I haven't been posting here with any regularity because it's always the last thing I turn my writing attention to in a day and lately my days are filled with novel 2.0 and short stories (and it all has to happen in the two hour window of baby nap). I am happy to report that the novel is actually progressing and two stories are done and submitted. Hopefully, in six months to a year I will have good news to tell you about them!  Anyway, just wanted to say that the blog is still banging on, just not with any semblance of a rhythm. As a bonus for checking in, here's a quick list of books I've really enjoyed reading in the past year, in no order at all. If you've read any of these, please share your thoughts, good or bad (bad is always more interesting!). 

A short little piece I wrote many many months ago, about the heaviness at the end of love,  is up at Flash Fiction Magazine. Check it out if you have two minutes to spare!
