I credit Julia Ember with the … Continue reading FUN with Mia’s Homemade Memes

I’ve seen a lot of other authors hit them-low points in their careers when it seems like the harder you work and the BETTER you write, the less happens to move your message and the size of your readership–your career, itself–forward. And the more you have to WAIT for a YES or a NO, and … Continue reading It’s the Climb

Yes, it’s a Rapunzel story. And let me tell you, I did my research. Here’s a taste of what I read in my effort to strip the Disney version of Tangled down to the most basic version of the tale. It comes from an article on Flavorwire called, “The Disturbing Origins of 10 Famous Fairy … Continue reading RELEASE DAY for IN A GILDED CAGE by Mia Kerick, my first LGBTQ FAIRY TALE RETELLING

ONCE UPON A TIME… I had some time on my hands. Every year, Mr. Mia goes on a LONG fishing trip to Chappaquiddick, an island off Martha’s Vineyard. It’s his favorite time of the year.

This is my Facebook post from this morning. I will add to it below: I have been writing, but I will admit to having been EXTREMELY DISTRACTED by the US political landscape over the past six months.

My blog post of September 20, 2015 attracted a great deal of attention and I’ve been asked to write another post about body acceptance! In today’s post, I’ve extended my discussion of body love to include the HOW TO’s in terms of changing the way you view yourself. A big part of this includes the … Continue reading How PERSONAL STYLE Helps Me to Embrace my BODY

Foul-O-Matic. Insult, swear, and curse word generator. It’s real. Google it. I succumbed to its lure. I confess: I was drawn in by its politically incorrect, crude, and perhaps even sleazy appeal. And I’m not proud of this lowly moment in my word-finding life. But I did it. I am guilty. Okay? So sue me. … Continue reading I’m Guilty… of creative cursing.

Ask my kids… if they, for example, want to try rock wall climbing, they need to ask me and expect my immediate reaction of “Oh, I don’t know… is that safe?
