January is a time for new beginnings, and apparently, for looking back. This month, I’m exploring words named for people, or, as in the case of January, named for a God. January is the month dedicated to Janus, the two-faced God of beginnings, transitions, and as such, doorways as well as the rising and setting of the…

Author Shorts Question 4: What type of character is your favorite?
I’ve started a new segment where I’ve asked a variety of authors to answer a few questions that I pose. Of course, I love a twist. All answers had to be no more than two sentences. Brevity presents a greater challenge. For me the process was delightful as well as insightful. I love that authors…
#WerewolfWednesday: A patient wolf
To celebrate the release of the final book in my werewolf trilogy, here is a quote from Lana Turner that says it all. #WerewolfWednesday.
From the #QuoteGarden: Late November
November continues to plod across the calendar with the resolve of a migrating herd. Yet such dreary days inspire us to see the world in beautiful terms. Certain times, if we want beauty, we must find it. And how we describe what we see to others such as much about ourselves as it does the…

From the #QuoteGarden: November
November is a month I am, well, let’s say that I’m hard on November. It’s one of those in between months that can’t quite decide what season it is. It swirls with chill and drizzle. Some mornings awake brilliant with frost while others are simply dingy. November colludes with its brother month, March, to make days short…
Otherworldly Words: Timorous
This month in #Otherworldly Words, I am exploring words to do with fear. Timorous continues the path of words that cast contempt on those who show fear. Exploring the nature of fear is important. Certainly, fear has many natural components, survival instinct and adrenaline for instance. But the meaning we place on fear as a…
Otherworldly Words: Cower
This month in #Otherworldly Words, I am exploring words to do with fear. The first two words described cowardice. Cower is an action that demonstrates fear. Interesting is the link between being afraid and shame, since one can “cower with shame” as well as fear. If you enjoyed this post, look around, or sign up below…
Otherworldly Words: Poltroon
#Otherworldly Words explores words that deal with the frightening or supernatural. This month I’m exploring words that express cowardice. Poltroon derives from Old Italian meaning foal and Latin meaning young animal. This is similar to calling someone a “scaredy cat” to liken them to a young horse that startles easily. It’s important to note that the…
From the #QuoteGarden: Autumn flowers
Autumn is my favorite time of year! The air has a quality unlike any other time. It’s sweet, but not the young sweet of spring. It’s drier, but not a harsh dry like the end of summer. There’s a chill, but not the gelid air of winter. It’s a bit of perfection squeezed between two vastly different…
