You know how sometimes you try to fix something and wind up breaking something else?
I wanted to do some more microfiction today, but I couldn’t come up with anything I thought was worth sharing. Maybe next time. In the meantime, I’ve made some progress with my other projects, though not as much as I’d been hoping. Editing I finished rereading the latest draft, but as I neared the end, […]
Book Review (The Bourne Identity) and a Quick Update: Just to Mix Things Up
My review of The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum My rating: 3 of 5 stars Where do I begin? I saw the movies, all three of the original ones based on the Ludlum books, and then the fourth one with Jeremy Renner that was an “expansion” of the fallout from Jason Bourne’s actions. I thought […]

Quiet on thet Set Book Tour Week 1: Done
It’s been kind of a crazy week! Doing a blog tour for my book during the week has been a little tough while I was working. I couldn’t check in as often as I wanted to, so I’m afraid I may have missed some opportunities to connect on that front. Hiccups Also, I haven’t quite […]

Call it vanity, pride, or just obsessive statisticianing (it’s a word–I Googled it and other people say it, too), but I’m really pleased with everyone’s responses to the book! The Stats 249+ […]
