6 Ways My Love For Nature Makes Me a Better Writer

I’m a nature nerd. I have been since I was old enough to listen to my Grampa Al when he pointed out animal tracks and different kinds of plants and trees on our walks together. Thanks to him, I got interested in bird-watching. Thanks to him, I’ll never forget that the…

The Solution to Snow

This gallery contains 2 photos.

This is what my drive home from work looked like today. Since then we’ve had probably 6 inches of snow, and more is on the way. Here is my answer to that: Because cats are perfect little space heaters.

Sunday Snippet: Snowplows and Sixth Street

With the crazy snow coming down today, I thought this was an appropriate snippet. It’s from the story I’m currently working on–an urban fantasy set here in Central Indiana. One of the characters featured in this story is a character who appears in several of my other urban fantasy stories,…

Spring Mill State Park: Memories and Some Photos

I have opened a Cafe Press store!!! I’ve made some products using some of the pictures I posted on my LJ the other day, of Shades State Park and Pine Hills Nature Preserve. I’m going to be expanding and updating the store, and if you’re interested in having a certain…

Gales of November

The storm last night was incredible. It knocked our power out just a few minutes after I made my NaNo post, and the power stayed out until about 7:30 this morning. In fact the winds were so strong that Mom insisted I stay downstairs until the worst was over. This…

Ack! A spider just came crawling out on my keyboard tray! It was trying to get me! AHHHHHH! Sheesh.
