November has been one of those weirdly pleasant months where I start to question whether I haven’t been paying attention or if it was actually good. In the US, it feels like the tide is starting to turn, which has bolstered my spirits, and the holidays are approaching rapidly (for better or worse). Here were… Continue reading November 2025 Wrap-Up Post

Today is the day we have all been waiting for, the cover reveal for The Reanimator’s Fate (TRM #4). Crowglass Design has outdone himself with the cover for The Reanimator’s Fate! The cover is *chef kiss* and captured the strain the boys are under in the final installment of the Reanimator Mysteries series. If you… Continue reading The Reanimator’s Fate Cover Reveal

As we head into the holiday gift-giving season, I thought I would make a list of some cool things to buy the neurodivergent in your life. I posted about this last year on Bluesky, and a lot of people found it helpful, so I thought I might share it here. Disclaimers: the links are affiliate… Continue reading What to Buy Your ND Friends

You ever get mad at yourself because something that should work actually does work, so you’re mad at yourself that you put off doing it for so long.

October has been productive yet anti-climactic. It’s been one of those months where things weren’t bad, but they weren’t particularly good either. I’ve been trying to enjoy the small things more, like the leaves changing and spending time with my partner and pets. And, of course, writing. Let’s look at my goals for October again:… Continue reading October 2025 Wrap-Up Post

I was not planning on writing about politics today, but as I worked on a post about the Audra Winter mess (forthcoming), I couldn’t stop thinking about the gubernatorial election that is going on in my state as we speak. If you’re in New Jersey, make sure you go out and vote, preferably Democrat/Mikie Sherrill.… Continue reading Vote, Vote, Vote!

All links below… Continue reading Spooky Season Nonfiction to Add to Your TBR

Back in March, I decided that I wanted to start Project Shop My Shelves (known as PSMS going forward). The goal of PSMS is to read twice as many books per month than I buy, but there are a few sub-goals that are equally important: I figured now was as good a time as any… Continue reading Project Shop My Shelves: Q3 2025 Update

I don’t know about anyone else, but September was the month of chaos for me. Between random family stuff, a bunch of medical appointments, and other things beyond my control, I felt like I was pulled in ten different directions this month. At the same time, I do feel like I did decently but not… Continue reading September 2025 Wrap-Up Post
