  • Magical World

    I write this post sitting in my living room using only the light of the windows since the power is out due to a snowstorm, and I can’t help but think: we live in a pretty magical world. And I don’t mean magic like witches and wizards and the paranormal (though those are definitely cool…

  • Paranormal Utopia

    While my original intent was to consider dragons, considering the kind of week it’s been, I’ve decided I wanted to look at why I love paranormals and their magical powers, especially writing them. Because I get to be a god. Okay, so that was a bit short, hmm? 😉 Let me explain. See, life is…
