ASK MIMI #3: Family Squabbles? To Apologize or Not to Apologize
As most of us prepare for Christmas, we’re thinking about gifts, travel, hosting family, and baking cookies. This year, of course, there is the added fun of COVID and lockdowns in some places. (Ick, ick, ick!) However, most people will be seeing family, even if in smaller groups. And family gatherings often bring with them […]

If You Could Have One Wish, What Would it Be?
It’s an interesting question, right? I mean, it sounds easy at first, but when you really, truly start to think about it, the decision isn’t so straight forward. Do you wish for something completely selfless, like the cure to cancer? Do you wish for loads of money? Do you wish to undo the past or […]
FIVE REASONS WHY VAMPIRES MAKE TERRIBLE ASSISTANT LIBRARIANS
1. THEY HATE SHARING. It’s true! Little known fact but vampires really hate people touching their stuff. In the case of Michael Vanderhorst, the assistant librarian in my Librarian’s Vampire Assistant series, he’s especially touchy when it comes to books. He accredits this to his territorial nature, but whatever the case, it makes him a […]

WRITING FICTION. IT’S NOT ROCKET SURGERY.
Nope! LOL. Being a fiction writer certainly isn’t rocket surgery. It’s actually tougher than that. As my kids will tell you, rocket surgery is a level up from rocket science. “It’s super hard, Mom! I mean, like, how many rocket surgeons do you know?” Ha! So true. They got me there. But as corny as […]
