One of the very first books I wrote – maybe actually the very first – got a review that basically said the female character had a nice character arc but that the male character hadn’t grown at all. Obviously. Because he’d been pretty much perfect to begin with. Which isn’t remotely realistic. And even though […]
What do Socks Have to do with Gender Roles?
I reached a new low a few weeks back. Like, low-low. I had twenty-two unmatched socks in my laundry basket. And they were all mine. Twenty-two. You might wonder how on earth anybody can end up with twenty-two pairs of socks. The answer is simple. Single socks keep disappearing, and I have to buy new […]
The Heartbeat of Love (& a #giveaway)
It’s crazy to think about it, but next week, my husband and I will be celebrating our 25th anniversary. I’ve been married for more than half my life, and I’ve known that man for thirty-one years. Sometimes I think I know him better than I know myself. (Shh, don’t tell him I said that, though. […]
A Day in the Life (part 12) – final installment
Wow! What a crazy, fun, wonderful ride this has been. As with the ending of every story, I’m a little bit sad that it’s over. I can remember, though, when I despaired of these two ever finding their way to each other. There’s a certain kind of satisfaction that comes from seeing that hard work […]
A Day in the Life (part 11)
I hope everyone’s having a wonderful summer! It’s been hot here lately, and I find myself increasingly thankful for air conditioning. I’ve also discovered the joy of playing video games with my husband and son. I’m terrible at video games. My character is constantly dying. I can never remember which buttons to push for what. […]
A Day in the Life (part 10)
The story’s all done, and if memory serves (which it doesn’t always), there are only two more installments after this one. That kind of blows my mind. That means I’ll have spent an entire year on this. I’ve made a few corrections along the way as I’ve struggled with how much to say about the […]
A Day in the Life (part 9)
I hope you’re having a wonderful May! So far this month, I’ve attended a wedding and had a birthday. Pretty soon, it’ll be time for final exams and that big breath of relief that we all take when finals are over. And graduations! Do you know anyone who’s graduating this year? I do a weekly […]
A Day in the Life (part 8)
When we left our intrepid couple last month, things were getting just a little bit flirty between them. In a slightly awkward kind of way, of course. If you want to refresh your memory on any of the previous installments, you can find them here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6. and Part […]
A Day in the Life (part 7) & a #Giveaway
Welcome to the blog today! I’m glad you’re here! The end of this fun little more-than-a-short-story is finally in sight. I think I’ll have it wrapped up in another couple of months (two…or three…probably three). If you’d like to catch up on what’s already happened in the wonderful and slightly wacky world of Zephyra Prentice, […]
A Day in the Life (part 6)
Welcome to my fun little short story that got out of control and became slightly (and I use that term loosely) more than a short story! If you haven’t read the previous installments or need to refresh your memory, you can read the rest of the story here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part […]
