I know it took me forever. Hopefully the next book won’t take that long. But today I typed ‘The End’ on the second book in my three book series. Look for it to be released on March 31 to Amazon and the other ebook retailers out there. Only Amazon will have the paperback, though. But […]
Rural Fantasy

Testing the new editor
The day must have finally arrived. WordPress has updated to Gutenberg. I hope this works better than the beta version I’ve been using over at the Wild Ozark website… it may be the theme I’m using there that is giving me so much grief, though. We’ll see when it comes to saving this post. If […]
Wild Places, Wild Hair
I live in a pretty wild and remote place. Living out here can lead to wild hair and a good tangle every once in a while. The other morning I slid and climbed down a steep hillside while tracing the line that brings water to the camper. Somewhere along the way it was blocked and […]
Chapter 1: A.R.S.A.
1| A.R.S.A. “ID, please,” a voice said from behind me. Of course. I knew better than to loiter. Ordinarily I would have noticed someone approaching. But today my nerves were on edge. My situational awareness lagged because I let the anxiety of what I was about to do take the lead. My name is Treya. […]
Musings during tax time
I’ve had my head buried in product descriptions and ledgers this week. It’s tax time. Well, it’s been ‘tax time’ for a few months now and the deadline is looming. Hence my renewed dedication to getting it finished. I also have some Forest Folk I want to list on the Wild Ozark shop pages, but […]
Order in Chaos
Order in Chaos An audible #glow of cascading moonlight surrounded her. It emitted a siren call of come hither- never have I heard a more irresistible song. Together we disintegrated like hoar frost vaporized in the morning sun, becoming Chaos, Order, Everything and Nothing all at once. We lay quietly, gazing at stars. “Do […]

The first book in this series is available now at Amazon and on pre-order until April 1 everywhere else. 2nd Hit should be ready to publish before […]
One Man’s Trash, a #vss365 #twitterfiction story
One Man’s Trash I vented out loud as I tossed another rock. How can something be both blessing and #curse? “Easy,” the old man said. “It’s all about perception. Like treasure and trash.” He patted his ancient rock wall and nodded toward my rock pile to illustrate his point. “I spent a #fair bit […]
New trilogy title and themed covers for all
I’ve been working on the second book in what used to be my Bounty Hunter trilogy. The title just didn’t do much for the marketing of the first book, though, and I’ve been trying to come up with something better for a long time. Now there is a new trilogy title. Introducing Renegade Agents of […]
100-Word Flash: Going in Circles
Going in Circles The third time in passing, there was no doubt. I recognized that tree. A slab of scaly bark, one end snapped clean, curled away from the trunk. On our second pass I’d taken the missing piece. I fished it out of my pocket for Misa. “This is no use. We’re getting […]
