Fools Rush In
Goodbye Mercury Retrograde, And Good Riddance! According to Forbes, yes, Forbes, the planet Mercury, which has an 88 day orbit around the Sun -compared to the earth’s 365 day orbit – appears, during times when it laps the earth on its inside solar route, to stop moving in its east to west rotation and instead […]
Sick Days Suck
As you have read in my recent blogs, some horrific exotic contagion has been spreading through the family resulting in various levels of distress. It all starts with the little flesh devils. On Tuesday, while our oldest visiting grand, Scarlett, was still recovering from her nasty bout of the plague, and her father, Luke, was […]
A Full Moon in Scorpio – WTLLM – All Mule – No Bull
Claire and Honey enjoy full moons. It supercharges their auras. Full moons in Scorpio are known for their intensity. https://www.today.com/life/astrology/full-moon-in-scorpio-april-2024-rcna132397 I know all about Scorpio intensity. I’ve lived it for 67 years. The actual April Pink full moon triad began last night (Waxing Gibbous), will peak tonight and then carry for one more night (waning […]
The Moon Also Rises
Last night was the precursor of the Pink Full Moon of April. The three nights actually start tomorrow, but given this morning’s moon, the next few nights should be spectacular. We are also celestially blessed by the Lyrid meteor shower during this lunar peaking. Now, Hemingway chose the title for his first successful novel, The […]
A Writer Life Is So Much More Than Writing

Statistics
From the moment you come crying and screaming into this energy plane you are measured and weighed. Me, 9lbs, 13 oz., 21 inches. Extra appendage. He, him, his. Your pediatrician spends the first few years of your life making sure you are developing properly, more heights and weights. And then other developmental achievements – spatial […]
Where The Ley Lines Meet – How “1 Day” Became “2 Day”
I remember going to a reading by that brilliant Irish auteur Colin Broderick when the second installment of his memoir, That’s That, was published. It was 2013, and it was held down in a huge B&N in Manhattan. Colin’s friend, Josh Brolin, sat with him on this podium and read selections from Colin’s book. I […]
One More Day And A Wake Up
At sometime after midnight tonight, Amazon will start to ship the orders of Where The Ley Lines Meet. It officially will be published. Fifth book. Job done. The Claire Saga is complete. But is it over? Not sure. There’s always a life line. And while writing is purportedly a solitary achievement, that has not been […]
