Started “Unnatural Selection,” a new Youtube Channel
I hope everyone had a nice holiday. We did here and got in some hiking and other fun stuff. Also, my husband has been wanting to start a Youtube channel for a while now and since we had some time during the holidays, he and I got that going. The name of the channel is…

Four “Bus Poems” published by 5-7-5 Haiku Journal.
Thank you very much to Atlantean Publishing for reprinting/publishing several of my “Bus Poems,” in their 5-7-5 Haiku Journal. I wrote a bunch of these short pieces back when I worked as a paratransit driver. I would see something that I thought was notable or I’d have a thought or someone would say something about…

Work Outs: November 7 – 13, 2021 (Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Reverse Trick or Treating)
It has been quite a while since I posted here, but I thought now that things are settling down a bit with work on The Lost Librarian’s Grave anthology I should make the effort to start posting my workouts again. While I’m usually more focused on weight maintenance rather than loss, I did loosen up…

Tweaked the Ebook Cover for The Lost Librarians Grave
Originally posted on Redwood Press: Work continues on The Lost Librarian’s Grave horror and weird fiction anthology, which is good because October will be here before we know it. Today I tweaked the ebook cover a little, giving the gargoyle a bit of an aura or glowing effect, as well as a few other things.…

Work Outs: August 29 – September 4, 2021 (USS Hornet Aircraft Carrier)
The other day, I was looking through some uncatalogued pictures from our 2013 visit to the USS Hornet in Alameda, California. I’ve never done anything with them, so I thought it would be a good idea to show some of them here.* The Hornet is an Essex-class carrier that was built in 1943 and saw…

Work Outs: August 15 – 21, 2021 (Sprints with a random dog, and dragon meat at the thrift store.)
Sun, August 15th Afternoon Walk: 6.51 miles. I did some sprinting uphill and then walked back down the hill and rejoined my husband and walked back up the same hill. I did this a few times during our little hike. At one point someone’s off leash Jack Russell terrier-looking dog decided to ignore his owner…

666 Dark Drabbles: An anthology from Black Hare Press.
666 is the eleventh title of the Dark Drabbles series of books, published by Black Hare Press out of Melbourne, Australia.* My magnificent contribution to this collection is a 100 word piece entitled “Azazel’s Heart,” which I came up with a couple of years ago. I recently rewrote the drabble to give it a more…

Work Outs: August 8 – 14, 2021 (Repurposed ashtray as decoration, military press, and my last editing deadline for The Lost Librarian’s Grave.)
I was going through some old stuff when I found a white, stone (apparently hand carved) ashtray in a forgotten box of stuff. I’m not one to toss things that aren’t mine, so I asked my husband about it and apparently the ashtray has been in his family for 75 or 80 years now, and…
