So…I’m busting my arse through the final stage of the revisions and some changes I applied made on entire chapter obsolete. I highlighted the piece, raised my shaking index finger, muttered a series of short, pathetic sobs I attempted to stifle, then hit, “Delete”…and promptly broke down in complete disarray. All that work, all that […]

Poem – My Sea of Dreams
MY SEA OF DREAMS Once, before enchantment ebbed, Once before my magic’s end, There beyond the forest’s edge, I saw my sea of dreams. Abandoning my shoes and socks, Rolling up my jeans and frocks, Taking up my sticks and rocks, I dove into my sea. And there it was my dreams were […]
The Scrap Book
Part of writing has always been organizing the writing. But there is a big difference between storing and sorting a book, and storing random “snippets” as they come to you.

Angela steps into Bergen’s blog…
The lights are out. The bar feels…different. Angela conducts the infamous shifty-eyed inspection: left, right, left. Bergen is nowhere in sight, but the tension weighs too heavily on her shoulders. Something is most definitely up. She takes one step, and the 240-pound Viking prince plow-drives the writer to the floor and all goes dark. […]
A note about a Norsemen’s honor
In Nordic cultures, honor meant much more than dignity or respect. It determined a man’s credibility and dictated the level of respect he would receive.
