I had a very surreal moment on Sunday. It was one of those moments where you almost fall asleep, and then you open your eyes and think, “Wait…THIS is reality? Holy crap that’s AWESOME!” Living here in this house–this house with an Awesome Porch and a Snuggle Couch and a Needy Cat, two of which have their own Twitter…
La Reine Rouge by Alethea Kontis His bones hit the stones with a crack as the guard shoved him to his knees. They weren’t normal playing cards; they all had strange metric road signs on them. And they spoke French. “Brian Keene,” said a terrible voice. A familiar voice. The burlap sack was ripped from his head. On the…
Dude…of course I’m totally talking about me. Yeah. That goober there in the picture with the chibi eyes and the face of a Muppet. The one and only Alethea Madeleine Kontis, a.k.a Princess Alethea. Moi. Yes, Alethea is my real, mom-and-dad given name. The Princess title was inevitable…like a freight train down the track, it was simply a long…
Hooray! Just got notified that "The Monster & Mrs. Blake" has sold to The Story Station! ( bev_vincent has a story up there now.)

Takes me about 20 minutes every day to get to the other side of that rainbow. Music helps pass the time.
I bought the masks at Michaels almost a month ago ’cause I thought they were cool, but I didn’t know what to do with them. I blame Janet Lee ( papillon_enrage ) for putting Wonderland on my brain. I am really, really happy with how cool and creepy they came out. Next, of course, will be Glinda and the…
Just click the dang link already. (courtesy of Diane Duane. Yes, THAT Diane Duane.)
There was a minute — one full, sixty-second interval –when I had that fish out of water "what the heck am I doing here?!?" feeling. I filled out the "Noises Off" audition application with my name and address….and nothing else. It asked for us to list the last three productions we’d been in, and in what capacity. What WAS…
Yesterday morning on the radio I heard that the Discovery shuttle launch had been postponed until 11pm or midnight that night, and I seriously debated getting online to see if I could book a quick ticket to see my folks in Titusville. I’ve seen a shuttle launch live now so it’s officially crossed off my list, but a night…
Shiny things make me happy. I have no excuse. Then again, I’m a princess — I don’t need one. Know what else makes me happy? Clicking through Dixie Dunbar Studio’s brand-spanking new website and checking out all the pretties. The details of the necklaces, bracelets and earrings will tell you what each piece is made of — elements like…
