What’s making me happy this week: getting back to my routine.
Taking a break was incredibly helpful. Stress fell away that I didn’t even know I was carrying. And now I’m coming back to my old routine with new eyes. Continue reading “Focusing on Happiness—Week Thirty-Eight”
The fourth Department of Homeworld Security novella is almost here. That means it’s time for a cover reveal!
Are you ready?
I noticed something peculiar early in my life. No one looked like me.
Not my family, not my neighbors, not my friends.
No one.
My parents were both brunettes. Dad had brown eyes, and mom’s were slate-gray green (mine are green with flecks of blue). My features, hair, and eyes didn’t match anyone in my immediate or extended family, or even the people in my communities (there were several—we moved a lot).

What’s making me happy this week: starting the next Scifi novella! 😀

Today is the big 3-0 for one of my very most favorite characters. The trouble is, if I tell you who, it’s a big spoiler if you haven’t read Pack yet. You can go ahead and go read it. This post will be here when you get back 🙂
Are you done already?
Bet you didn’t see that one coming 🙂 So, anyway, Happy birthday…
What’s making me happy this week: all the movies!
So, I finally noticed that today is Thursday. I kinda lost track…
I haven’t taken much time to just unwind in the last few…um…years. I’m taking some now, and catching up on a ton of movies that I missed. I’m still getting some writing done, but more importantly, I’m recharging so I can head back to the page energized and ready to go.
I hope you’re getting in some down time, too!
