither of those. :-)
