Luna Moth Woman

It’s been far too many moons since I attended an exciting New Year’s Eve party and experienced a thrilling toe-curling midnight kiss. Hence, I decided to put a sexy and scintillating—and serendipitously silly—scene in the third novel of my Other Worldly series, Aliens Abound, launched in 2021. The festive party was fun to write, but […]

As I was drafting the first two novels of my Other Worldly series, I was hounded by a suggestion in writer’s circles that the all-important Chapter One should begin with a high-octane action scene. I resisted until book three, Aliens Abound, which launched in March 2021. And I’ve now somewhat braved this concept of an […]

This is the time of year when one tends to reflect back on Christmases past, and on the past year when I write my annual letter for friends and family. Kind of like what I do when I’m drafting the next book for my Other Worldly series. I peruse each novel to maintain continuity and […]

Maybe it’s because I’m in limbo between books, or the approaching holiday season with its maudlin whispers of auld lang syne, but last Friday I went searching online for a friend with whom I’d long ago lost touch. I first knew her as Staff Sergeant Sandy Winget in a graphic arts class my senior year […]

I’m busy putting out Christmas decorations for the first time in three years and doing so in a new abode. Hence, an opportunity for displaying keepsakes in varied spots, seeing cherished collectibles from different angles. And perhaps culling for giveaway items not so very dear or memorable. This made me realize the process is a […]

Two simultaneously erupting volcanoes in close proximity to each other. Some might call that portended Armageddon. In my Other Worldly novels, folks might try to blame it on aliens. Yet in real life this week, we have the world’s largest active volcano, Mauna Loa, erupting for the first time since 1984, with its neighbor Kilauea […]

These days I don’t eat turkey anymore, a bit tricky on Thanksgiving. I’ve learned that most folks get confused by the concept of not eating meat when it comes to holidays that are in fact all about that. Sure, I know it’s supposed to be about being grateful and gathering together but let’s face it, […]

I’ve now been affected by COVID in a vile manner not anticipated and not at all rational. Voters in Nevada inanely blamed pandemic restrictions and resulting economic fallout on our Nevada governor. To do so, many had to revert to that tired vapid crap about “both sides,” as in both candidates were undesirable, so let’s […]

We’ve finally reached the time for midterm elections, as in the actual election day. From here, all it will take is time, and likely quite a bit of it to obtain results, as we’re told in Nevada. To pass the time, let’s talk time, as in the passage of. Because despite what we might delude […]

I recently learned of a cool new genre category on the horizon, or on the rise in the writing and publishing world. It’s called New Adult. I like it. Perhaps because the idea of a new adult is appealing. I want to be a new adult, a shiny new-moon edition of myself. But that’s not […]
