As you can see, I've not been blogging very regularly lately. Between homeschooling and holidays and birthdays and camping trips and conventions...well, let's just say I've been busy.
It's normal though, for me, to be insanely busy this time of year. It's also normal for me to starting thinking about my accomplishments and my goals for next year. That's likely true of most people, I'm sure.
This year I haven't put out my third Toch Island book as I thought I would, but I did publish two ebook novelettes (Protection's Prison and Ordinary Folk).
I also taught at a writers retreat and worked panels at two conventions (Realm Makers and Necronomicon).
I participated in several craft fairs and author events at libraries.
And just a couple of weeks ago I did my first school visit.
Complete my novel, tentatively titled Relent. You can read about the premise here. It's in the editing stage, although this has been the hardest editing job I've had to do yet.
Complete two shorter works, both of which at this point look like they'll be novelette length, or possibly novella. One is Toch Island-related and the other is not.
When the above two goals are cleared, then I can dive in full-force with Toch Island 3.
Work even more conferences/conventions and get more school visits.
Push for more reviews of what I've already got out.
Yep, those sound like pretty normal goals for an author, eh?
Fan art for Toch Island Chronicles. I know, how completely narcissistic! But I keep seeing these authors posting art that readers have done of their characters (and trailers for their books) and I can't help thinking, "That would be so cool!"
Some time back, there was a discussion on Facebook that involved me mentioning that I'd love to be written as a villain in someone else's fiction. That thought has stayed with me. Some may think that's an awful wish, because we all know what happens to villains at the ends of stories (especially those of a speculative nature), but I would find it a total honor. I've always thought the actors who play villains in movies get to have the most fun, but I can't act :P.
There you have it. And if I don't blog again before Christmas, have a merry one!
As the villain, getting offed pretty much comes with the territory ;).
Yes, that wish intrigues me, too. Are you talking about writing the Bad Guy POV for someone else's book or doing a sort of "authorized fanfic" kind of thing of someone else's villain?
Actually, Cindy, I want someone to make me the villain in their story.
Okay, challenge accepted. I LOVE female villains. What kind of evil traits do you have besides OCD? Because I already know you will mercilessly TORTURE your minions for not waxing the floor properly.
I seee.... That could be fun(ny).
Oh, my. I'm so vlad I stopped by! This is going to be good!
I kinda liked "vlad", Janalyn. I was thinking along the lines of Kat Vladstone, vampire and owner of "We Bloody Well Clean It" maid service.
LOL--me, too. I was going to ask you, Janalyn, if you'd gone vampire on us :).

It's finally here: the 2018 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! Growing up, I would always use this sale to take advantage of back to school shopping and get prepared for fall. It may seem silly to shop for fall in July, but I find this is the best sale of the year.
When I shop the sale, I'm always on the look for staple pieces for fall, such as jeans, sweaters and boots.
I feel like I went a little crazy during the sale last year, so I am going to be more practical this time as we've been getting our home together. Also, Birmingham doesn't have a Nordstrom, so I will be shopping online for the anniversary sale.
These are the items I'm eyeing and I'll share what I purchase when it comes in. I will be continuing to update this post, so keep checking back. Also, check out the bottom for a $500 Nordstrom gift card giveaway.
I'm so excited!! I've already placed an order haha.

