Of Pride and Power Prologue and Chapter 1 is live

Of Pride and Power Yes, I am starting a new book. It's original and the concept was something I was mulling over for a while. I've written gay/bi/trans characters, but I've never attempted to write an intersex character. LGBTQIA+, the I is for the intersex within the community. Rarely have I seen anyone attempt to explore this area or consider themes about people in-between, not ready to define themselves through surgery or designate non-binary stance, born with bodies that don't confo

Cats Grieve

You have to know them to understand, but they do. When they are missing someone, they look for them, call for them, and wait for them in their usual places. After a while, somehow they know their person isn't coming back, and it's heartbreaking to watch.

Real Life (is being a bitch)

My Mom is in hospice care. I'm glad someone else is doing it because I just couldn't. I'm going to lose her, but in truth, she's already gone. I keep going to her bedside and reading to her. She smiles. I know she hears me. It won't be long now. She has Dysphagia, an inability to swallow, and is losing weight rapidly. If I vanish for a while, I have much to do.

It'd better die

. I. No one has a right to a broken heart, They'll try and tell us, Cuz this age of Internet and A.I. Only loves a wedge.   A heart that feels, right about now's, not smart, And ain't tough enough To force a way through when it'd better die Than admit it cares.         II.
