My Totoro garden party was gifted a wilting false shamrock leaf! Whether they will consume it or nurse it back to health is TBD.

I adopted a new spider plant and my toddler asked me why I have some big grass. 🤣

I mean, for all it's supposed rarity, it really does look like grass!

Tape on my finger
Say goodbye, circulation
Purple like a plum

All of my MCs are based on myself, so I lean into that and make her do what I would do!

Not me, but my mom has literally every Stephen King book... some multiple editions, too!

Singing my praises for fellow memoirist Suzanne Groves and her harrowing journey of narcissistic abuse in her book, You'll See. Powerful. Fast-paced. Raw. These words will leave you a mess.

Nice to see a fellow Hoosier!

Two of those hospitals (Corydon and Salem) are ones I choose in case of an emergency. All of Crawford and Harrison depend on Corydon's hospital! This is so, so disheartening.

Same. Then I convince myself that *nobody* actually likes me and they're all just being polite!

Oh, cheddar chunks! Oh, brie!

I also identify as a cryptid! 🐙

I'll see myself out...

LOVE me some Tom Waits!!!

Great website!!!

What a handsome buddy!

As her suspicions grow, Alimu's threats intensify. Repeatedly abandoning her with a series of increasingly improbable excuses, he tests Anna's trust and loyalty—even as he betrays her in the worst ways a woman can imagine.

Not only does Alimu convince Anna to barter away her passport—rendering her ensnared in his embrace—but he convinces her that only his word can be trusted as those around him began furtively warning her about his past. Armed only with rumors from strangers, she is forced to piece together the truth.

Amid the mountains of China, Anna falls in love with a Hui yak herder from the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. At first, he appears to be a kindred soul and charismatic lover. But with treachery, traps, and fraud at every turn, their passionate romance is doomed from the start.

Only two weeks until A Ghost in the Middle Kingdom (and my biggest secret) is released!

I landed in the city of Jinan, Shandong Province on February 11, 2011, at midnight. That's when the journey all started.

Love. Deceit. The Chinese police. Life takes us unexpected places.
