It's not a proper lazy Sunday without the Funnies to go with my coffee and doughnuts. Have a great weekend! ~Alex Norton {writer and wrestler of tiny alligators}
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
HALLOWEEN! Halloween is our family's favorite holiday, no contest. A great deal of time, thought and effort goes into costuming, decorations and trick or treat route planning. We make weekly pilgrimages to Spirit Halloween at the mall. It's a great reason to watch non-stop horror movies (like anyone needs an excuse to do that, amirite?).... Continue Reading →
Faulty Drains, Frogs, and Banned Book Week
I'm supposed to be fixing the upstairs shower drain. I did get as far as removing the hardware and finding the problem, but then I got distracted by coffee and the sun outside and wandered out into the yard to sit on a lawn chair. Then I dozed off, and when I woke up I... Continue Reading →
The House That Ate My Summer
I've been skulking around my favorite book blogs today looking for something to read and finally settled on Cold Storage by David Koepp. Reviews are good and the apocalyptic government-supercharged mold plot is right up my alley. It'll be the first book I've read in about four months, which may be the longest I've ever... Continue Reading →

Random Reading March 2019
My reading style is highly disorganized. I go to my local library every Monday and check out anything that looks good. I read them all at the same time (well, not at the SAME time...I toggle back and forth between them). I finish the ones I like and the ones I don't like end up... Continue Reading →
I dare anyone to figure out what any of this means, including me. I can still make out enough of this original outline to have written 200+ pages of Witchbone Book Two. Please excuse my horrible sketches. Like my favorite protagonist, I'm not much of an artist. I doodle compulsively on napkins, notes, day planners... Continue Reading →
