Hile again, my lovely inklings! Hearing from me twice in one day — I really hope y’all don’t suffer any sort of shock. ; ) But I gotta talk to you twice today! ‘Cause I’ve got more to tell ya! So here it is, with neither further ado nor adon’t: As of yesterday afternoon, Kindle …
You! Yes, YOU! Diligent, lovely reader of my blog! I have an opportunity for you. Trust me, you don’t wanna miss this.
Whatsit?
It’s a Kickstarter.
What’s a Kickstarter?
You know what to do to find out. ; )
In this post, I talk about my ongoing battle with a condition called “neurocardiogenic syncope.”
Hello, my lovelies. In case you hadn’t noticed, I spent November firmly and happily ensconced in this year’s National Novel Writing Month, abbreviated to NaNoWriMo for your convenience. NaNoWriMo is the manic, overcaffeinated, unpaid, underslept, head-desking, face-palming, keyboard-hammering, plot-bunnying, ninja-zombieing, annual November endeavor of hundreds of thousands of writers world-wide, each writing their own 50,000-word …
If you like fantasy art, and if you like dragons, and if you like the idea of fantasy cover art with dragons painted by me, then this post is definitely for you. ; )
So, when I mentioned earlier today that Tony Healey at fringescientist.com was gonna post an interview with me “tomorrow,” I was thinking of “tomorrow” in terms of *my* time zone.
Tony, however, is not in my time zone. Tony dwells far, far away in a land called “United Kingdom” — which, of course, means that he’s a couple+ hours ahead of me.
As a lifelong expat-turned-repat-turned-expat-turned-repat, not to mention as an adult TCK*, I really should’ve remembered that.
All of this is to say that, because in his world, it is already November 16th, Tony’s interview with me has gone live, and you can click this link to read it. Bangerang. Comments are, as always, most welcome (and encouraged!). ; )

*TCK = Third Culture Kid. Someday, I shall explain this in-depth. For now, suffice it to say that I am an adult one of these, and it makes me cramazingly crazy sometimes.

Kindle All-Stars El Presidente Bernard Schaffer calls us indie authors “the punk rock of literature.” My fellow punk rocker, Tony Healey, has conducted interviews with the rest of the troupe, so that you, my dear inklings, can get to know us all better….
“Did you ever walk into circumstances and come out with a lot more than you bargained for?” Yes. ; ) Here’s the story….
I had decided not to write about the child rape incident at Penn State. I had decided that I would put out a few links on Twitter and Facebook, briefly state my opinion, stop reading news articles, and turn my attention to happier things in order to preserve my sanity. But I can’t. My heart hurts too much, and for this moment, I cannot look away.
We all need frequent reminders to stop and pay attention to the little things that infuse small threads of joy into our hearts. Those threads wind and bind together until they form a powerful net of joy that catches the negatives of life….
