I write poetry and fiction (mysteries, thrillers, and fantasy) and I'm in love with the magic words can create.
You'll also find me sharing my friends' creative adventures, as well as some activism and news.

Hades chokes on overgrown asphodel.
Tartarus cannot burn it away,
and the Styx cannot flood its roots.
Persephone has weaponized Spring.
No one touches her,
and no one bothers the souls
she gathers to her.

Publishing hot take: traditional publishing is really hard, and self-publishing is really hard, and everyone deserves a sandwich and a nap.

It is interesting how often genAI haters are framed as petulant, flippant, or intellectually conservative; as if our anger comes from some childish, egotistical, uninformed place and not stoked by watching our professions and ideals go up in flames.

The tide crashes into the cliffs–
the moon dropped the ocean again.
With more gravity
the moon would sweep
the ocean off into the stars.
It’s just as well.
The ocean says she would love
to explore, but in truth,
she would miss the whales too much.
She reaches slightly
and sighs back to the shore.

My eyes sting from the strain
of looking for light
in the darkness that surrounds me.
Each time I think of surrender,
the clouds break just enough
for a glimmer of starlight to reach me.
It is almost enough.
All I can do is keep my eyes open,
waiting to meet the dawn.

I’m about to arrive at a function and I’m worried people will ask me what my delicious gourmand perfume is, bc they know I love fragrance, and my answer will have to be “the caramel coffee I spilled on myself on the trip up and couldn’t change out of” because I don’t lie about these matters.

CALL YOUR REPS. This bill cannot be allowed to pass. There is so much horror in it that will kill people.
The Ag Committee's part of the Reconciliation Bill raises the SNAP work requirement age for able-bodied adults without dependents from 54 to 64. It also changes the definition of "dependent child" from under 18 years to under 7 years old to determine "Able-bodied adult without dependents."
