As many of you who follow me may know, I lost my father last Friday. While it was a very sad day for me and my family, we all wanted a peaceful passing for him because he was in so much pain in the end, and he had a very good life. As we reminisced… Read More Ode to My Father
A common trope in romance centers around how a person’s past affects future relationships. It’s often used as a way to explain a person’s hesitancy to get involved with someone new. Sometimes it’s a bad break up in the past. Sometimes it is a deceased partner they simply cannot get over. Sometimes there is real… Read More The Rear View Window and the Windshield
I don’t remember ever hearing the term kitten therapy when I was growing up. Coming from a family of psychologists (my father, sister, and brother-in-law) you would think this breakthrough therapy would have made it to the dinner table for discussion of the merits, but alas it did not! So, of course I had to… Read More Kitten Therapy…
Most everyone knows I have a touch of OCD, but lately I’m wondering about my increasing lack of attention to any one thing. I’ll read while watching the news (and yelling at the news), then I’ll switch over to one of my games (Bingo, Word Serenity or Match to Win) or I’ll scroll through Facebook,… Read More Shiny New Objects
So…I woke up this morning (early) and when I looked at my iPad, I gasped. How the hell is it Friday already? Needless to say, I was not at all prepared with a blog.

I know, I know…it’s the end of summer and Fall season is around the corner which is definitely not the season for shorts. But this is not the shorty shorts I am talking about. While I don’t have a new book coming out until January 2022, I have two short stories in two different anthologies,… Read More Shorty Shorts Season
With the Fall season right around the corner as September firmly plants its feet in the ground, we’ll all soon begin to see the debate around pumpkin spice heat up. The vitriol behind the chatter on this seasonal flavor is truly mind-blowing. It’s a spice, people, not something as important as having one’s reproductive rights… Read More The Pumpkin Spice Wars…
Warning: Not much humor is in this blog, because Aggravated Annette decided to come out to play today. The other day, I came across a post that is unfortunately all too common these days. It goes something like this: A picture is posted of a man or woman (but usually it’s a woman) and people… Read More Cyberbullying
I know…I just can’t help myself. Whenever I come across something interesting related to my vagina, clitoris and other private parts, I have to share it with y’all. I don’t know if it was vagina week or what, but there were three interesting things that caught my ear or eye this past week. I know… Read More Let’s Talk Private Parts
