Purposeful
I started out the day purposefully: I got a needed oil change, ran to the store and then came to campus. There things began to bog down a bit, not only because there was a lot of email to get to and a call from the Dean but then there was the printer not working….
World AIDS Day
There’s a campaign on to have an AIDS-free generation born by 2015. A lot of work to be done first. It can be done. Commemorate World AIDS Day with something meaningful. These cool Dia de los Muertos t-shirts already sold out but there are many other ways to help raise awareness and help research. I’m…

October Arrives
September was a busy blur: I’m hoping October will be more relaxed, but if this morning’s madness is anything to go by, it won’t be. Argh. The first round of edits on The Mangrove Legacy have been sent off. A load off my mind; the novella “The Big Splash,” Kit Marlowe‘s first publication is scheduled…
Kit Marlowe Visits UnBound
Kit Marlowe is over at the UnBound blog with the Ravenous writers today. She’s writing about cant, jargon and slang in her books and in her favorite novels.
