Wow. I didn't expect this short story to get so much attention, but everyone who's read it loves it.

It’s here! The audio version of MYOPIC DUPLICITY!

This was always meant to be an auditory experience. When I wrote AITA FOR USING MY HUSBAND’S HOBBY TO TEACH HIM A LESSON, I had @hillaryoutloud voice in my head. download it and hear this story as I intended. ❤️

Making cupcakes for my eldest’s birthday. Fortunate to be close enough to take them to his college. He wanted 24 cupcakes because his floor “isn’t social” and he’s going to change that with the power of cake. That child is 💯 mine.

Bouchercon! Come see an amazing Noir at the Bar!

Bouchercon is only 2 weeks away and I'm going to be there. Here's where to find me if you want to hang out. I'll also be at the bar and heaven knows where else. (Especially if it involves beignets!)

Got home at midnight, woke up at 6:30. So far I’ve:

- laid in bed for an additional hour
- hit the grocery store
- done 2.5 loads of laundry
- unpacked 2 of 3 suitcases (reason the last suitcase remains unpacked below)
- had coffee and made a quiche
- sorted mail and emails

I feel like he’s about to call his shop steward about the sub-par management in this organization. (I was 15min late with dinner last night.)

Leaving Berkeley today. Lord I love this city/area. Brilliant minds, great friends, joyous vibes.

Berkeley is where my heart lives. I lived here at such an important time in my life. For me, this is where the magic happens.

Youth Curling night last night! So much fun. We did hours of fun games, like bowling, portal, and bounty shots, and had 15 pizzas.
