God & Bees Now in Audio!

In celebration of God & Bees turning one, the Mini Macks and I have put it in audiobook form! Earlier this year, we hunkered down in my closet, squeezed around a mic hanging between clothes, and let the games begin! We learned quickly that audio work isn’t as easy as the professionals make it look. Every whisper and mouth click, shove, and wiggle are recorded right onto the track. Reading with storytelling flair was imperative, and robot-sounding readers might’ve gotten fired until they practiced a bit more.

Mother’s Day and Tangled Knots

If my mother was told the yard rake would have helped, she would have used it. Instead, she pushed the brush’s teeth into my thick, tangled knots and raked. In and out, stops and starts, the hairy tangles meeting the stubborn teeth of the brush’s end. I hated my hair being brushed and chose never to do it. But like most mothers, our choices affected her, and, like all great mothers, she took them in stride.
