Hello Bloglandia! I like big books and I cannot lie... Sorry, couldn't resist. Anyway, this post is all about LARGE (or are they just big-boned) books, including the biggest, the longest, and a ginormous (sort of) new release by yours truly. So, yeah, a little entertaining, a little educational, and a little bit self-serving. The … Continue reading My, What Big Books You Have…
Feeling the Burn (Out) – September’s Writing Update
Happy Hump Day Bloglandia! How did September treat you? I have to say I'm a little jealous of those of you in the Southern Hemisphere who have just jumped into spring because I absolutely detest autumn. Still, after the brutal heat waves and wildfires in the Pacific Northwest this summer, the mucky rain and cooler … Continue reading Feeling the Burn (Out) – September’s Writing Update
Getting Stoned with Book Makers
Happy Hump Day Bloglandia! Now, before you think this post is about cannabis legalization, it's not. Sorry to disappoint. However, books do take you to all kinds of worlds of the imagination, so in a way, they are mind-altering.

If You Can’t Stand the Heat…Get Out the Humor?
Hello Bloglandia! If you happen to pay any attention to the news (depressing, I know) or to my Instagram account (which no one does), you'll know the Pacific Northwest has angered the sun gods this summer.

July’s Reading Round-up: Location, Location, Location
