Halloween is my favorite season, and paranormal is my favorite genre to write. I wrote here last week that I’ve been told that paranormal doesn’t sell in the lesfic universe, and that really bummed me out. But I decided that even if I write other genres, I can’t give up my paranormal. Like a ghostly … Continue reading

All About the Paranormal
October! I get really excited when I flip the calendar from September to October. There’s just so much to love about this autumn month. First, well, it’s autumn. Who doesn’t love autumn? I’ve heard people say they hate winter or summer, but I’ve never heard anyone say they hate autumn. I love all thing Halloween-y: … Continue reading All About the Paranormal
To Remove a Curse
Hi there. I haven't posted in quite some time, and since this is the last week of 2015, I thought I'd do one last blog for the year. The end of the year is always a rough one for me because I'm reminded that another year has gone by and I'm still not where I … Continue reading To Remove a Curse
Getting on Track
It’s been a few weeks since I last blogged. That’s because the holidays, as they do every year, kept me very busy. It all becomes a whirlwind of pressure and I sometimes wonder if I’ll make it to the new year with my sanity intact. I always do. Sort of. Then the holidays ebb away … Continue reading Getting on Track
Christmas Caroling
Has anyone else noticed that holiday music is the only music that we listen to continuously, year after year, for decades? I mean, radio stations still regularly play “Here Comes Santa Claus” by Gene Autry, “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” by Burl Ives, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee, and “Have Yourself a … Continue reading Christmas Caroling
It’s so awesome that this post is going live on Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday for so many reasons. It’s so much more than just putting on costumes, going trick or treating, and getting candy. There is so much fascinating history behind the rituals and the holiday itself. And it all meant so much … Continue reading
My Alter Ego
Today, I wore a lucky jade bracelet that my friend gave me. It’s lucky because jade is considered good luck in Chinese culture, and the string is red, a lucky color for Chinese (my friend is Chinese, if you haven’t figured that out). There’s a reason I’m saying this. Bear with me. Last night, we … Continue reading My Alter Ego
Last But Not Least
This is my last blog before the New Year and I’m still reeling from the fact that another year is over. How can this be? It’s scary how time speeds up as you get older. It kind of scares me because there’s still so much that I want to do, and since I’m not 25 … Continue reading Last But Not Least
Still On the Journey
The other day, I ran across a quote from Thomas Edison that really struck a chord with me. He said: “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." This is the attitude that kept him at his work and gave us the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture … Continue reading Still On the Journey
A Moment of Time
I truly cannot believe that Christmas is a week and a half away. As usual, I’m completely unprepared. During the past few weeks, I’ve thought about the upcoming holidays, what I'm going to get for people, what foods I'm going to prepare… Yet, as it does every year, it snuck up on me. I put … Continue reading A Moment of Time
