I love when trees change into their autumn colors starting at the top on down. Like a ‘90s frosted tips hairstyle (but burgundy).

Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends!
This year, like every year, I’m celebrating the ideals of our country and those who fight for them. Let’s keeping fighting!

I finished writing a book over a year ago and had to step away from the draft for a while, but it never left my mind. I’m finally revising it and I love it?
It’s astonishing what a little distance can do during the creative process to make me appreciate my own writing.

My in-laws have the best taste in books! I especially love the spooky illustrations.
It’s especially perfect for Mischief Night/Devil’s Night/Hell Night/All Hallows’ Eve Eve!

What delightful (and frightful) microfiction for October!
The great, lumbering ground sloths are such a recent extinction, an evolutionary eyeblink. Their burrows remain, tall enough to stand in. The claw marks and hair and shit are still there. You can almost smell them. You can... hear them? This is a very large tunnel.

I put out my Halloween decorations and my cats seem to approve!
Gidget decided to blend in with the decor while Gadget destroyed zombie figurines. Gadget, as a smart kitty, went straight for the heads.

Today seems to be a great day for birds and dragons! This is a lovely poem!
My poem is up on Strange Horizons! They published the first poem I sold in 2005 ("When you left your body lying around"). Now, twenty years later, they've published my most recent one: "Watching Migrations"

This is such a charming flash fiction!
A crow gets inside a dragon’s lair, sees all the glittery goodies, and does what crows do as the dragon watches on and considers the audacity. I love them both!

New story day! "The Truth About Crows" is a sweet fun story about what happens when a dragon finds a crow trespassing in her lair. I think my fondness for both crows and dragons is well documented by now!
