Writer. Dog enthusiast. Velociraptor masquerading as a human female.
I think I'm about ready for August to be over. The fact that it's already November boggles my mind. What did I do with two months worth of time? Where did it all go? I guess I'm writing this to find out in addition to continue my efforts towards accountability (how's that for vague). I... Continue Reading →
Continuing my new tradition of keeping track of my goals from month to month (we'll see how long I can keep this up), it's time to see how April went and what my plans for May are. Before I get down into the nitty-gritty, I know that I didn't achieve as much as I did... Continue Reading →
I've been in Australia for exactly one month today and the homesickness is setting in. It's not that I'm unhappy or not having a good time, it's just that it's been a month since I last saw my dogs. It's been a month since I last sat on my sofa. It's been a month since... Continue Reading →
Over the next few days, I'll recount my experiences before, during, and after the Writing Excuses Retreat on board the Royal Carribean Oasis of the Seas. I'll begin with the flight south. September 16th I look into the eyes of the Man in the Moon. I wonder if he's looking back at me. I've never... Continue Reading →
The first red and orange leaves have made their appearance, though two days ago, the thermometer in the car read 93* F, and it was sunny enough for my pale Celtic skin to burn as we played our last gig of the summer. It used to be summer lasted until the start of the school... Continue Reading →
Tomorrow, Miners Creek will be hosting the second in our series of summer jams at Barnswallow Books in Rockport. We held the first of these jams along with our CD release party and it was a lot of fun. Musicians came and jammed. Singers came and sang. Music lovers came and sang along or clapped...

Geez, I'm so behind on my blogging, I don't know where to begin. There are so many things that have happened, so many feelings I want to share, so many moments I want to preserve. How do I prioritize that bundle of highs and lows? How do I sort through the slurry of triumph and... Continue Reading →
Last year, my band Miners Creek played the second stage at a small festival in Hanson, MA called Bluegrass on the Bogs. This is a great little festival put on at a place called Camp Kiwanee bordering an old cranberry bog (absolutely gorgeous scenery). They're a non-traditional festival specializing in regional bands and by regional... Continue Reading →
The raccoon shambled like a drunk into the path of my headlights. At first I thought it was a cat or maybe a stray dog, but then I recognized its bandit mask and ring-striped tail. I slowed my car to a crawl, hoping it would move out of the road before I came to a... Continue Reading →
As I write this, there are 49 hours left in the Kickstarter Campaign for Miners Creek Band's 2nd Album. We're 104% funded with $2,614, which is exciting. We may not make our stretch goal of $3,000, but I'm relieved we achieved this much. We took a gamble and so far it's paying off. Sure, there's... Continue Reading →
