I am on an amazing research trip this week that has me away from the homestead and blog. I’ve stepped out to soak up the setting for my YA novel Nowhere Nara in the Baton Rouge region. But hey, I’m checking in and sharing a bit of the fun with you! I’m now in New…
Rolling into 2014 not with a roar, but with a constant cough has helped put my life and priorities into perspective. But the cough alone wasn’t strong enough to help me see through the layers of confusion I’d built up around me. No, it took something much more serious. A full month of illness, an…
Ever feel like you simply can’t find a spare moment? That’s been me since the week began. With each passing year the schedule seems to get more and more insane. Life is all hustle and bustle now days. A week and a half ago I’d just come off a family vacation that hadn’t allowed for…
A decade ago, at this time of year, you would have found me putting the final touches on our haunted house. It was a serious production. We had room after room of scares. People were led through the house, into the backyard, and finally through a dark tunnel running down the side that brought them…
Only a god could drag me out of my writer’s cave. Oh! Looky, we have ourselves a god. Maybe I should start at the beginning, tell you how we ended up here… Once upon a time a little girl was crushing BIG time on the almighty god Thor. I can’t say I blame her. He’s…
Balance. It’s something we all strive for in our daily life. I’ve struggled with it immensely this year. Between family, writing and social media, I felt as if I was taking two steps back for every one step forward, and so something had to change. Many writers, like me, have been busting their butts trying…
Nothing pulls me free from two weeks of migraine pain better than a swift smack from Thor’s hammer. (Excuse me if this posts rambles a bit. It’s coming right off the cuff, with the kids at my side, begging for attention.) There I was, minding my own business, curled up in my own little misery…
We interrupt our regular Sunday non-post day to bring you a special Tumblr-styled report. You saw poor Laura Ritchie crying. Thor had gone missing. We thought he had escaped for a wild weekend, or been abducted by his brother, Loki. There was great concern among the Thor Tour followers. What would we do without…
If all you know about the lady Sif comes from the movie Thor, then your idea of who she is or should be is probably confused. #ImmortalMonday is going to attempt clear the confusion. The Lady Sif seen in the movie is based on a character of the same name from the comic books. She…
I’ve been a Zombie Mom lately. Why, you say? Writing work hours for one, the craziness with the family is another, and on top of it all…I got SICK! Seriously, who can afford to get sick these days? But I did. You’ll be happy to know the doctor ruled out the zombie eating flesh virus.…
My new domain is up and I’m just working out a few of the bugs. I invite you to check out the new site and sign up for future posts from that location. Starting Monday we’ll bring back Immortal Monday and I hope to blog twice a week from DebraKristi.com, assuming no unforeseen family complications.…
Fan of Supernatural? How about Greek Mythology? The two will collide this week when our favorite demon hunters mistake a Titan for a zombie. You heard me right – a Titan! Prometheus will find himself on prime time television with the Winchester boys. I’ve enjoyed Supernatural for its inception and I don’t think it’s any…