CZI, CASSINI RESOURCES LIMITED
Posted: Apr 4 2019, 05:12 PM
not much chat about this
From Mike Young's perspective at least, West Musgrave is the gift from BHP that just keeps on giving. In 2014 BHP effectively surrendered the West Musgrave nickel and copper play to Cassini Resources, which is one of two current exploration companies formed on the back of Young's entrepreneurial enthusiasm.
Not two years later Cassini lured OZ Minerals into a joint venture that has seen South Australia's other copper champion throw capital and in-house savvy at fully defining the breadth and quality of a still-growing host of discrete deposits that make up the West Musgrave story.
With that moving along tickety-boo, it rather looks like Young has lured another supporter to the Cassini party and this time it is on the customer-side of the equation. Cassini went into a trading halt on Wednesday and we are hearing it is preparing to confirm on Thursday a material placement to a strategic shareholder that is a nickel and copper end user.
My first thought was that maybe a major like Glencore might be a player. Then I recalled a conversation with Young a long time ago where he indicated a preference for crawling over broken glass than a partnership with Switzerland's miner.
There is, of course, a more obvious option. Last August the Street Talk crew reported that the principal of a Chinese manufacturer that makes long battery technology was one of several Asian-based investors who supported a $4.2 million share placement. Street Talk named Xu Jinfu as the new supporter. He is the chairman of Guangzhou Tinci Materials Technology Co. And the betting ahead of Thursday's announcement was that having entered for a penny, Tinci might now be in for a pound.
Having sat on the WMC and BHP shelf for nearly 15 years, things now look to be moving pretty fast around West Musgrave.
Does that mean BHP made a mistake when it sold West Musgrave for $250,000, the promise of a $10 million payment on the first anniversary of initial production and a 2 per cent net smelter royalty? No it does not. The mining world is littered with live mines that have dropped out of the majors. That is how it all works.
BHP surrendered West Musgrave because the known knowns of the distant Western Australian discovery (it sits pretty much on the border with South Australia) suggested it was never going to climb into the class that cracks it for tier-one status for the Big Thinkers. It was a special discovery for lots of reasons but it was not going to move the dial for the world's biggest diversified resources house. But what is too small for BHP can be company-making for someone with a keen eye and a managerial legacy that the majors trust.
As we have noted in the past, Young's track record in iron ore proved critical to BHP's decision to deliver its tenements to Cassini. Young was the force behind one of the original boom-time disruptors in the Pilbara, BC Iron. Over just four years he took a mid-quality, short-life iron ore deposit to highly profitable first production in 2011. BC Iron then surfed the boom until it couldn't, returning capital to shareholders along the way. And when the boom turned sour, it progressively passed control of its Nullagine joint to cornerstone partner Fortescue Metals Group. By 2012, Young had moved on.
The other figure important in establishing Cassini's credibility with BHP was Jon Hronsky. He was one of the WMC guys who developed the geotechnical modelling that led WMC's explorers to the most western fringes of WA's nickel country where they revealed the Babel and Nebo deposits that are two little nickel and copper suns around which the OZ appraisal work is circling.
The West Musgrave nickel and copper play has been a personal fascination since the discoveries were revealed at the turn of the century by the last great generation of eccentric explorers gathered together under the umbrella of Australia's most successful hard rock minerals whisperer, WMC
The greatness of the WMC crew was that they were the first to consistently find Australian ore bodies that could not be seen from the surface. The most famous of them was the first of the invisibles: Olympic Dam. But there were a host of others, including the Ernest Henry copper find that was subsequently lost to a pegging gaffe and then a much bigger copper discovery in the Philippines called Tampakan.
Tampakan was supposed to be the find that would make WMC people feel better about losing Ernest Henry. Localised terrorism, provincial indifference, environmental activism and regional and national political uncertainties combined to ensure it didn't...

Comedy movie scripts are screenplays for comedies.
A comedy movie's main goal is to make the audience laugh. Comedies can cover a broad spectrum of topics from the mundane to the absurd, usually with exaggerated characters and situations. Comedy is a large genre that includes several sub-genres, for example: romantic comedy, dark comedy, action comedy, and slapstick comedy.


An apartment search is often an important period in one's life if you want just the right home for yourself and at times for your family. You keep looking for an apartment until you get the one that gives you comfort and a homely feeling.
Earlier people used to depend on newspapers, when it came to a house or a search. But now the trend has shifted in the last few years. With the internet revolution, everyone prefers browsing online and gathering information. That saves ample time and the hassle of commuting. Apartment ads displayed on the internet describe in a detailed manner as compared to those in the newspapers. The best part is one can actually see the picture of the apartment. That gives you the feeling of almost visiting the place!
Let us now talk about apartments in Frankfurt, the city that never sleeps but dreams. City-Living has come up with the unique concept of offering suites and apartments in Frankfurt online. Plus the biggest advantage that City-Living offers is that the site is constantly updated to show you the latest available apartments. Suites in Frankfurt are offered at a decent price on City-Living's website.
For a short term business traveler or a family on the visit to Frankfurt, renting furnished apartments can be a solution if they do not want to spend too much on a hotel plus want a homely feeling. Furnished apartments are a home away from home.
City-Living offers rental of furnished suites that have a well equipped kitchen and household items. Moving to Frankfurt is now not that difficult as once you book an apartment or suite online, half of the battle is won!
You will fall in love with the downtown suite. It is luxuriously furnished with a nice kitchen and a French balcony. There are one and two bedroom apartments located at Kleine Hochstrasse.
The specialty of this area is that it is a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. Tall historical buildings adorn one side and the other side shows huge skyscrapers reaching for the sky.
So why wait for the move to the city of Frankfurt on Main? Pack up and get going! City-Living has its arms wide open!

