Hello Bloglandia! So, I'm grudgingly having to accept that we are knee-deep in autumn here in Portland. Anyone who's been with me for a while knows my distaste for the icky season between summer and winter. Besides the mucky leaves making the sidewalks treacherous, the darkening days, and the disgusting scent of pumpkin spice everything, … Continue reading Finn Frolics in the Floral Finale
Happy Beer Lover’s Day
That's right, it's Beer Lovers Day!! Which means, even though it's only 7:30 a.m. here in Portland, Finn McSpool has already been pouring hoppy goodness onto his cereal. As for me, since it's a bit too early to celebrate, I'm sharing a post from St. Patrick's Day a couple years ago in which Finn and … Continue reading Happy Beer Lover’s Day
Flying to the Past for National Aviation Day
Hello Bloglandia, Since I'm drowning in the depths of a major rewrite to the second book in my Cassie Black trilogy, I'm saving some time by resorting to a little bit of bloggy shenanigans. Helping me out with this trickery are your favorite monster, Finn McSpool, and the people who come with these odd national … Continue reading Flying to the Past for National Aviation Day
It’s Time for An Action-Packed Library Stack
Hello Bloglandia! I just LOVE getting my grubby little fingers on new (okay, new-to-me) books! Which means now that my local library is sort of back in business, I've been going crazy with placing items on hold. And by "sort of" I mean you still can't go in and wander amongst the stacks, but you … Continue reading It’s Time for An Action-Packed Library Stack
It’s a Library Stack!
Hello Bloglandia! It appears i'm all about thievery on the blog lately. First I stole WWW Wednesdays from Jaunts & Haunts (who, in my defense, stole it from someone else). And now, from TierneyCreates, I'm stealing the idea of posting about my stack of goodies from the library. Still, I don't think any book lovers … Continue reading It’s a Library Stack!
Finn McSpool Embarks on a Mini-Escape
Hello Bloglandia! If you've been wondering where Finn McSpool has been lately, well, he's been in the exact same place at me: Stuck at home with no prospects for travel for a very, very long time thanks to the moronic... [very long rant redacted in exchange for...] Okay, I won't get into the ridiculous embarrassment … Continue reading Finn McSpool Embarks on a Mini-Escape
A Friday Smile – Part Five
Hello Bloglandia! It's that time of the week where I hunt down a quick snapshot to bring a little grin to your locked down faces. As you know, I've been trying to get a photo of the goslings that should be roaming around my neighborhood any day now. But once again, the local goose families … Continue reading A Friday Smile – Part Five
A Brand New Library to Drool Over
To say I'm a book addict would be like saying Keith Richards has dabbled a few times in drugs and alcohol....a bit of an understatement. And like any addict, supporting my habit might require me to dive into a life of crime if not for one of the best inventions humans have ever come up … Continue reading A Brand New Library to Drool Over
Exploring the “Finn”door Garden
It seems like it's been ages since Finn McSpool has pestered me for a photo shoot. Perhaps he was feeling chubby after too many trips to the boulangeries in France or maybe he was actually thinking of others and letting me finish up those last pesky edits on my books. Whatever the cause, the strange … Continue reading Exploring the “Finn”door Garden
