Welcome.

This is my blog. When I want to take a break from writing my fantasy series, StarDust, I come here and throw some random thoughts on the page just to see what sticks. Writers need to do that now and then, clear out the cogs, because no matter how much you love the current work-in-progress, there are always other pesky ideas clamoring to get out. But you won’t see my series, StarDust, among the blog stories because until it gets published, it’s under wraps. If you want to know more about the Stardust saga or what DrakaenWood is, then you have to click on the STARDUST link. See it? Right there on the side of the page, below HOME.

This blog is also a place for us, you and I, to chat. Your thoughts are always welcome, maybe you have some cogs you want to clear out, too. In my opinion, listening is just as important as telling, and any writer worth their salt knows that.

Thanks for stopping by, and come back often. There's always some new thing mugging for attention, and your visits quiet the squawkers so I can get some real work done. ;)

BLACK BEE

Photo copyright 2004 by Jackie, Essex, Ontario, Canada–Sphex pensylvanicus It’s mid afternoon on a hazy July day. I sift the earth, extracting slender green things with surgical precision. The garden is my heaven. In it, I play god, choosing what lives or dies. This is where I sift my thoughts, too, and comb the tangles…
