Six Sentence Sunday has rolled around again: if all has gone well, I am in Dundee. After the long day of travel, I suspect I may still be in bed. Let’s hope! In the midst of packing and tying up loose ends, I was also writing (well, when am I not?). One of the things…

Know-vember: Your Humble Narrator
I want to thank all the wonderful friends who took part in Know-vember. It was a delight to share. I think I may well make this an annual event. Yes, as promised, I will now turn the tables on myself. Don’t you already know too much about me? You must be part of the Cult…
Know-vember: Todd Mason
Todd, of course, shows up here frequently whether as a fellow participant and sometime host of Friday’s Forgotten Books and the host of Tuesday’s Overlooked A/V or just as one of the regular kibitzers. He’s on the left in this picture from a family wedding. 1. What’s the first thing you do upon waking in…
Know-vember
Ah ha! I woke up with an idea this morning to do another round of interviews on the blog (inspired by Alan Partridge of course). I’m always taken aback when I realise how many of my friends don’t know each other — not surprising I suppose with my globe-trotting ways, but I always seem to…

Everyone on Twitter will recognise the various stages in composition yesterday (and thanks, Lucy for the penguin comment). The three years, eleven months, six days, twelve hours and fifteen minutes I spent in Houston all…
Join the Cult of Kaity!
The fabulous Queen of Everything, Stephanie Johnson — my co-conspirator in the Women’s League of Ale Drinkers, the gathering place for creative women — designed these fabulous labels for my fictional cult’s official drink, Stargrove Citrus. The cult idea sprang from a silly conversational thread on Facebook, as often happens (though oddly there were no…
BitchBuzz: Exporting Halloween
The last of my Halloween-themed columns (probably!) deals with the fun of Halloween and veers off into Heyer-ville for no apparent reason. As I am re-thinking my costuming needs for the weekend, I feel absolutely devoid of imagination, so who knows what will happen. Heading off to the Poe conference tonight — maybe I’ll finally…
Arrr!
Avast, scalawags — ye know what day it be!
Soap Opera Digest
Titmuss Street: Babs and Henry finally agree to give the kitchen a much needed make-over, while ignoring Frederick’s pleas for help from under the floorboards. Felix, fretful over his creeping baldness, shaves the cat in a desperate attempt at camouflage. Hilda, however, remains unimpressed and leaves the gallery opening with Carlo, who intimates to Felix…
