Meditating …
I feel a bit adrift. Baneful! is finally out … the hard part remains: marketing. That will continue over the next rest-of-my-life, along with my other books. I can’t do that every waking hour, though, without turning into what I...
Summer’s Here!
Yes, I know. Summer doesn’t officially start until Friday morning. So sue me. The herbs aren’t waiting a week. I spent a long, lovely weekend in the garden. It’s true what they say: gardening is great therapy. Just in case you...
Baneful! Release Day!
OMG. I am so excited … and relieved. Baneful! 95 of the World’s Worst Herbs is finally out! It’s currently available in paperback through Amazon US and Amazon UK. In the next couple of weeks, it should be available to...
Friday in the Garden
Isn’t the thyme pretty? The bees seem to think so, too. They’ve been feasting on the delicate blue/purple flowers all week. Except, of course, when I went to get my camera. I’d love to find their hive – I’ll bet the...
Wisteria
Driving around Atlanta (Georgia, USA) in the springtime is a feast for winter-weary eyes. Flowering Bradford Pear trees share the awakening landscape with Tulip Poplars. The real color riot happens when the Dogwoods and Azaleas bloom almost...
Old Herbals
Goodness! It’s been a harrowing couple of weeks. My computer’s hard drive crashed and even using an online backup service, I had to recreate some data files – right in the middle of tax season! I’m mostly back to what...
Cleaning Out!
On Saturday, I said I was going to play in the shop. What started out as a “take the top layer of dirt off so I can stand it” turned into a weekend-long, full-blown reorganization of my work bench and storage shelves. (On the plus...
Saturday Musings-Retrograde Style
I’m only on my third cup of coffee … forgive me if I ramble a bit. Today starts the first of three Mercury retrogrades this year. I’m a Virgo and Mercury is my ruling planet so the retrogrades affect me more than, perhaps, other...
So You Wanna Be A Published Author – Part 2
A year ago (that long?), I blogged about my experiences publishing my first two books. I finally finished herb book #3 and thought I’d share what’s happening with it since I was undecided in that post: I’m still being hounded by...
What Herb Are You?
Last week, I had a thought … it didn’t even hurt much. Those of us who work with plants on a regular basis know they have they own personalities. Recognizing this, I asked my Facebook and Twitter peeps the question, “If you were...
Release Day!
:takes big breath: My first fiction book, Stressed! Ogre’s Assistant Book One is out! If you’re a fan of urban/contemporary fantasy, you may like it. If you’re a secretary or administrative assistant, it’ll make you...
Rain, Rain Go Away
I’ve been saying that since Monday and am now slapping myself upside the head with, “Be careful what you ask for”. I don’t think we’ve seen the sun in two weeks. I know we haven’t seen it this week. As I write...
