In Case You Need it Again


I ran into my neighbor this morning and she let me know that she had a hard time signing up for the BuyMeACoffee offering for the memoir. If you're having trouble, please let me know and I can try to troubleshoot (although me + technology are not super tight, so I'll do my best).

In case you need the link again it's here https://buymeacoffee.com/kario

and to clarify, you can either

  • start reading on Monday and see how you feel,
  • buy me a coffee for any amount you want just once (prices are pre-determined on the site),
  • become a member and buy me a coffee once a month for the duration of the memoir,

So much love coming your way.

I am the author of three books of my own and I am incredibly proud of them all, to be certain. I am also tremendously grateful to the organizations that published those books, and......

A calendar designed by Wouterus Gruijters to be the simplest possible while retaining weeks and months. More than one meton cycle is included to allow lunar cycle referencing. The widely used Gregorian calendar is included for cross referencing as are the New Years Days from various other calendars. I'm a little alarmed that somehow it is nearly mid-June, but super grateful to have gotten some things on my calendar for the remainder of the year. I am still mired in the creation of a new...

I hate marketing. I hate the entire notion of marketing, including when someone starts talking about "personal brand" (makes me vomit in my mouth), and when I get random emails from platforms like this or LinkedIn or DreamHost about how I can Optimize! Your! Audience! But more than that, I hate how easily those things creep in to my consciousness on a regular basis. I started a blog about 17 years ago as a way to share my writing with a group of women I'd met at a writing workshop. We all...
