• When Germs Attack.

  Hello my ever faithful readers. I just wanted to post a note as to why I was ever so very quiet last week, and will be again this week. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been fighting off a headache and late last week apparently germs decided to take up residence inside my person.…

• Short Story: The Return Home

  

  The taxi driver smelled of grease, fat and … I wrinkled my nose at the smell. Rotting fish. I’d know that smell until the day I died. I tried just breathing out of my mouth as he clicked the meter and asked where I was heading. “Drop me off at Franklin and Watson Street. I…

• My Weighty Story: T- 29 days

  Yup. T-29 days. I have 29 days to get my big butt in some serious shape and ready for Wharf to Wharf. We received our bibs last week and it suddenly hit me how close it is. Wharf to Wharf is a 6 mile trek through town from the Santa Cruz Wharf to Capitola Wharf.…

• Red Ink is Therapeutic

  There is something Therapeutic about red ink. It means there is a process. Yes. This is a VERY rough draft of one of my stories, but the fact the primary story is on paper is only step one. The red ink has somehow made me feel better today. I opened my email and found a…

• Short Story: Chloe’s Ghost ( Part 3 )

    Chapter 3   Dr. Marshall looked at the heart monitor which had slowed to what sounded like half the normal amount of beats. When another alarm went off on a machine to the right he bent down on his knees and jabbed some tools up into my stomach. I just laid there. Not moving…

• Short Story: Chloe’s Ghost (Part 2)

  

  I felt light and airy. Weightless. Everything I saw was fuzzy and disconnected. I looked down at myself as my bare feet touched the floor and saw my perfectly manicured nails, all thanks to Halie who did them before the concert, come into focus. I remembered the concert, the music, the singing, the necklace Hunter…

• Re-Charged and Ready.

  

  Last week was a really bad week for me emotionally. I was just DONE! However, I was very much looking forward to our little vacation we took over the weekend. Let me tell you, just getting away and “unplugging” for just those few days, did AMAZING things for me. Friday, we loaded up the camper…

• Short Story: Chloe’s Ghost ( Part 1 )

  ( This originally was going to be a full length novel, but I’m currently having a hard time extrapolating my thoughts into a coherent story past the first two chapters. Therefore, there may only be a Part 1 & Part 2, which would be fine, or it may bloom into something more. )   Chloe’s…

• What’s your favorite short story?

  

  I was recently asked what one of my favorite short story was. Instantly, I said The Oblong Box by Edgar Allan Poe. “What?! Why? What makes it your favorite?” They asked.  “Poe is so dark. Kim I know your twisted, but REALLY?!” Yes, Poe is dark, and twisted, and yet, there is something REAL about…
