Hello Bloglandia!! Before anyone reaches for the phone to call the FBI, just note that I am not being held hostage, nor am holding anyone hostage. Which exactly what a hostage victim or a hostage taker would say, isn't it? But let's get to this post. So, after nearly two years of no vacations, I … Continue reading On Hostages & Facing Fears

June’s Writing Round-up
Hello Bloglandia! So June was an amazing month in my writing world. Unfortunately the month had to end with The Horrible Heat Wave That Proves the Evils of 2020 Aren't Done With Us Yet.

Hit the Road, Jill – June’s Reading Round-up
Hello Book Fiends of Bloglandia! So, I managed to survive the heat wave in Portland...although I think the cats might have melted and portions of my garden are now "extra crispy". Monday's thermometers nearly burst their bulbs when we topped out at 116F (about 47C), which blasted away Sunday's 112F (45C) record, and made Saturday's … Continue reading Hit the Road, Jill – June’s Reading Round-up

The Marvelous Bookstore Makeover (with Celebratory Discount)
Hello Bloglandia! (Note: I also ramble on about this in my latest Video Update at about the 8:45 mark, if you're interested in watching me get all giddy about shiny new things). If you ever visited my Payhip Bookstore, you might remember it as looking a bit...well, hideous. See, Payhip didn't make it easy to arrange … Continue reading The Marvelous Bookstore Makeover (with Celebratory Discount)
Take That, Neil! (May’s Writing Round-up)
Hello Bloglandia! Egad! I blinked and May disappeared. Anyone else experience this blinky-time warp phenomenon? I guess that means I need to make the most of June...or just never blink again. I better put in an order for a case of eye drops. Anyway...if you're not in the mood for reading today, you'll get a … Continue reading Take That, Neil! (May’s Writing Round-up)
