Treasure! (A Hot Cheeto Story)
This is a new story in regard to my “pet” dragon, Hot Cheeto. Find the last story here! It is also loosely based on true events. It was a cold, late-autumn evening when my friend and I decided to run to the village for Christmas gifts for our families. Naturally, I caved when Hot Cheeto…

Hot Cheeto (A Short Story)
I needed an outlet for my overactive brain. This story started out based on a true story, but it’s definitely fictionalized. There I was, minding my own business, when a friend walked up to me in my shop one day and said, “I found the cutest thing and I think you’ll like it a lot!”…

Bringing Joy (Or, How To Survive At A Higher Altitude)
This weekend I’m in Woodland Park, Colorado, at a women’s conference. Today is the last day, but now that I’m mostly over the altitude sickness, I decided to get a coffee at the beginning of the day. And then I wasn’t allowed in the auditorium because the cup doesn’t have a spill-proof lid. Whoops. So…

Expectations Met
After what seemed like the longest summer ever, I only have two more trips planned– that are NOT working trips!– and then I will be in Kansas City from the beginning of November until the end of January at the very least. I gotta be honest… I love traveling, but I am 100% traveled out.…

The Travel Diaries
What this post was going to be and what it has become are two very different things, but I know now all the procrastinating was for a reason. The above pictures are from my annual trip to South Bend, Indiana, with my best friends… what this post is now going to be about is none…

Sitting, Wishing, Waiting
It’s amazing what happens when I don’t blog for almost a whole week. It’s like a whole week of life happens. Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

Once In A Rare Blue Moon
Here in the US, we are having not only a “blue moon” (a full moon that has happened twice in the same calendar month), but it also happens to be a super moon. Which basically means it wears tights and a cape and saves people when no one is watching it. “Moony” never wants to…

It’s a “Yes-And” Life for Us!
It’s been another long month. In this case, it was simply because I was busy from start to finish. To be fair, most of my summers are busier than the rest of the year. Something about June to August, they just happen to be the busiest months… Yesterday was my first anniversary of living without…

One Year Ago…
Of all the things I thought I’d be doing in a year’s time from this time last year… blogging wasn’t one of those things. It’s not that I didn’t like blogging; ever since I was about 16, I’ve had different blogs on different sites. With the introduction of social media in my life, blogging seemed…

Enjoy The Queue
This weekend my friend Rachel and I are in Chicago at FanExpo selling (or trying to sell) her books. The fun thing about this particular “company” of conventions is that if you are an “Exhibitor” you get a free pass to anywhere in the building, basically. Erica has taken full advantage of that feeling of…
