Posted on October 11, 2010 by admin

The Well-Adjusted Vampire

Posted on October 5, 2010 by admin

Coming at the end of October January 2011…The Music of Chaos, my urban fantasy novel, from Decadent Publishing.

I’ve got him in my sights, corrosive revolver loaded and ready to fire. “The only good Crimson Lance soldier is a dead one,” I mutter. My finger twitches on the XBox controller. And then my view is obstructed. By a … Continue reading →

That Home Time Religion

Posted on September 24, 2010 by admin

Go, Team Scorpion

Posted on September 22, 2010 by admin

“Clash of the Titans” is delightful. Delightfully bad. Having recently suffered through the critically acclaimed, but mind-rapingly dull, “No Country for Old Men,” husband-critter and I decided to dip into the shallower side of the cinematic gene pool. Clash of … Continue reading →

Good Thing He’s Cute

Posted on September 20, 2010 by admin

After spending the morning staring at the computer screen at work, wondering, “What the hell is it I do I here?” I’m back home.  And staring at the computer screen. My faithful greyhound enters the office, walking carefully over the … Continue reading →

Like a Dog, But Bigger

Posted on September 17, 2010 by admin

It’s six-thirty am and my horse is bugling at the house. I, the antithesis of a morning person, am thinking dark thoughts about glue factories and horse steaks. Bleary-eyed, I tromp out to to the barn, where the Wonder Horse … Continue reading →

Whot I Lurnt at Pubic Shool

Posted on September 15, 2010 by admin

‎”Who was Stephen F Austin??? Why are shool is named after him” That’s the title of a posting at my high school’s reunion page over at Facebook. It’s just a cavalcade of sad. A little misspelled monument to the inadequacy … Continue reading →

St. Paddy’s in the Fall

Posted on September 14, 2010 by admin

Yeah, it’s hopelessly out of season, but I stumbled on this at DeviantArt. Jelly sandwiches, nailed to the wall. The last panel is priceless. “Sit up straight or the devil will steal your backbone…and lash you with it for the … Continue reading →

What’s That Smell?

Posted on September 13, 2010 by admin

Ah, Fall in New Mexico. When the air is filled with the tantalizing smell of roasting chile. *Sniffs* Oh, wait. That’s not chile. Crap. I set myself on fire again. Occupational hazard of working with welders and plasma torches. Coming … Continue reading →
