Welcome to what will eventually be my “full-service” website, including my dog blog and my writing blog, among various other things. Meanwhile, you can continue to read new content at

• After Gadget (dog stuff)
• Bed, Body & Beyond (writing stuff)
• Ability Maine (disability stuff)

All my blogs also cover, to varying degrees, life with chronic illness because being chronically ill affects my writing and other endeavors. It does not, however, define me.
