Our little girl-dog Isla is not sure how she feels about this year's Yule tree! Maybe she'll like it better when the ornaments go on.

We enjoyed this beautiful sunrise today, so bright it shined up the roof of our truck! I might have to do my errands this morning instead of this afternoon, though, because it's gonna rain this afternoon, and rainy is the best writing weather.

Sunrises here are really pretty! This was yesterday; today, it's overcast, but the clouds are bright. It'll be a good day to run some errands and start at least one new story. (WIP is "Side Quests in Ancennia," a spin-off anthology from "Mere Mortals' Magic.")

I didn't write yesterday, but I will today. (I had meetings, and had to drive on freeways.) And here's a pic of Portland on fire - with fall color.

I'm continuing to work on this year's NaNo2.0 novel. Interesting to see so many Highland cattle in my feed when "The Lost Tanist" is about the heir of a Scottish clan turned into a Highland bullock ....

Quirky is an original anthology of eleven stories and seventeen poems of varying length and mood. They're quick to read, and offer respite from the press of everyday life ... or maybe immersion in it.

In Book One of the Echo Crossing series, Nick Hunter comes into a surprise inheritance, discovers a whole new world, complete with monsters, and meets the love of his life - not necessarily in that order. You can get a copy through my website, www.ashleenogaea.com.

I'm pleased with all the blue victories!

I also want to tell you about another of my novels, "Murdering the May Queen. Let a bagpiping police clerk take you through the process of sorting a cozy murder and figuring out "who done it" before the stranded coven is rescued.

The cover may change before I publish, but this is what it looks like now. Happy to know what you think!

Chrissy writes greeting card verses. Mason teaches poetry at the local community college. They hit it off; Chrissy audits his class.

As they muddle through multiple misunderstandings, can love survive Chrissy's suspicions and memories of betrayal?

Get the book on Amazon when the boycott ends.

Here's a collection of letters from a man who loved the Oregon coast. He built his own boats to adventure beyond the three-mile limit, catching salmon when there were plenty to catch. Order your copy from Amazon, but not until after the boycott.

The charisma is a magical artifact created from the agony of the New Berwick witch trials in the 1590s. Since then, its curse has killed other first daughters of the line. How will a 21st-century witch ground its ancestral power? Find out - buy the book when the Amazon boycott is over.

Thirty-plus years of practice and teaching are gathered in this illustrated presentation of the Adventure Tradition of Wicca. It's a small Trad, but more relevant today than ever. We hope you'll get a copy without crossing any Amazon boycott lines.

Thirteen-year-old Mary Friday has a few problems. She can solve most of them. But what's she going to do when she finds out that her Westie, Fiona, has a life-threatening illness?
When the boycott's over, get your copy on Amazon and find out.

These stories - about a prince, dragons, unicorns, trolls, and faeries - are for children of all ages. And they're ready for readers to illustrate, because who knows better what the characters look like than the people reading or hearing the stories! When the boycott ends, get your copy on Amazon!

Eleven stories and seventeen poems of varying length and mood offer respite from the press of everyday life ... or maybe immersion in it. For Kindle or in paperback, get your copy at Amazon (but not on a boycott day).

This is the first book to give parents the means to teach Wicca to children in gently organized way - without losing the spontaneity that brings many of us to the Craft in the first place. It's available on Amazon - maybe just not on boycott days.👍

Here's the 2nd volume of "Celebrating the Seasons of Life."

Learn more than history about the Sabbats! Understand their place in modern life, and try some recipes and crafts ... from the author of the ground-breaking "Family Wicca" and "Raising Witches." This book and its companion are on Amazon as paperback or for Kindle.

Each of us learns and understands in many different ways, so - from a Wiccan perspective - this book talks about death in many different ways. Reading it, you can learn to see death, dying, and surviving as steps in the spiral dance of life.
It's available now on Amazon.
