If you answered five, you may not be right. The BBC recently posted an article that outlines the possibility of many more senses we have that go uncredited. If everyone has these extra senses, does that mean everyone has ESP (Extra Sensory Perception)? You may go ahead and groan now.

Years ago, when I had a new cover to show off, I would put it “below the fold” — far enough down the page so readers would have to scroll to reveal the cover. That meant I could do a drum roll and pull back the curtains…ta da! Only, thanks to Facebook and other social

This post ran seven years ago, so it has drifted deep into the archives. I thought I’d refresh it and bring it forward. –t. I’m almost afraid to mention Shakespeare. There is a whole generation of readers out there, including my kids, who had Shakespeare in Love shoved down their throats in English class at

I wrote this post almost exactly two years ago. I thought I’d bring it forward, because it has a lot of the information in it and all the far more interesting asides (like Oded Fehr). I’m digging back into the history of the Legion once more, this time not just because my curiousity bump was

I wrote this post in April 2012 and cannot believe it was six years ago now. I still remember watching this particular episode of Sherlock, and being blown away by it. I thought I’d bring it forward, because even though the BBC series is now in hiatus, possibly never to return, the episodes are all much

In the first part of this long post, I described the long process involved in turning any type of fiber (wool, flax, silk, cashmere, cotton) into strands for weaving, to produce cloth, and how labour intensive it was in the past, when machines didn’t do all the work for us. All That Was A Woman’s

Actually, Casualties of War has been available for pre-order for weeks…everywhere else. Amazon won’t allow pre-orders 90 days before the release date, so Kindle readers had to wait a bit. Now the wait is over. The book went up on to Amazon last week. He’s an action hero. She’s an Army Ranger. Who will save whom?
