Did you know I have free Patreon and Substack accounts? I try to post there every week, sometimes more, sometimes less. Lately, the post have been about adult ADHD and I’ve been getting some great emails from people about them. You can sign up on either platform, for free, so you don’t miss a beat.
Happy holidays! Thank you for being here. I appreciate you. Hope you are staying warm and safe this holiday season.
My piece, Torment of the Unspoken, came out in Vine Leaves Press’ 50 Give or Take! Always wonderful to be included in a printed collection ❤️
Happy turkey day! I hope it is full of magic moments.
Sunday’s Snapshots: Magic moments read it in The Sanders County Ledger.
Andrew Butters and I were JUST talking about this while recording his podcast. The new episode should be available today, if you want to hear us wax about everything from Native American and Indigenous rights to the writing life.

In collaboration with Thompson Falls Public Library and The Sanders County Ledger, we’ll be bringing you free online writing workshops this February! Every Friday in February, join me on Zoom to do a quick five-minute writing prompt, followed by information about writing like editing, submitting, publishing, etc. What do you most want to learn about? What do you need help/resources with? Or maybe you just want to tune in and hang out with some writers from the comfort of your own home in the deepest part of winter!
All meetings are on Friday at 5PM PT / 6PM MT / 7pm CT / 8PM ET (Or Saturdays at Noon, if you’re joining from Australia!)
Please join us via Zoom:
And be sure to drop me line letting me know what you’re most hoping to get out of the sessions!
Are you still working on expecting the unexpected, or have you moved to embracing it? Check out my latest column with The Sanders County Ledger here.
There have been a lot of requests to require registration for our monthly Zoom meetings as it allows participants to get automatic reminders, an immediate link to the Zoom, etc. So this is just a reminder that we’d love you to join us next month, July, 16, 2025 to discuss The Broken Girls by Simone St. James.
The Flashlights & Firelight Online Book Club will have a special guest in January: Russell Rowland! The critically acclaimed author of eight books will join us via Zoom to discuss his newest book, Be A Man, and take some Q&A. F&F Book Club is free and open to the public and we hope you’ll join us! Flashlights & Firelight Online Book Club with Russell Rowland on Wednesday, January 21, 2026 at 6pm MT
