Write. A very important word. I should put it on a sticky note on my computer to remind me to write. But I shouldn’t need a reminder–I mean, that’s what I do, right? Right? It’s been literally years since I’ve kept a personal journal consistently (meaning I wrote at least one entry per month.) For…

Bookworms Don’t Run Out of Adventures
It’s so easy to get caught up in the writing and reading. It’s easy to forget that life is a story; it deserves to be chronicled. I used to be so good at keeping a journal. I don’t know why my enthusiasm in journal writing faded; maybe I have too many journals and not enough drive…

Exactly a week ago was the book cover reveal for Dissonance. Now that things have settled down, I have time to blog about it. I bet at some point you wondered why I chose May 19 as my book cover reveal. Well, it’s the feast day of St. Celestine, the patron saint of book binders, and…
