The story below was written not for 9/11, but for 4/19. And yet, it holds true for all such tragedies, here, and around the world. For the victims. And for the survivors. May we all find peace. Â Shalom aleikhem.
It is an everyday. It will never be any other day. Read More »
Working, working, working. Slightly manic, in fact, but that’s more yay than uh-oh. Unfortunately, one of the prime indicators that I’m in a massive manic word-creating mode is that I have an utter disinclination – nay, an actual aversion – to doing any kind of meal-prep.

Today is BookDay for TRICKS OF THE TRADE. I am so proud and happy of this book, I wish I could spend all day kvelling over it, sharing reviews and stories. But something happened this morning that has taken my attention and energy away. Early in the morning, the NYPD raided and cleared Liberty

I have 3 different stories (2 novels & the Kickstarter novella) running around in my head. This may be why I woke up at 4am. If I wasn’t so psyched about all three projects, I’d be seriously pissed. But I woke to find that USAn voters have said “unions are good, giving fertilized eggs more
