I don’t believe in ghosts. When I was younger, I think I liked to believe that ghosts really did hang around certain areas…i.e. basements, attics, campgrounds, abandoned barns, etc. But the older I got, the more skeptical I became. All those shows on TV about ghost-hunting and real-life hauntings? I think they’re crap. But that [...]
As I was thinking about which tea to write about today, I thought I would look to see if any holidays landed on this day that I could relate to a certain kind of tea. For example, if today were Christmas, I would write about Christmas Tea, a Ceylon black tea flavored with cinnamon, cloves, [...]
Back in the day, book covers were pretty boring. In olden times, sometimes all you saw was title on the book’s spine. In the 50s, you saw very old-timey cover illustrations that just looked kinda weird. And then in the 1980s, lots of young adult books featured pictures of real people on their covers – [...]
With all the media coverage surrounding Hurricane Irene, I was inspired to read a book about storms. I’m slightly obsessed with storms, and try to fit in a good storm whenever I’m writing a story.

Since I had the day off today – and a couple hours of ME time – I decided to swing by my local closing Borders to a) see how much percentage I’d be getting off books, and b) see if there was even anything left. Well, there was still a lot left – probably due [...]
Since we live in a world of soda and beer, I’ve decided that once a week I will introduce you to a new tea and share with you the benefits of that particular tea. There are so many teas out there, yet all people are really familiar with are black and green. But did you [...]
I’m sure there are some really good books out there written for adults. I may have even read a couple that weren’t required reading in college. The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon, for example, is really good…mainly because it’s a time-traveling sci-fi Scottish history smutty romance novel. And I also admit to reading a Philippa Gregory [...]
