Spring? Spring!

The calendar and the weather agree that it is spring (at least for today). Let’s celebrate with this pretty painting and a relevant quote:

“It is spring again. The earth is like a child that knows poems by heart.”-Rainer Maria Rilke

Fossil Lake III: Unicornado! is Now Available!

I was too busy to submit to Fossil Lake III: Unicornado! but I’m just as excited about its release as I was about last year’s Fossil Lake II: The Refossiling (which features my horror story Beyond the Boneyard Gate).

Go here to learn more about the new release!

So I Wrote This Thing About Dorothy Lamour, Sexism, and Ageism! It’s Funny, Though, I Promise!

Here’s my contribution to the Dorothy Lamour Blogathon, which I hosted along with Ruth of Silver Screenings!

Enjoy (I hope!).
