The #TwistedPresents #Kickstarter broke another stretch goal! All backers get my book of Christmas tales, another story, and another whole bonus book.

It's passing the point where I can publish the book and turning into a good deal for backers, which is always cool.

How it started.

"I kinda fell in love with Mother Khumalo and her daughter Amnandi. Kinda wanna see what they do next, only in a full-length novel. Got a working title of Breath, Warmth and Dream. Let’s see what I can do with it."

Come, and know me better.

How do I explain to #picaTheCat that I cannot "turn the nor'easter off" or "turn up the sunshine more" on the roof.

She meows at the door.
I open the door.
She meows at the torrential cold crisp rain to "stop at once" ... then at me for not helping.

Happy #caturday !

Bunny had her yearly vet visit last week. Everything (blood, fecal, urine) showed up as normal! Yay no dental cleaning costs this year!

The vet says this means her recent increased vocalizations at night is probably a sign of dementia 😭 I've set up a timed feeder for her and that's helped.

If y'all have any tips/tricks, info for things to watch out for in older cats with dementia, please do share!

Sodium Citrate is the secret ingredient to make any cheese into smooth, creamy nacho cheese sauce.

Coincidentally, Sodium Citrate's chemical formula is ...

Na₃C₆H₅O₇

The day started with a dream being rudely interrupted, morphed into one of sewage issues, but ended with this. Jeffrey Ford is a writer who awes me.

The universe proves it can swing upward.

(I should note: the hardcover he mentions was exclusive to Kickstarter, but paperback and e are everywhere)

What kind of #Christmas stories are in the #TwistedPresents collection on #Kickstarter right now? Well, here's an elf who works in Santa's coal mine.

I'd appreciate your support in bringing this to the world.
