Reliving in Novelling
Back to novelling. The second novel in The Q’Zam’Ta Trilogy. Will I last without NaNoWriMo’s external drivers?
Ebooks Up for Pre-Order — At Last!
Ebook pre-order announcement time! As some of you may know, I’d wanted to create an accessible ebook for Brain Injury, Trauma, and Grief: How to Heal When You Are Alone back when I released the paperback in 2022. But I failed. I never could figure out how to create an accessible ebook. Meanwhile, Smashwords had…
Cover Reveals Title
Today is the day! I’m ready to reveal the title and cover of the first book in my trilogy!! But first, drum roll, please, with a final cymbal ring, as I reveal the trilogy’s title.

Improving My Community Through Fiction
How would you improve your community? Back in the 20-teens, the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission — Toronto’s public transit system) was enraging me so much, I wrote a satire, starring a naïve TTC fan who landed a job there, much to her delight! I set up a Twitter account for her and everything. I wrote…
