We went to my grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving, over the river and through the woods—we used to sing that song when I was a kid and we were making the trip to her place. It’s the small town my father and two aunts grew up in, birth to high-velocity escape post high school. None of [...]
The weather is fantastic this week, 70 degrees and fall colors everywhere. The last few weeks have been cold, cold—I’m not ready for cold! But not today, today it is perfect.
But I know we’re in the last days of warmth, over half the trees have lost their leaves. But still, there is so much [...]
Beware. Something lurks in this leaf pile.
You can’t see it? Look closer.
And what is this? An altogether different type of leaf monster, not a Lurker, but a Churner….
The moment of peace, after the storm:
If it’s [...]
Every year our country neighbors do the most amazing, hilarious, shocking Halloween decorations ever, and I swear, every year I think, how can they possible do anything new, they’ve done everything, but they always pull it off, proving that I have a stunning lack of imagination for a fantasy novelist, I mean, for gods sake, [...]
Time for a walk through the forest, brought to you by the semi-annual downloading of pictures from my camera’s ginormous memory card. These walk photos were taken a couple of weeks ago, a late August summer walk, no goats this time just Sophie and Henry, me and my camera.
I love going back and seeing [...]
Every thirteen years the red-eyed cicadas come out of their holes in the ground in a sex frenzy and they don’t care who knows it.
This one has recently come out of that skin thingy hanging there beside it. Aren’t they spooky looking? With those beady, staring, red eyes? Flying through [...]
I told the kids yesterday that I really do not like breakfast in bed, just in case anyone was considering it. Because breakfast in bed is, of course, the traditional mother’s day gift, and I wanted to preempt any designs in that direction because, hey, I don’t get it. What is the appeal, anyway? You [...]
We went to the giant candy mega gourmet sugar emporium today, wowza, I love that place. We bought foil wrapped chocolate hearts, sampled chocolate truffles, and got two small bags of candy by the pound. Sophie chose licorice mix and mary janes, Luc opted for jellybeans and buttermints. On [...]
What was that?
Flashing by: a bird, a plane?

Oh!
It’s Henry!
“Can I help [...]

"Dusi's Wings" April, 2003. . . .
"One thing fantasy can do for us is to give shape to the mysterious in the world; another is to make emotional yearning concrete. The early sections of "Dusi's Wings" do just that...there was a strong grasping towards the spiritual in fantasy here that was very promising, and I look forward to reading more by Lassiter." --review, Tangent Online.tags
