Seriously,  I don’t know if I have the brain to do a long post. I caught the dreaded GRL cold that we seem to be passing around but damn it, I wanna share the fun we all had.

I met so many lovely people…. And hugged millions more. Really. We are all huggers in our genre.

Speaking of genre, someone asked me what I thought about the M/M genre and it was a pretty easy answer. For me, our genre…. THIS genre is about including everyone. No one should be turned away. We are all neurotic, awkward, awesome messes. We each have our quirks… some more than others. Myself included but more importantly, we each have one another.

Walking into GRL is like a HUGE family reunion with only the best of relatives. Continue reading “GRL 2013: Con and Cold” →

This is Gus Gus. And Neko.

He LOVES her. Like insane love.

She accepts him as her minion.

For all of you who have been following Tam Kitteh’s progress, he’s doing very well. Diabetes is something he’s come around to saying what the hell, okay. He’s gained weight, comes for his shots and testing. And most of all, has taken up begging. This is the view from one of the living room chairs. He will now come and tell you it’s time for him to be tested.

Probably because he always gets breakfast or dinner after his testing.

My cat. He is a furry stomach.

Today is my birthday. I’ve got about an hour and change left of it and damn it’s been a long day. Well a long weekend.

I’ve had good food, friendship and new ink. My mother called to talk to me about her garden and apparently her mango tree which shouldn’t bear fruit for a few years coughed up a really nice harvest and today, ripened a perfect sweet mango. A Rapoza mango. It’s very popular in Hawai’i. One of my favourite mangoes.

She told me she and Dad 2.0 would share it between them, like a birthday cake. I was all…. awwwwwww.

This is the 1000th post of my blog. So funny how things work out. Heh. A good number. A lucky number.

So… a good omen. And well, a chance to say thank you to everyone who’ve let me into their lives with my books. And well, stayed with me through the craziness of writing them.

Thank you.

And we’re having a cranberry walnut tart for dessert. Life is good.

And now a picture of my FIRST cake day… with the two men who shaped who I am during a time when I really needed shaping. My grandfathers. Miss you both. So much love. And kisses.
