Over at Patti Abbott’s blog, you can read the final installment of La Ronde, the round robin story in which I took part. The fun of these things is that they take a lot of unexpected twists and that’s certainly the case here. Vastly entertaining. Perhaps the strangest news story regarding wombats ever… It’s possible…

BitchBuzz: How to Ruin the Holidays + Mangrove Trailer
First, my column for the week: if you’re mild-hearted and love the holidays, you may want to skip it. I am particularly proud of finding that picture of Katy Perry: How to Ruin the Holidays By K.A. Laity Whether you celebrate Christmas, Diwali, Hanukkah, Solstice or Yule, you have an equal opportunity this year to…
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…
Cover Me
With stunning speed, here’s the cover already for my as-yet-unedited novel The Mangrove Legacy, forthcoming from Tease Publishing in November or December: Thanks to the fabulous Stella Price, who is not only the art director for Tease, but was also the person who encouraged me to try submitting something to them. I love the background…

Serially Yours
Have you checked out The Mangrove Legacy recently? I only ask because I am thinking about the end of it. It will take some weeks yet, of course, but I can see the resolution now and I am also contemplating polishing it up to send off to one or two places. Like everything I do…
Between Work and Wit
That it is National Poetry Month has not escaped me, but I will not bother to mention it as 1) I am not a poet and 2) poets get far too much attention as it is and 3) there are far too many bad poets who would only find this encouragement to go on. They…
Ring Ring Goes the Bell
Classes begin tomorrow; as usual, I face that fact with a mixture of anticipation and dread. Just like the students, I prefer to be on holiday. Every new semester makes me wonder if I know what I’m doing. Birthday boy Robert (Happy Birthday, again!) says the same thing he always says, “Make them stand on…
More Serial (No Filler)
Yes, it’s Sunday night, so another chapter of The Mangrove Legacy is up. We’re back to Alice and her adventures in the eerily abandoned villa where the mysterious Gilet de Sauvinage has secreted her, while Lizzie still travels with the agreeable Mr Tilney, still recovering from his gunshot wound from the duelists. I have reached…
