Games Authors Play
When I was 3, my big sis headed off to college. Beyond school and the occasional play date—which meant someone’s mom had to fire up the station wagon or VW Bug and drive across time—it was up to me to amuse myself… Continue reading Games Authors Play
Open to Interpretation
It probably comes as no surprise that I have nutty dreams. After all, I have a long and storied history of sleepwalking (and I mean “storied” literally since my sleepwalking inspired the plot of my second book), and vivid dreams and parasomnias like sleepwalking often go hand in hand. Or foot after foot, if I’m sleepwalking. Dreams fascinate me. In addition to being an English … Continue reading Open to Interpretation
Guest Chick: Wendall Thomas
We’re so thrilled to have Wendall Thomas visit us today! She’s hilarious in person, she writes hilarious books, and she has an affinity for chicks. Can’t go wrong with any of that. “I’m Not Sure I Heard Anything After Worm Basket” I’m figuring this is possibly my only chance to write a piece for the lovely and generous Chicks on the Case – about chicks! … Continue reading Guest Chick: Wendall Thomas
Good intentions
Filling out a medical form a few days ago, I had to write 2024 for the first time. Having been born and grown up in the twentieth century, this date still sounds futuristic to me. It brings to mind the song 2525, which first came on the radio in 1969. (I had to look up the release date and the artist, Zager and Evans). At the … Continue reading Good intentions
New Year, New Heart
Recently, my older daughter had to create a braided narrative for her English class. This means she wove together present and past timelines, along with different perspectives. Since the true story was supposed to contain a medical element, she decided to do an in-depth interview with my dad for inspiration. It’s been six years since my dad got a heart transplant, and it feels long … Continue reading New Year, New Heart

A Very Hilo Holiday
Inspired by Lisa’s enchanting post last Monday about decorating for the holidays and her adorable Christmasville village-turning-into-a-metropolis, I thought it would be fun to give you all a glimpse of what the holiday season looks like across the continent—as well as half the Pacific Ocean—from New Hampshire, in my little Hilo Town on the Island of Hawai‘i. Like our fellow Americans five hours ahead of … Continue reading A Very Hilo Holiday
