Books I’ve Recommended to My Mother

Bookery

I’ve been reading a lot of domestic thrillers recently. This started with reading The Girl on the Train to see what all the fuss was about, and I found it to be one of those masterful examples of an unreliable narrator with bonus drunken debauchery. Then my mom rec’d The Woman in Cabin 10, and

Once More Into the Breach: We Ride, We Ride, We Ride

The Writing Life

Despite a lot of deliberate work, I’m running behind on writing THE LIGHT BRIGADE. Much of this, I’ve found, has been me second-guessing myself about… well, everything. Much of this is simply a mental block, I know. My self-esteem took a hit with BROKEN HEAVENS. I don’t want to turn in another partial/very rough draft.

What Came Out In 2017 (AKA: Here’s What’s Eligible This Awards Season)

Awards, Bookery

As the awards ballots start to go out, I’m getting some questions from folks about which work of mine is eligible this year in various categories.

The Year I Drowned My Emotions

Darkest Timeline, The Writing Life

For over a year now, I haven’t wanted to feel anything. Not joy. Not sorrow. Just… nothing. I wanted to feel nothing. Certainly, there’s an element of depression, there. My doctor kept upping my meds. They would work for awhile, and then I’d just sink into the Nothing again. I didn’t feel depressed, because I