Home Blog Communication Why Does Kindness go Viral?
Why Does Kindness go Viral?
Monday, 01 June 2015 10:14	Written by Sharon
News headlines always seem to be full of celebrity dirty washing or natural disasters of one kind or another from around the world, we have reality shows focussing on the negative aspects of life such as Benefits Street or Undateables and it seems people can't get enough of it. According to Psychology Today our obsession with bad news and disaster is down to our brains being hard-wired for bad news because our caveman ancestors had to look out for the negative things around them just to stay alive.
But perhaps these things are changing because you only have to look at how random acts of kindness go viral and are shared around the world on a multitude of social media platforms. Evidence of this goes back a fair way, such as the photo of a police officer providing a pair of boots to a homeless man in Times Square going viral in 2012.
More recently, disabled Alan Barnes, who was assaulted outside his own home, was helped by a crowd fund set up by total stranger Katie Cutler, who managed to raise £281,000.00 for Alan so that he could move to a new home.
What is it that makes acts of kindness so compelling that we happily abandon our taste for tragedy in order to spread good news?
Wharton Professor of Marketing Jonah Berger conducted a study which shows our desire to share good news is down to the level of our emotional response when we view something good. If something inspires an extreme emotional response it makes us more likely to want to reach out and share it with others to pass on the good feelings, helping us to bond.
As Aristotle famously said, humans are social animals. We feel the need to be part of a group or community, to belong. That's what social media is all about, we love them because instead of experiencing things on our own we share them via tweets and posts almost as they happen. We share our joy, our anger, our opinions on events/TV shows/news in real time. It's these human connections that boost our sense of community on both a close knit and global scale.
More research that enforces this is a study of 24,000 consumers in 16 countries found that people most connected on social media were most likely to lend a hand to a friend, offer up their seat on a bus, or volunteer for a worthy cause. The study shows the basic human emotion of empathy is the one which drives us to share messages that focus on other empathic behaviours and sharing online is quick and easy to do, so people are able to reach out to each other on the run when they come across these kind acts that grab their attention. They also restore our faith in humanity and increase our feelings of wellbeing.
Kindness ultimately makes us happy, it brings people together and heals pain. It's one of the things that defines us as human beings. Social media, of course, enables us to share kindnesses and will continue to be the way we choose to share them. Allowing us to continue being a member of those all important social groups across the world. And that, in my humble opinion, is a very good thing indeed.

This issue of the newsletter comes with some exciting stories regarding the latest innovations in the bus and coach sector. You can read, among others, about electric buses that charge in a few seconds, a self-driving bus successfully tested in real traffic conditions and bus-only guideways that help in considerably decreasing travel duration. A Belgian study concluded that people are open to travel by coach if certain conditions are met and seeing all these developments they might not be very hard to convince. With all these changes, how do you see the bus and coach market and services in the next 15 years? Smart Move would love to know your opinion.
Transports Publics Genevois has awarded a $16 million contract to ABB to provide flash charging and on-board electric vehicle technology for 12 TOSA buses. The innovative technology allows buses to connect to the charging point in less than 1 second and to charge in only 15 seconds at the bus stop.
Daimler's first self-driving city bus has been recently seen on the road in the Netherlands. The Mercedes-Benz Future Bus was tested on a 20 kilometre-long route, part of Europe's longest BRT, in Amsterdam.
BUS2BUS will premiere on 25 and 26 April 2017 in Berlin and will focus on the key themes that will shape the future of the bus and coach sector. This exclusive industry event will take place every two years.
The city of Nyíregyháza in Hungary has decided to enlarge its public transport fleet with cleaner vehicles. The roads of Nyíregyháza will soon see 41 buses fuelled by compressed natural gas and six electric buses.
Part of Transport for Greater Manchester's bus priority investment package, a 4.5-mile bus-only guideway between Leigh, Tyldesley and Ellenbrook was put into service in April this year. Thanks to its unique concrete track, the busway provides super-smooth and rapid connections for passengers.
A study carried out recently by ICB in Belgium shows that a considerable number of people are willing to travel by coach if certain criteria are met.
According to the Indian NSSO's report "Key Indicators of Household Expenditure on Services and Durable Goods", the bulk of the household expenditure on transport was spent on buses and trams in both urban and rural areas making these the most used modes of transports in India.
Scania GB has developed a mobile app aimed at helping drivers and operators to get familiarised with the two-axle and three-axle Touring coach.

