What is underneath the tarp on the blood-spattered floor??
I write mostly horror short stories, blog quirky stuff, and keep up with my full time and part-time teaching jobs. I am also a little obsessed with cats–this picture is one of my kitties Socks hiding under a tarp. With the help of Photoshop, he instantly became Darth Kitty.
By the way, I am having a pandemic sale for my stories and tidbits–50% off everything. Check it out–you might find a story or two to keep you entertained; Netflix can’t last forever.
Waaaay back in the day, when I was in grad school and under a lot of stress and pressure, I had a lot of vivid dreams. I recalled them pretty decently, so I decided to make a dream journal and record them all. I rediscovered the journal last week and decided to polish them up […]

When we were working on our hardwood floors, my husband was laying down vapor barrier one day and our kitties, Socks and Elsa, thought it would be hilarious to jump around and knead on the barrier, putting little holes in it. My husband kept shooing them away, and they kept coming back. He tossed their […]

There’s been a lot of fear and nervousness around the corona virus outbreak, so I figured I would do a post on what I tell my students when they ask. Wash your hands. The best thing to protect yourself if you do get the virus, or anything for that matter, is to wash your hands. […]

Sometimes bad days just happen. One Christmas Eve we were coming back home late at night, happy, laughing, and looking forward to spending the holiday with more family. We walk into our house, and all seems well. My husband decides he is going to take a quick shower. I’m bringing in our dogs from letting […]

Inventing is a numbers game. Edison said it the best, “I found 10,000 ways not to make a lightbulb.” Nowadays, you can google how a lightbulb works and it seems like common sense. But when candles were the only source of light at night, no one had a clue how a lightbulb worked. This resonates […]

I’ve been inside a haunted house. Once, when I was in undergrad, other students told the story of a teenager who murdered his parents and burned down the house. I didn’t believe it might be true until one of them told me where to find the house remains. I got chills. That conversation always stuck […]
