Short Story Advent Calendar Unveiling: December 23

Oh my, just two more days to go! I’m enjoying the stories but these videos are ALOT of work! Maybe next year I’ll just do social media updates as I work through the calendar or something…


This video is one of my longest yet, but I feel like I say next to nothing in it. Probably because I had no idea how to describe the science fiction story I just read in the advent calendar; it is literally out of this world! I know you’re groaning at the pun, but seriously,…
I’m on a roll with cat books lately, but I promise this one will the last for awhile (until another one comes across my desk, at least). The Inner Life of Cats by Thomas McNamee has a lot of similarities to The Lion in the Living Room by Abigail Tucker, but this book focuses on…
I’m tight on time these days (isn’t everyone at this time of year?) so I’m squeaking in these videos right at the tail end of my toddler’s nap. Or, in today’s case, her two hour lay around in bed, singing and reading books. Whatever, I’ll take whatever alone time I can get, especially because these…

Here we go-only three days left after today!

It’s getting to be that time of year folks! December starts tomorrow, and I’ve got my advent calendars (yes, that’s plural) locked and loaded. To mark this special time of year, I’m going to be posting a video each day on my youtube channel until Dec. 25. They’ll be short and sweet, recording my unveiling…

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this: our beloved Pearl has passed away, and because she played such a large part in this blog, I thought it best to alert all of you that you will no longer be seeing photos of her in my future posts. Pearl lived a good life, she…

Very accomplished story telling. I felt like the legends of the dogs came full circle at the end when the boy and his dogs were heading for the sea—the poor woman who had to sell her dog, but it came back to her across the ocean, and the boy and his dogs perhaps doing the same to return to his mother…either that, or he knew he had to kill them, as his father suggested following the story of the woman and her dog. This one pushed a lot of buttons. I really liked the structure, as well.
Sorry to hear about your squares. Hope the party went well. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos; it makes reading the stories more enjoyable.
Thanks for following along and commenting Cathy, it’s greatly appreciated! Merry Christmas.
Oh, my gosh! Your squirrel story reminds me of when I baked fairy cakes and had to throw them out and then a raccoon ate them out of the dumpster 😂
To this day, your fairy cakes blog post is one of my favourite that you’ve ever written.
Hahahaha, thank you, Anne! 😂
Still, the fact that the squirrel ate them at least proves they must have been good! I’m excited to find out what’s behind “tomorrow’s” big square!
You will have already been disappointed then :(
