Asheville Writers in the Schools Write-A-Thon

Hi friends, Asheville Writers in the Schools is a non-profit organization that places writers in local schools to teach kids about the joys of reading and writing. I’m participating in a “Write-A-Thon” to raise funds for the program; I’m hoping it will help inspire me, too, to complete the children’s book I’ve been promising baby…

Object Permanence is now on Amazon

Some of you might know that I wrote a couple of books; the second one has now joined the first on Amazon. So here it is, in case anyone is interested. I suck at self-promotion, sorry. It’s a nice book, just a little collection of some of the nicer things I’ve written. Not sappy-nice, though.…

Asheville Band Re-Releases Original Night of the Living Dead with New Soundtrack

Zombie freaks, listen up. Psychedelic rock fans, stay tuned. NotLD purists, don’t bail on me yet. I’m freaking excited. I’m not one of those people who, caught up in the current monster craze, is all of a sudden OMGZOMBIES! (or would that be ZOMG?) but I have always loved George Romero’s original Night of the…

Pastor Charles Worley is a Psychopathic Idiot

Charles Worley is an asshole. The pastor of Providence Road Baptist Church in the tiny town of Maiden, NC–an hour and a half from where I’m sitting right now, lucky me–has been all over Youtube the past few days, spouting his ridiculous theory of how to get rid of the gays, lez-beans, quairs and homaseckshulls…

Amendment One

i feel as if amendment one is being read by the light of a bulb shining through the skins of my family, friends- my children. how can you cry your careful, scripted tears over the loss of a life not yet started and tell the child before you that his life means less than yours?…

Why I Voted Against Amendment One

This is what my life looks like: I am an adult heterosexual female. I live with an adult heterosexual male. We have expressed, both verbally and through the way we live, our commitment to each other. We each wear a ring that symbolizes that commitment. We share responsibilities: grocery shopping, bills, housework-though I will say…
