While doing research in an introductory Psychology textbook, I came across the artist Bev Doolittle. Her art is beautiful and inspiring. I love finding things I like from other things that I like.

Bev Doolittle’s website.

The New Yorker has this interesting article about itching and its causes with the startling case study of a woman who scratched through to her brain.

For those not aware, I am currently attending the Clarion West workshop in Seattle which is the reason for my radio silence. It’s such an intense experience that I have no interest in blogging about it. Though that may come later.

I am resuming contact to mention that I will likely be using the blog as a way to keep track of certain links or articles in the coming days, so be forewarned.

I hope everyone out there is doing well.

A little while ago I was asked to read a story for the Podcastle site called The Grand Cheat by Hilary Moon Murphy.

The story is now up at Podcastle. Take a look over there or download it from iTunes.

Podcastle, Escape Pod, and Pseudopod are doing really great stuff with genre stories and they’re all worth a look.
