WARNING: THERE MAY BE SMALL SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED YET. The kids and I have started watching Midnight Texas. Although the IMBD page lists the "creator" as Monica Breen... all of us readers know it was really created by author Charlaine Harris. (Yeah, that...
Recipe: Pork Chop Sandwich
There's a restaurant in Butte, Montana called Pork Chop John's. If you are ever there, I highly recommend stopping by. The "meat" of the sandwich is a breaded and fried slice of pork tenderloin. It's served on a hamburger roll with traditional hamburger fixings......
Fenrir and Garm, Wolves of Norse Myth
If you've read any of my Nine Worlds (previously called Unbound) series, you know I love to take myth and tweak it a bit. One way I did this was by taking one particular wolf in Norse Mythology and making it an entire type of shapeshifter instead. In Norse Mythology,...

The Midgard Serpent, Jörmungand
If you've read Unbound, you know who Jormun is. What you may not know is that he is my twist on the famous Midgard Serpent, also known as Jörmungand (and a bunch of other names) from Norse mythology. Jörmungand is one of Loki's three children with the giantess...
