Bio
I'm a weirdo nerd who’s extremely subversive. I like rocks, incense, and witchy stuff. Intrusive rhyme bothers me. Some of my fiction might have provoked divorce proceedings in another state.😈

Chance
I saw Chance the other day, slipping down a back alley, morning coffee in hand, a little worse for wear in last night's frock. Leftover mascara crumbled in the corners of her eyes that never stopped scanning the scene for those fickle bitches, the Fates. She was ready to kick their collective ass for once and always.

Completed Draft
When is a piece of writing finished? It’s a question with as many different answers as writers. For me, a work is finished when it can’t be improved anymore. Almost everything I have posted here is still in drafting (not draft; they’re posted). Even when I think a work is finished, I read it again, usually finding something I can improve or tighten.

A Room of my Own
Four different people have lived in this room since we bought the house, none of which ended well. No good deed goes unpunished for long. I decided after the last round that it was the last round. I no longer have an extra room; I have a writing room.

Eve Speaks
So there we were, hanging out in the garden, everything perfect, one day seamlessly melting into another when I noticed the caterpillars eating the apples, boring great holes through them, filling the air with the sweetest, most beautiful fragrance I had ever smelled. It smelled clean and crisp, not cloying like the sweet gardenias and jasmine. I kept coming back to smell the wonderful fruit that someone said we weren’t supposed to eat.
