  • Life’s Little Adjustments

    I know it’s been a long time since I made a blog post here. Life has really been throwing things at me this year.

  • Five Year Cancerversary

    Cancer survivors know what a cancerversary is, but there are differences in opinion about what day it should mark.

  • Excerpt: The Mirror’s Image, third chapter

    Are you ready for The Mirror’s Image? Well, it’s almost ready for you, too! Third chapter, for your enjoyment Saturday July 4, 1992   There was something slightly ironic about getting married on Independence Day, but it didn’t bother me in the slightest.

  • Excerpt: The Mirror’s Image, second chapter

    While we all wait for the cover to be ready, here’s another chapter! Thursday, July 2, 1992   I woke around six, as was my habit on a weekday. I still felt a little stunned, but certainly more clear headed than I had been yesterday. I slipped out of bed and dressed quietly. Kristy appeared…
