Dogshaming
Last night, I was awakened at 1:30 in the morning (and I know the exact time, because I checked) to find my yellow lab mix, Molly barking and growling like there was a giant alien spider in the room. I checked, no alien spiders, no freaky clowns, no zombies, nothing. That’s when I realized Molly was standing on the bed … Read More

Why I Prefer Snarky Kick-butt Characters
What type of main characters do you prefer? I like smart, snarky chicks who kick butt mentally and, or physically. If the main character resembles a Victoria’s secret model, I’m out. She has to have some flaw or insecurity otherwise I can’t relate. Because, newsflash, we all have wounds from the past which shape the people we become. I listened … Read More
