No blog posts in over a year, no newsletters since last December, no website updates since January, and nothing published since I snuck (sneaked?) The Lost Portrait onto Ingram Spark? I have been posting occasionally on Facebook and X, but it’s true—I’ve basically been AWOL. Break’s over! The second edition of Enemy Closer is live. […]

Revenge of the Fifth
Today is Anna Bowman’s 37th birthday. This isn’t going to be a great post in terms of structure, organization, and [third synonym]. It’s more of a free-flowing expression of my thoughts around the debut of Bigger Fish, my writing style, and the reason Anna’s birthday is May 5th. So before I lose you, let me […]
Review: Paint by Murders
Edit: I repeatedly refer to the Prologue as Chapter 1, Chapter 1 as Chapter 2… adjust accordingly. My review starts under the stars below; but first, an existential crisis: Are my standards for what constitutes a 5-star read too low? Are the stars I dish out worth less than those given by more discerning readers? […]
Anna vs. the Cheesecake
This video is the product of literal hours of labor. Script writing. Filming. Editing. Baking. Taste testing. Fucking around. Finding out. Actually, the only hard part was getting my pathetic home network to upload the daggum video. The rest was surprisingly easy and so much fun. I think I’ll do it every Saturday! – AK
Food Time
Everyone loves food, right? I read this post* recently and got a terrible, horrible, ridiculous idea: I should make a cooking video in character as Anna! It’s still hard for me to type that without cringing. At least my face will be hidden, but it’s still the dumbest idea I’ve ever had. Or maybe I […]
Meme Cleaning
This is going to be another snarky post, because my new year’s resolution to be nicer is going spectacularly, thanks for asking. I was organizing my pictures and decided to share the 11 worst things I’ve screenshat from social feeds. So, in order from least awful to awfullest, here we go: Not super awful, just […]
Review: Revelations
Is “Better Never Than Late” a me thing, or a Sagittarius thing? Anyway, here’s my review for January 2023. Read it: Revelations (Glyph Book 1) by Ronin Romero Spoilers: NONE Thousands of years in the future, a rag-tag band of human rebels fights for the survival of planet earth against demigods bent on sucking it […]
Tiger by the Tail
I’m giving Kindle Vella a try to publish Tiger by the Tail. Episode one is finally live as of this morning, and I’ll drop a new one every Tuesday. I like to go back and change things right up until five minutes before I hit publish. This is going to be a big adjustment. Episodes […]
Moanday
I hit my goal weight last year, and like a true 90s girl, I thought that would make me happy. I focused on numbers alone: calories, clothing sizes, and the digits on the scale. Okay, I’m not unhappy. But there’s more work to be done. This year is about strength, stamina, and overall health. I […]
Pentimento
Oh, to be a casually-dressed elf lady leaning against a tree next to a ghost under a full moon. – AK
