This cannot end well. Of course it can’t. But that’s in a week or two. For the moment, just be glad we’re back, Bad, Bad Lovers, we’re back back back! A week off for novel maintenance, over in another corner of the writer brain. Across the ocean, in a...
She waits on the porch, that is, for trouble to come, and come it does. Boy, does it. Of course, you could also argue that Bad, Bad Love herself is trouble. And in this, our first-foot-into-the-tender-twenties episode (20, already!), of our trouble-on-a-slow-simmer...
Time for Sweet XIX! The nineteenth episode, that is, of our most delectable, crunchy-on-the-out-side-and-tender-within, serialized novella, The Will of Venus (Otherwise Known As A Fairy-Tale for Superwomen). Livia’s still up in the air, the Valium and the...
You’ve missed them, we know you have–missed ’em so so bad. So! Fret no more. They are back. Marta, the mother of Bad, Bad Love itself, and Aunt Pearl. Maybe not everybody needs a Marta in their lives, but we all need an Aunt Pearl, and if you...
We’re back, we’re back, from a long break…the holidays, and Livia is used to having most of the month of January off (frequent in the hospitality sector, unless you work somewhere warm with a beach). Be that as it may, water under the bridge and all that,...
Two roses had given up the ghost overnight, a red one and a coral one, gifts from my love. I was up (too) early, to catch a train. They’d been fine, my roses. Straight and tall, heads up proudly, when I’d turned out the light. Yet there they were, not six hours later,...
What does a lie matter, in the great scheme of things? Especially if that scheme includes a higher purpose (say, stopping one’s sister from downing a lethal dose of laudanum on the night of her fortieth birthday…)? Badass Chef Livia, in this Installment...
We’re back, and we brought junk food for your brain! Id est, Installment XVI (oh, sweet sixteen…) of our serialized novella, entitled The Will of Venus (Otherwise Known As A Fairy-Tale for Superwomen), wherein stockings are ruined, flights nearly missed,...
Happy Black Friday, Bad, Bad Lovers, happy happiest of happies! This week Livia the Badass Chef is off. Shopping, she says. With chocolate tarts in her handbag. Whatever. At any rate, Installment XVI of The Will of Venus (Otherwise Known As A Fairy-Tale for...
Your serial is served! In the form of Installment XV of The Will of Venus (Otherwise Known As A Fairy-Tale for Superwomen), garnished with chocolate and a sprinkling of rose water, for your guilty-reading pleasure. Livia gives him the tart, he eats it and he likes it,...
If you want to hear about My Life with Rabbits, what I eat when I travel (no one wants to hear about what I eat at home–boring, boring, kale, broccoli, boring, boring, whole wheat pasta, blueberries, salad, boring, thank God for wine), or watch me try to reconstruct a novel last seen hanging out on a floppy disk twenty years ago, then this is the blog for you! Sign up and don’t miss a thing!
