Marsh Road

I turned so that we could both see the giant. It stood quite still in the marshland on the north side of the road, its legs sunk several feet into the muck. Almost as tall as the towering cypress trees, it gazed down at us.

The Marsh Road – Digital Art

Reading Time < 1 Min Read
Guys, I’m really digging this Procreate thing. It is making it so easy for a hobby artist with minimal skill create gorgeous art, including this scene set on the Marsh Road! It’s long been a dream of mine to be able to draw my characters and scenes, but I haven’t had the ambition to really learn the fundamentals of drawing. (I have way too many hobbies already, lol.) But now that certain tools and apps are available – along with plenty of resources online – my dream is becoming a reality. And I am so into it! Check out my…

Serpent & Dove – Review

Reading Time 5 Mins Read
An easy, fast paced read with sharp characters and a satisfying romance. Serpent & Dove was an easy purchase for me. I started with the audiobook from my library, stopped listening about halfway through, and bought the paperback to finish out the story. I also bought the sequel, which I’ll report back on soon. If the various plot points had been better connected throughout the book, this would have been a slam dunk Five Stars!!!! With two thumbs up.

Waking Up the Giants

Reading Time 3 Mins Read
I am so excited to announce that my latest short story is available now! Waking Up the Giants is one of those niggling little stories that started out one way… and of course became something entirely new and amazing that I would have NEVER predicted. This story started with a song, specifically Waking Up the Giants by Grizfolk. Every time this song came up on my playlist, I always thought, “Man, this could make a great story.” And I was totally right.

Death by Snu Snu – Did Futurama Cross a Line in Sexism?

Reading Time 5 Mins Read
Okay, let me start this out by saying that Futurama is my all-time, hands-down, no-question, favorite show of all time. But there is one episode that, even though it’s just as well done as every other, toes right up to the line of offensive. In case you couldn’t tell by the title, the episode in question is S03E05 Amazon Women in the Mood. Did this episode cross a line in terms of consent and sexism? How far is too far?

Jeff and Annie – How Community Dropped the Ball on a Beloved Romance Trope

Reading Time 7 Mins Read
I think we can all agree that Community is one of the better caricature sitcoms out there. The acting, writing, and comedy gags are just spectacular. Top notch, especially in early seasons. As a whole, Community is amazing. But for Jeff’s relationship arc with Annie? The writers totally shit the bed. It would have been fine to omit the romance entirely, but to tease us with it and then fail to deliver? Blech. Not cool cool cool.
