Mother Nature: WTF?!
I'm pretty sure I'm not the
only one thinking that Mother Nature's lost her frickin' mind. After weeks of
freakily late winter storms/weather, I finally got to plant a garden out back.
Just a small one (really small), but manageable for me alone. Cute raised bed,
tall stakes for the plants when they sprout, watering can and bottle, and some
good rich planting soil. I planted things just a few days ago, and the weather
has been absolutely wonderful. Beautiful spring days, not too cool but not too
warm. Clear skies even!
Well, today it's raining
(with a few rumbles thrown in--just not enough for MY liking), so not much need
to water the garden. Of course, I venture over to weather.com and see what
things will be like throughout the day and tomorrow, plus the weekend (we're
doing a DC trip on Sunday/Monday). Everything looked pretty good: not hot, not
much rain toward the weekend, and a slight touch of spring coolness. I can
totally live with that.
An hour or so ago, something
new popped up for the alerts for Salisbury, MD...
Freeze warning.
*blinks*
Exsqueeze me? Baking
powder?!
FREEZE warning? In
mid-April??
What in the names of the
gods is going on? O.o
Suffice it to say, poor
Mother Nature is a tad...off her rocker, methinks. Or simply confused. But, then
again, she can join the club. I'm not sure there's anyone left in the US who is
NOT confused over this weather. And to think, mid-upper west is looking at
another potential winter storm.
I'm done.
So done.

Call me Katherine or
Mychael--I'll answer to both. I'm a mother, student, author by trade, and
editor by compulsion. I've been in the publishing business for several years,
namely as a writer but also as an editor on occasion. It never fails, though. I
always end up editing eventually.
I'm a proud bibliophile, to
which my poor sagging bookcases can attest. I read all the time, namely fantasy
and romance.
When not writing or reading
or editing, I...eat. Maybe sleep. Or watch Spongebob. Yes. I am a
self-proclaimed, thirty-something year old Spongebob Squarepants addict. Much
to my roommate's dismay. It's fun.
If you're curious about what
I write (and who wouldn't be?!), then you can find me below:

Magnum Opus
A Dark Performance:
Spurned by the only person
he ever loved, Hunter is the perfect image of a tortured artist. A sorcerer
moonlighting as a singer, he uses his magical arts to tantalize the audience
during his band’s performances. His preferred method? A sphere that drifts
above the crowd, a beacon that calls out for someone–anyone–who will understand
him. On one particular night, Hunter finally receives an answer.
Novel Visions:
Jonathon Cayle is a horror
novelist visiting New Orleans for a two-week long book signing stint. Unhappy
with his life back in Atlanta with his girlfriend, he is grateful to be able to
explore his preference for men while he’s out of town. What he finds in New
Orleans, however, is the last thing he ever expected.
Visions of the Night:
Three years have passed
since horror novelist Jonathon Cayle encountered his vampiric character Kain
Hart. Since then, they’ve made a home together in Atlanta, living as any couple
would. However, Jonathon’s curiosity about vampires has grown, and he finds
himself contemplating the final step: becoming one. The question is: can he get
past his fear of venturing into the unknown realm of life after death?
