Once a month I post a book review for a fantasy novel that I’ve read in the recent past. These reviews are posted on “Magic Monday”, the second Monday of every month. (Except when I’m late, as was the case this month…) Today I’m reviewing The Mermaid Summer by Mollie …
This is a picture of me in Acadia National Park a couple years ago. It’s also my current profile picture on Scribophile, because I still haven’t gotten a good picture of my face (I’m simply not photogenic.) I like this picture because it reminds me that sometimes I need to …

It’s been a busy week so far, which is why these photos are somewhat belated–we visited the Cliffs on Tuesday. It was a beautiful day out, as you can see… The sun was in my face though, so I was squinting a bit. I make no apologies for my hair–the …
Not doing so great so far this month in terms of writing poetry, but I’ve seen some incredible vistas in the past week in my travels, so I’m sad to say I don’t feel all that guilty! Today’s poem is another haiku, inspired by my time here in Ireland. Ireland …
