About Me
I'm a writer and mom living in Oakland. This is my personal blog; I write about parenting, cooking, local issues, books, and anything else that's rattling around inside my head.
I am the author of The Millennial Sword, an urban fantasy novel set in San Francisco, and two read-aloud picture books for kids, The Big Booger Bubble and Gail Murphy and the Piskies.

My short fiction is included in the anthologies Fae, Love Hurts, and Speculative Story Bites:

Puppy!

Puppeeeeee!
September 3rd, 2012 at 5:15 am
Oh, how adorable she is! I hope she’s settling in well. The boys must be ecstatic.

She’s very very sweet. I call her Thora the Adorable. Our challenge right now is housetraining! (We’ve had to roll up all the rugs.)

Hey Shannon–
I knew Thora would be a BIG dog, but I’m stunned at this shot–she’s DOUBLED in heft already! Still a beauty. She’s a wonderful addition–you can tell already… Love, Dad

They grow fast! And thanks, Dad. She’s a great puppy.

What a great (BIG) puppy. Thora was clearly the perfect choice. MO

I need to take another picture — she’s even bigger now!
