• Happy 2013, World!

  And Happy 100th Blog Post to me! Four years of blogging, and I finally met THE milestone. Just the other night my 2012 Stats were revealed—I’ve had slow but steady improvements.

• A Very Literary Christmas

    It’s the most wonderful time of the year! And my favorite part of the wonder of Christmas is the magic of Christmas stories.

• An Autism Literary Journey

• Alphabet Blog

  I’ve taken this from writer buddy Stephanie, who took it from another friend, etc but I changed a few alphabet words to mix it up a bit. A. Age: I’m a bicentennial baby. You do the math. B. Birth Order: 3rd out of 4. Third is the nerd. C. Chore that you hate: Cleaning tubs/showers. […]
