Today at my office, we had our annual Thanksgiving luncheon. We had the whole shebang: turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing, ham, mac and cheese, string beans, sweet potatoes, soup, salad, and rolls. Then we had apple pie, pumpkin-coconut cake, and a Dominican cake (because we also had 4 birthday people). My boss made a speech, … Continue reading A Turkey, Some Wine, and a Speech

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.

Like Fine Wine
I just had a birthday. Like, yesterday. I won’t say how old I am, but let’s just say that I now have to check off a different age box on some demographic questionnaires.

Into the Next
The members of my writer’s group are under the impression that I have a following. That’s very sweet of them to think that, but it’s really not all that big. Unless you’re one of the lucky few who are “overnight successes,” it takes years to build an audience. I put quote marks around that because … Continue reading Into the Next

Andi Marquette and I are wrapping up our review of All You Can Eat: A Buffet of Lesbian Romance & Erotica. The layout is fabulous and seeing the stories within the design was really exciting.

What Do Dresses & Fajitas Have in Common?
I’m back from Portland, Oregon, where I attended the Golden Crown Literary Society’s (GCLS) annual conference. While most people have blogged, or will be blogging, about their experiences there (including me at Women & Words), I’d like to explore something else. Where I work, there is a large Hispanic community and many of the women … Continue reading What Do Dresses & Fajitas Have in Common?
