1. E is for Editor. Have y’all heard of Month9Books yet? Well, go check them out – they are a new publisher of speculative fiction for teens and tweens. And guess who is going to work with them as an assistant editor? That’s right: ME! I will still be freelance editing, if you are interested, [...]
1. I’m back to blogging. Yay! After 3.5 months, we have finally closed on our house, moved in, and gotten internet up and running. Can I tell y’all how un-fun it is to live out of a suitcase with one week’s worth of clothes for 3.5 months? REALLY, EPICALLY un-fun. Obviously, we didn’t anticipate it [...]
1. Is there anything more tired-making than a poor sick baby? Baby Caveman had his first official cold two weeks ago. We finally recovered from that and everything was great. Then two nights ago he was having a real rough time. Around three in the morning he felt hot so I took his temperature – [...]
I know, I know. I usually do Fast Five posts on Fridays, but I figure since I haven’t blogged in, like, for-ever, I can get away with doing one on this lovely Monday as well. 1. New! If you’re reading this via email or an RSS feed, you can’t see it, but say hello to [...]

1. I first met The Standards in July of 1997. I was just a wee lass back then, but I remember being total taken by their music and stage presence. Over the past 14 years, I have come to know them personally and grown to love them immensely. These are some seriously kind, wonderful, talented people, [...]
1. My neighbors have a baby. He is a year old. His name is Enzo, which makes me think a little of THIS but mostly of THIS. Anyway, Enzo is a crier. Cute little bug, but boy can that kid wail. I’m not saying Baby Caveman is the perfect baby or anything (oh, who am [...]
1. For quite a while now, we have been searching for a new job for Geek Husband. Geek Father-in-law (who is not a geek at all, but rather a farmer) was diagnosed with cancer in March, and while it is totally treatable, it has still been (and will still be) a long, hard road. So [...]
1. Music, music, music. I don’t always (actually almost never) listen to music while I’m actually writing, but a good song can inspire a scene, an emotion, an entire book. When I get jammed, I spent some quality time with my tunes. Eventually something gives and I can get writing again. 2. Read!! Nothing inspires [...]
