Flavia's village, Bishop's Lacey, is celebrating their patron saint. In the process, Flavia uncovers a body and is off on yet another mystery. Flavia's humor, intelligence, and mischievous nature are on full... Continue Reading →
2017 Check In
2017 is halfway over. I'm not usually very oriented to time so I don't know what year we're in on any given day - I really have to think about it when I'm asked. I don't want to think very hard about what that means for my mental health, but I hope that it illustrates... Continue Reading →
June Flip Through
Goodbye June, Hello July! Can you believe that we're halfway through the year? That is so insane! I just wanted to share a flip through my June bullet journal.

How I’ve Changed After 6 Months of Morning Pages
Today marks six months of writing morning pages. How unbelievable is that? For some reason, I took 3 weeks off in late May and early June. I sometimes do this: I'll be on a roll with something and then all of a sudden I stop. Then I forget to start again! Does that ever happen... Continue Reading →
Another Writer to Devour – Sherman Alexie
Errr.., you know what I mean. Don't devour the writer, only his work. On my way to work this morning, I heard Sherman Alexie being interviewed about his new book. Full confession: I've never read anything by Sherman Alexie. And - now this is embarrassing - because he has "Alex" in his name, I was... Continue Reading →
