Work in progress about Bladerunner 2049 and Philip K. Dick

My next book about my husband Philip K. Dick will include a lengthy review of Bladerunner 2049. My book doesn't have a title yet, but it does have cover art and content. I expect to release it in March. 

Thank you, Andu Soare, for the lovely art work for my book cover!

Conversations with Philip K. Dick

A little help, please

Things are looking up for March 2016, but first I need to get through February. I have huge winter heating bills, and the program that helps with those bills hasn't been funded yet. Winter is no joke up here on the mountain. We get snow, and temperatures regularly fall below freezing.

I've been writing articles f
or eBay, and they are reliable, but it takes them a month to pay. This means that I'll get paid in March, but I'm already behind on my January utility bills.

Cal State Fullerton has invited me to sit on a panel at their Philip K. Dick conference at the end of April, and I plan to accept. I don't drive (I quit driving due to a serious head injury a few years ago), but a friend has agreed to drive me to my brother's house, and then my brother can drive to Fullerton.

My friends and family have helped as much as they can, so I just need a little more money to pay those bills.  I'm about $100 short.

If you can spare a dollar, please send it by Paypal to

or mail it to

Prayers and good wishes are also quite welcome.

Snow on the mountain

It snowed night before last, and the temperatures are falling down to the 20s at night.  I just hope that I can pay the heating bill when it comes in. So far, the cats and the electric blanket are keeping me warm at night, but I have to run the heater, or the water pipes will freeze.

I hope you're all doing well this winter.

Hello again

Sorry for neglecting this site. I keep forgetting that I have a memoir.
I bought a bottle of ginkgo biloba, but I forgot what I was taking it for.
I'll try to remember to stop by more often.
