• Sunday Snippet: The Spring Cleaning Edition

I reorganized closets and drawers four times a year, washed windows every spring and fall (I still do that!),…

A lifelong lover of horror, and things that go…

  • Sunday Snippet: The Spring Is Here Edition

    Right off, Happy Easter to all who celebrate! Spring seems to be springing already and you know, between health stuff and writing like a madwoman, I am more than ready. The gardens are coming to life–check out my hyacinths–aren’t they pretty? We’ve had a typical March in the Midwest—warm, lovely, sunny days and then cold, gray, and chilly ones. But now it’s April, and somehow this spring seems particularly promising, because ever since all this heart stuff, everything has felt…I dunno—unsettled.
