It’s been so long since I’ve written to you, dear reader… I went back to New York. On 19 June 2018, after seventeen years away, I went home. If you haven’t been following, I was raped on 9/11. Prior to 9/11, I had been in NYC once, twice a month. My earliest childhood memories were […]
Demonic Coffee Pot that screams like a banshee
I recently discovered (like…yesterday) that I LOVE writing reviews. My funny bone comes out when I write reviews. Here is an article I wrote from 2013. My coffee pot broke…BEFORE I had my coffee…and I immediately sat down and wrote a review on it in retaliation. Read the original review. I bought this model in […]

Poo-Pourri Review
I don’t write reviews unless I’m REALLY angry about a product, like my coffee maker. Oh, yes! Now THAT was a passionate review. Or really excited about a product…like Poo-Pourri. So here it is! I call it, “ATTENTION PARENTS! IT WORKS ON VOMIT TOO!” Yes, I spray the toilet. Yes, my poo now smells like […]
With You (The Letters): Chapter #1
With You (The Letters) Chapter #1 “You were never mine for you belong to Death.” My heart is pulling me apart. I can’t go, but I can’t stay. I can’t follow. Your words, they betwixt me and I fall into them again every night. The dream ends and I wake. I’m empty and cold. […]
The Karate Mind
It is 2017, and I have two teenagers in the house. That’s right. An almost 15-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy. My 10-year-old spends much of her time wishing she was in her teens. I. Do not. Needless to say…this is the best of times. This is the worst of times. One day, my beautiful […]
Pacing
Pacing makes or breaks a story. No matter how good the story is, or how well the author rights, if the pacing is off, the story will die. Go too slow and the reader will put down the book and ne’er return. Go too fast and the reader will get frustrated, confused, and feel cheated. […]

Dear Christian…again
On the subject of hate and fear… I was watching Big Bang Theory the other day. Sheldon said something that bothered me. Quick recap: Sheldon’s mother is a Fundamental Southern Baptist from Texas. Leonard’s mother is a professional psychologist and atheist. The women meet and, let’s just say it didn’t go well. Fast forward to […]
Racism
Recently, I’ve become painfully aware of one topic that has been creeping up more and more today. Ever since Trump took office, the subject of racism seems to be everywhere. I think often of what Morgan Freedman said. “[To end racism,] stop talking about it.” I respect Mr. Freedman, but I don’t think I agree […]
