Roswell: TV series Offers Entertaining Take on 1947 Crash
Determined to blog something not-so-serious this week, and also have fun creating a photo to accompany this post, I’m writing about Roswell—the TV show—and using a rubber stamp recently acquired for papercrafting. The green alien action figure was obtained at a conference when I worked for the US Air Force JAGC. Funny, huh? And having […]
No Light Shed On UFO Truths From A Self-Serving Liar
The truth is out there, but anyone who thinks it will come from this pathetic excuse for a presidential administration is, quite frankly, a duped imbecile. Hence, after yet another wholly staged (prove me wrong) assassination attempt orchestrated by those who prop up a pathological sociopath undeserving of, and unfit for, the title of US […]
April 1964: “I’m Not Alone Here. I’ve got a UFO.”
Last Saturday I attended a presentation on a historic UFO landing complete with extraterrestrials disembarking and interacting with humans, which occurred mere miles down the road from my new adobe abode back in 1964. It’s known as the Holloman Landing. And, yes, I do believe it actually happened. First, some background. Despite writing novels featuring […]
Enlightening Moon Voyage: No Dark Side to Artemis II
The highlight of a trying last week for many—with emphasis on light—was unprecedented far-side-of-the-moon shots from Artemis II, which launched on my birthday for a historic mission that broke space exploration records. The awe and joy this voyage brought, including the sheer humanity, brilliance, and decency of character displayed by its fabulously diverse crew, cannot […]
Author Aspirations: Blossoming Later in Life
I’m writing this post because I turned 65 last week and am so far embracing it. And although it’s no longer Women’s History Month, given last month’s post about perseverance in publishing, I found it uncanny that I stumbled on another pertinent Writer’s Digest online article by yet another (oh happy day) female author, Amy […]
A Resounding Dethroning: USA Says No Way
Yesterday evening, after loading up on ibuprofen for sore muscles even as my spirit soared to learn history had been made with more than eight million protesting across the nation, I saw this post on Bluesky: One thing you learn by going to No Kings protests is that there are waaaaay more old white ladies […]
Hope Springs From An Unexpected Literary Source
Today I’m celebrating my ten-month anniversary of arriving in New Mexico; last week’s spring equinox; and the blooming of daffodils planted with much hope and anticipation in late October (depicted in the accompanying photo). As I’ve walked my dog in early morning springtime, cottontails have joined us while quail coveys skitter across rural roads and […]
Remembering Molly Ivins: The Ultimate Luna Moth Woman
This week marks the fifth anniversary of this, my Luna Moth Woman blog. To celebrate, and in keeping with March as Women’s History Month, I will honor a woman who embodied the feisty feminist spirit that is Luna Moth Woman, the late great Molly Ivins. First, some background on Luna Moth Woman. An alter ego […]
Embrace Metapatterning By Rejecting Patriarchy for International Women’s Day
Recently I saw an unfamiliar reference to metapatterning, a verb meaning “breaking through patriarchal patterns and weaving our way out of male-ordered mazes.” As my fierce feminist protagonist Rowan Layne would say, boy howdy. It brought to mind myriad sociopolitical subjects featured in my Other Worldly novel series—and at least the mazes first introduced as […]
Finding Lost Publishing Hope From Irish Author Evie Woods
On January 27, I finally heard from One More Chapter—United Kingdom publisher seeking authors without agents—on my submission of a revised Alienable Rights, first novel in my Other Worldly series and originally self-published in February 2020. It was a hopeful longshot to attempt to “relaunch” the series at this juncture, so therefore not surprising that […]
