If you've read my blog before, you may be aware this time of year is hard for me. (If you haven't read my blogs, you may want to start here: About Me, My Months, Moving On VS Moving Forward, and My Months PTSD Edition). This year, on May 1st, will mark 9 years. 9 years…
Sweep Me Off My Feet
As I was toodling around on Instagram, I came across a video I'd seen before. While it made me think the last time I saw it, it didn't give me the aha moment it did this time. This time, however, the lightbulb went off and I started thinking about book boyfriends, and specifically what it…
You Left Me Behind
Apparently, WordPress has made a change so pics and links cannot be added to blogs without having some weird grey bar show up in the blog in random places. What that's about, I don't know. So if anyone has an easy tech-for-dummies solution to this, please let me know in the comments. I'm beyond aggravated.…
The romantic failure of Nancy Makarova the corporate lawyer
(me - not my real name lol) Why do I write romance when I no longer believe I'll ever find it for myself? When a little girl dreams of the future, it could be anything from being a princess to an astronaut. But none dream of being multiple times and yet being single at *ahem*…

I've seen it described in a multitude of ways, and they're all true. And false. Everyone will feel some of the same things, some different. We are all our own people who…
My months
After the blog I posted the other day, and a conversation with another blogger, yesterday ended up being a day of introspection. It's been 8 years and 4 months as of tomorrow. I still deal with bouts of recurring memories, guilt, anger... All of it, really. I can go days, weeks at a time without…
The Words by Ashley Jade
Today's blog is also one I posted on my previous website. It's doing double duty as a review of The Words by Ashley Jade and my own thoughts and musings on the subject of grief. While I didn't intentionally read this book right before my own novella would be released, an important theme to this…
About Me
I posted this before on my other blog. (I was forced to give it up due to costs). I'm reposting it here with minor revisions. This was originally written about 16 months ago. April and May of every year are hard for me, as they bring up memories I would really rather not continue to…
