  • New covers and giveaways and stories…oh, my!

    We’re a week into February, and my kick-ass streak continues! Well…except for the part where I get distracted by a good book. I’ve been reading the Stieg Larsson Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, you see, and damn, could that man write a fabulous plotline! I’m about three quarters of the way through the final book, The…

  • Overdue posts and holiday wishes…

    The year is almost over, and I can’t say I’m sorry to see it go. While there have been things to celebrate (one daughter got married, another engaged…woo! 🙂 ), it has definitely been…challenging…as it has been for many. With that in mind, I’m sending out wishes to you all for a gentle holiday season.…

  • A Holiday Short Story…Just for you!

    Happy, happy holidays, everyone!

  • Recipes by Request: Vegetarian Gravy

    Every so often, the topic of food comes up in my Twitter and/or Facebook communities, and I’ll get a request for the recipe for something I’ve made. This time around, it’s for a vegetarian gravy I make for the non-meat eaters at our holiday dinners (we celebrated our Canadian Thanksgiving yesterday).  I’ve adapted the recipe from one…

  • Post-holiday blues

    Well, this is it. Time to take down the Christmas tree and put away the decorations for another year. While a part of me looks forward to a return to my ordinary routine (I really need to get back to Alex and the Archangel Michael!), another part of me isn’t quite as enthusiastic. There’s something…

  • The Twelve Days Before Christmas

    So… I’ve just realized that Christmas is exactly 12 days away. Given that I have done absolutely nothing to prepare just yet (okay, I have bought one gift…), this has inspired me to get my rear end in gear. Especially since one of my daughters is coming home from university a week from today. O.O…
