Hooray!! Finally some good news for August 2017! Here’s what’s brewing in the energy this month:

[image error]I procrastinated until it was too late. I had printed the email request, added to my to-do list, thought of a few ideas, stalled, and finally just forgot all together. So when I arrived at Sunstone and my friend said quizzically … “your bio?” I assumed it was blank. I shrugged and sl...

If you don’t have access to affordable organic suppliers like Bountiful Baskets or a good local CSA, Azure Standard is one option to get a monthly box of assorted organic fruits and vegetables. 

The box costs $33 (as of August 2017), plus a small delivery fee (generally about $10 for my order of...

In trying to solidify my author brand (it’s an ongoing process), I’ve often tried to wrap my mind around what dark romance and erotica actually are. It seems like a straightforward-enough answer–romance or erotica plus horror, right? But I often get stuck in this spiral of: Is my work dark? Is it...

Going out to grab lunch with some friends, then groceries!

Meaning ‘housewife’ (according to my husband, since my Japanese is not great so far.)  This is, of course the other side of our trip.  We’re hoping that by this time next year the whole family will be living here in Tokyo, so...

When you write and get stuck on a scene or stuck on a story idea, what do you do?

I’ve got a couple tricks I’ve found useful when I get in those predicaments.

My go-to method for story idea generating is to search random pictures online until I find something useful or inspiring. Normally I’d go to...

I’m happy to announce that my third book, The Wisdom of Sherlock Holmes, has JUST BEEN RELEASED! I would be honored if you would click the link below and go look at it. I would be grateful beyond words if you would take the time to read the book and off...

Net als een hele hoop lezers ben ik vorig jaar hopeloos verliefd geworden op de boeken van Jenny Han, over de jonge, naïeve, romantische Lara Jean en haar liefdesleven. Compleet onverwachts werd recentelijk aangekondigd dat er nog een dérde deel gaat komen – in het Nederlands verschijnt-ie deze m...

Turn Back the Pages is a biweekly feature where I spotlight a comic that is not fresh and new. It may have come out a few months ago or even a few years ago. Maybe it was hyped and popular, or maybe it was an underappreciated gem. Whatever the case, it’ll be a great comic that’s well worth a rea...

“My father proposed to my mother at gunpoint when she was nineteen, and knowing that she was already pregnant with a dead man���s child, she accepted.”

How can you read that first sentence and not read on? This tiny tidbit of Gina Sorell’s debut novel Mothers and Other Strangers gripped me when I...

Speciaal voor Zon en Maan schreef Simone van The Black Sheep Indie – hét ebookplatform voor selfpubbers een aantal gastblogs. Hoe ouder ik word, hoe minder ik lijk te snappen. Wat raar is, wijsheid en kennis zou toch met de jaren komen? Helaas gebeurt bij mij het omgekeerde en lijkt mijn onbegrip...

Even though I’m an editor for hire, I firmly believe in self-editing. For one, it helps you develop your skills as a writer because it forces you to learn to analyze your own work. For two, you’ll get more from a professional editor because if you’ve already caught simple mistakes, an editor can...

If my cats were superheroes, we’d have InvisiKitty and Distractacat. I know we have another name floating around, but I’ve forgotten it due to the early hours of the day.

Yesterday I lost a yam. I had it on Sunday when I went shopping, and I brought it home, I’m certain. But last night when I went...

I made a cake for my husband’s birthday — at his request, a banana cake — and our son did the icing. :)

Both the cake and the icing were new recipes for me, and the result was, I may say without false modesty, a huge hit! And because I like to share good things, here they are. They’re from my trus...

“And then I whipped the shark’s butt with both fins behind my back!”

Any of this sound familiar? “He’s a good catch”; “That story had me hooked from the very first sentence”; “She’s not the only fish in the ocean”; “I’ll let you off the hook.” There are numerous expressions that liken people to...

So be careful how you act; these are difficult days. Don’t be fools; be wise: make the most of every opportunity you have for doing good. (Ephesians 5:15-16, TLB) These are difficult days! Now that can be an understatement for moms. LOL! We have many difficult days. Days we wonder what we did to...

Cerpen Kompas menjadi salah satu cerpen yang paling saya tunggu saban minggunya. Meski beberapa kali saya harus alpa membaca, entah karena sedang enggan atau memang sedang tidak bisa membacanya. Nama-nama seperti Seno Gumira Ajidarma, Budi Darma, adalah dua nama yang selalu tunggu karyanya di cer...

React is only a view-layer library. Thus React only enables you to build component driven user interfaces. It comes with a couple of built-in solutions though, for instance local state management and syntactic events to make interactions happen, but after all you are only dealing wi...

Am venit la Chişinău în septembrie, anul trecut şi după principiul să îmi cumpăr cel puţin o carte într-o lună, am luat VINIL de Igor Guzun.

Cred că am citit-o prima oară pe nerăsuflate. Asta se întâmpla în căminul studenţesc (şi ce păcat că nu căminul 6!), după care am început să o port cu min...

While I usually stand clear of rumors around here, there’s a bit of news concerning the new iPhone that would be hard to ignore. If you like surprises on Keynote day, you may want to stop right here.

Steve Troughton-Smith is well known for spelunking Apple Code and over the last few days he’s foun...
