Hello, first day of spring! I can’t believe winter’s over…no, really, I can’t, because we have snow arriving tomorrow and my parents have been getting pounded with snow where they live as well. As much as I would like to see spring’s first buds and flowers, I think the plants …

Lieutenant Junior Grade’s Log, Entry 18: New release arriving next month!

February is known for Valentine’s Day, but I prefer the less-well-known Fairy Tale Day, which takes place on February 26th. Who needs cards and flowers when they could be reading a fresh new fairy tale retelling? In celebration of fairy tales old and new, my writer’s group, the Just-Us League, …
