Eating My Dreams
What the heck does that mean? For me, it means, not letting fear hold me back from a goal or trying something. Let me go waaaaay back to how these words came about. I was asked by my girlfriend at the time what I wanted to do with my life; I was 34 and halfway […]

Coffee Lover not Coffee Snob
I’ve always described myself as a coffee lover or coffee fan; I would not say I’m a coffee snob. Here’s my thought process. I’ll drink any and all types of coffee.

Guilt-Free Coffee
What is guilt-free coffee? Some could say Fair-Trade, others would say substituting sugar-free syrups in place of the heavy calorie sauces. My coffee is pretty low in calories even when I have a “cheat coffee” which is an oatmilk cappuccino these days. My morning coffee is anywhere from 45-65 calories depending on how creamy I […]

Word problems, for me, are not the same as word problems were designed.
For example: If Sally goes to the store with Billy and Sally has $.57 and Billy has $.72 how many watermelons can they buy if watermelons are $.17 a pound? What the hell is this craptastic scenario?! My brain gets stuck. Not on the math—but in the story. I want more of the story. Where the […]

“Where Ravens Roost” is Karin Nordin’s Debut Novel in the Detective Kjeld Nygaard Series
If you could describe WRR in three words what would they be? Chilly. Brooding. Feathers.Why Scandinavian Noir/Nordic Noir?-which title/name do you prefer? Most of my family lives in Norway and Sweden so Scandinavian Noir is something I’ve always been drawn to. I also did my first master’s degree in Scandinavian Literary Studies and my thesis […]

The Phantom Tollbooth
Lethargy, the Doldrums. I was 10 years old and clueless as to what these words meant let alone how to pronounce, “lethargy.” So I went to the dictionary and began my love affair with The Phantom Tollbooth. It was also the book that helped me fall in love with words and literature. It is a […]
