I'm a giant sucker for the creative process! It's hard when the universe and my subconscious don't operate on my command, but if I can be patient, these are the carrots that make me stick with writing.(less)

Since I'm obsessed with military communities, I'm calling it The Ballad of the Sad Commissary. It's just an experiment to amuse me while I'm working on a longer project. We'll see if/how it pans out!(less)

I love everything Fredrik Backman writes, some books more than others. The Beartown trilogy is my favorite but this one ranks right up there. I was emotionally invested right from the beginning, and I'm pretty stone-hearted so that is saying somethin ...more

“If you weren’t there during one of those firefights you wouldn’t be able to get your head around it. Hell, I was in plenty of firefights, and I’m not sure I know what went on over there. The VC understood us better than we did them, but nobody’s got a lock on the whole story. Certainly not a bunch of drunk old grunts.”
Nancy Stroer, Playing Army

“I will unmake him,” said the clock wife simply. “I will pull the marrow from his bones and pour lead into the spaces left behind. I will make his dying into a place and visit it every day until the end of eternity.”
T. Kingfisher, The Seventh Bride

Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Whilst the men and women involved in the July Plot of 1944 are generally regarded as heroes, it should be remembered that few, if any, intended to replace the Nazi regime with anything approaching a modern representative democracy. Stauffenberg and others were in favour of retaining much of the territory that Germany had seized from Poland in 1939 and wished to negotiate an end to the conflict only with the Western Allies – they fully intended to continue the war in the east against the Soviet Union. They planned to insist that Germany would not be occupied by any foreign power at the end of the war, and that prosecution of any war criminals would be a matter purely for German courts.”
Prit Buttar, Into the Reich: The Red Army’s Advance to the Oder in 1945
