February Blues

February 14, 2018, Author: Kristin Jacques

This month started with such promise ….   Until I became a flu-ridden, wheezing, clammy mouth breather.   Welcome to the wonders of Winter, where your children are walking petri dishes and life likes to taken sudden unexpected pivots into waiting ditches.

I can’t support this tweet enough.   The holiday season can be tight for many reasons.

December 8, 2017, Author: Kristin Jacques

Why serials?   It’s not the advent of the internet invented serial fiction. On the contrary, it was pretty common to serialize a novel throughout the 1800’s. Dickens made a career from serializing his work. Somewhere along the way, with the rise of publishing houses, releasing a work all in one go with bare minimum […]
