All right, admittedly, I have a few. But they’re the usual, the ones I have throughout the year: write more. Make more of an effort to play with my kids. Eat better, exercise, be kinder to myself. Me, me, me.

Christmas stories

A new story of mine is up at Shred of Evidence: Silence in Ramah is sort of a Christmas story, though dark, as usual.

Okay, I admit it: I am thinking of that borderline cliche in the corporate world, the one about the Chinese word for “crisis” being made up of the characters for “opportunity” and “danger.” It’s late and I’ve had a long week (yes, on Monday). I deserve to think in cliches! (I deserve to think, period, [...]
