Well, this is at least not as awkward as last time…I’ve only been absent from the blog 13 months instead of two years. A few announcements- a giant thank you to LDB Press, as they have picked up Paranormal North Carolina, and we all eagerly await it’s release date. (Ok, I eagerly await the release …
So…this is awkward
How do you explain a two-year absence on your blog? a) ignore it and just proceed like you’ve been updating it regularly b) remind everyone your primary job is “therapist” and we’ve been in a pandemic c) announce that at least during the pandemic you wrote a book d) all of the above Let’s go …
It’s been a while, but when lightning strikes…
I should have scrolled back to see when my last post was. I really should have. I am kind of scared to, because I am afraid that the year in “18” instead of “19” and that is just… well, there’s no excuse for that. Despite working 4 jobs, 3 jobs? (I’m not sure how to …
I’m officially old
I haven’t got the AARP card application in the mail YET, but I got the second closest indicator of oldness- a Facebook invite to my 20 year high school reunion in October. Now I can do math (a fact that’s debatable if you’ve been to board game night with me and watched me struggle to …
No, we can’t cancel Christmas this year.
I’ve been hearing this A LOT this year from colleagues, clients, random people in the street. This idea of canceling Christmas isn’t new. There’s a movie about it, and even when I googled “Cancel Christmas” to fact check that there was indeed a movie about it, my hits were all blog posts “Why We Canceled …
I survived Black Friday- as a retail clerk!
Many of you know that my “real” job is not an author. It is being a therapist. So you might wonder why I was working retail on Black Friday. Over the summer, I picked up a few hours here and there (PRN, as we say in the medical world) at a little, locally owned, used …
Let’s start over- a lesson on the Missing Man Table and respect in general
So my hometown kind of has a bad rep- Fayettenam, The Ville (or Da Ville, if you prefer), Fayetteville is known for it’s “go go dancers and car lots” as my one LCAS supervisor used to say. (“Go Go dancers” is putting it mildly.) Over the past few years, there has been a small group of people …
It has been a while, but now I can see!
Not that I couldn’t see before, but I was hoping to gain a little sympathy from my publisher, also a writer, whom has probably killed me in at least three of her books. I have put aside all work on my novel and marketing and everything to help the baby sis get ready for her …

Catching Up and Preaching ?!!?
If you’ve followed my blogs in the past, I’m always apologizing in the March/April time frame and telling you that it’s my busiest time of year. It really is. (Crap, typing “blogs” made me realize I haven’t written on my Square One blog in forever. I’ll remedy that soon enough.) This year, instead of chairing …