What Justice Anthony Kennedy's Retirement Announcement Means For The Iowa Heartbeat Law
Eric Thayer/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Gird your loins. On Wednesday, Justice Anthony Kennedy added one more item to the list of alarming news coming out of the United States Supreme Court this week: The bench's reliable swing vote will be retiring on July 31. If he held any other job, the 81-year-old's retirement would probably be considered long overdue. But as a Supreme Court justice, Kennedy's decision to vacate his seat holds devastating implications for women nationwide. Donald Trump plans to begin the search for Kennedy's replacement "immediately," and has already laid out his short list. The themes that unify his candidates: Deeply conservative, vehemently opposed to abortion.
On the campaign trail, Trump promised to "automatically" overturn Roe v. Wade — the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide up until viability — if elected president. Luckily for everyone, he does not hold the power to do that, and as Fordham Law professor Clare Huntington told Bustle, it's difficult to overturn a constitutional decision once the court hands it down. What SCOTUS can do, however, is chip away at the original decision with the introduction of more restrictions. With respect to Roe, that's where we should worry, because a law recently enacted in Iowa could do precisely that: Walk the legal limit for abortion back from a qualified 24 weeks, to six weeks — well before most people realize they're pregnant.
"We know that with Justice Kennedy's retirement, the alarm has been sounded on the future of civil rights in this country," Fatima Goss Graves, President and CEO of the National Women's Law Center, said in a press call Thursday. "Justice Kennedy's vote has been so crucial, being the firewall at times for what we know is coming our way. And we also know that whoever President Trump nominates will not take that approach, in fact that is exactly his promise."
While his track record skews more conservative than liberal (especially this week), Kennedy — a Ronald Reagan appointee — has cemented critical decisions in the human rights arena. He penned the majority opinion in Obergefell v. Hodges, entrenching marriage equality, and upheld Roe's terms in 1992's Planned Parenthood v. Casey decision. In the summer of 2016, he again proved the deciding vote in another case affirming abortion rights: Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, which held that a medically unnecessary obstacle placed between a person seeking abortion and the actual procedure constituted an undue burden, violating the would-be patient's constitutional rights. Without Kennedy, there remain four justices on the bench — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer — who reliably vote in favor of reproductive rights. Conservatives Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, John Roberts, and (presumably, although his position hasn't actually been tested yet) Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch oppose them.
"In recent years, Justice Kennedy was the key voice and vote to say that Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land, and to reject all of those efforts, whether outright bans, or more subtle shady tactics to make sure that women do not have access to abortion," Goss Graves said. That his departure puts abortion rights in question, she continued, is "not a theoretical concern."
And the timing could not be worse, thanks to a particularly extreme law that anti-abortion activists always envisioned as an eventual challenge to Roe.
Iowa's Heartbeat Law
In early May, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds enacted a so-called "fetal heartbeat" bill, banning abortion statewide at the point when a physician can detect what sounds like a heartbeat on an ultrasound. Anti-choice politicians do not concern themselves with the fact that fetuses don't have hearts at this stage; the sole goal here is to narrow the legal abortion window to around six weeks — and as Goss Graves put it, "That's effectively a ban on abortion."
Legislators in Iowa did add last-minute exceptions for victims of rape and incest, but regardless, many people won't realize they're pregnant at six weeks. Lawmakers know this. And they also know that a deliberate infringement on a constitutional right — to seek an abortion up to roughly 24 weeks — will likely meet immediate challenge. Iowa Rep. Steve King, who drafted the six-week ban, did so with the expressed agenda of placing the law before the nation's highest bench. As he told Politico, "I wrote the heartbeat bill to go before the court after the next appointment at the Supreme Court."
Now, King gets to watch his plan play out. On May 15, the American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, and the Emma Goldman Clinic of Iowa City announced a joint lawsuit to block the measure. As the Des Moines Register reported, the case isn't guaranteed to go before the U.S. Supreme Court: The organizations chose to do battle in state court because they want to keep the decision out of SCOTUS's hands. However, if the case makes it to the Iowa Supreme Court, and if those justices invoke Roe or any other federal case in their decision, SCOTUS could take up the heartbeat law. Its backers' intention, Goss Graves says, is to "get to the heart of Roe."
Iowa's heartbeat law, she continued, could be on track to make it to the Supreme Court within the next two years. It's not the only restrictive law wending its way through the judicial system, but six-week bans do warrant particular pause. In recent years, Goss Graves explained, legislators often attempted to cloak restrictions in access barriers they (erroneously) insisted would serve the health and safety of patient and fetus. "With Justice Kennedy, [as] we saw in Whole Woman's Health, he was able to see through that," she said. "He was able to see through these sham laws that were ostensibly neutral on their face but absolutely meant that more and more women would not have access to abortion care."
But in the current climate — under an administration that has taken a clear and hostile stance to a legal procedure — some lawmakers aren't even bothering with the farce anymore. Rather, Goss Graves said, they're cutting straight to the chase: Laws that make abortion illegal by default.
Whatever the heartbeat case's fate, though, Goss Graves expects it will embolden similarly motivated lawmakers to go for the jugular.
"Make no mistake, [Kennedy's] retirement means the balance of the court will shift," she added. "People will be motivated by the idea that there is a Supreme Court with, as Trump said, a guarantee to overturn Roe."
