Are We Really in the Middle of July Already?
So it would seem! A lot has happened in just a matter of a couple of weeks. The 250th anniversary of the United States’ birth, LibertyCon, and several book publications before and in-between, and still to come!

Nothing Says Summer Like Attic Work!
Somehow two sets of homeowners–us and the original owner/builder–missed out on the fact that the attic spaces above the upstairs bedrooms contain very little insulation, either in the batten or blown-in variety. There’s a bit of rolled fiberglass here and there in the vertical spaces, but that’s it. Someone either forgot to do it as…

Acceptance is love, but rejection is a bitch…
And that ain’t no lie. It doesn’t matter what aspect of life you look at; the idea of acceptance and rejection is psychologically the same. But that doesn’t make the rejection of a story hurt any less than being dumped by your high school crush. I bring this up to start this week’s post because…

Freedom, Fireworks, and fiery new releases
Good morning Raven Readers! We hope everyone survived the 4th of July weekend unscathed. We took it pretty easy this weekend, taking our time working on the garden beds and I did some tweaking to Josie while I wait for my new clutch cable to come in. And, now that it’s Monday, time to get…
