…it’s the Summer of Dora. So many amazing things are happening right now, my carpal tunnel will explode out of my hands and onto the keyboard if I try to type them all. This will be a very brief post, as I need to cross at least one Craphouse item off of my to-do list…
Flower Day Recap and a Quickie Craphouse Update
Flower Day was a blast! It rained like crazy, the temperature was five degrees less than comfortable for the clothes I was wearing, the wind kept blowing my hair into my face and the faces of those around me (couldn’t find a ponytail holder, sorry Eastern Marketers), and I’m on the tail end of a…

Menace and Whimsy II
My story “These Troubles, Oh No” is now online over at A cappella Zoo. It’s an excerpt from my NaNoWriMo novel Uncurled. A different title was given in the notes, but it’s changed. Permanently, ’cause this is a much better title. It’s taken from a line in R.A. Lafferty’s The Reefs of Earth: “A child’s…
New CH Note (FB)
This weekend will be a milestone in the Craphouse renovation (can I call it a renovation at this point, when it’s really more of a make-it-moderately-sanitary-so-we-can-at-least-move-in-ovation?) — I’m kicking the weekend off with a big ol’ mess of plaster.
Quick Update
