It’s been a rough summer, y’all. Still applying to a buttload of jobs. (Buttload is a real measurement, look it up.) Still not hearing back from almost any of them. Since Utah Ren Fest, I have had one opportunity to sell, and we did not even pay off the table. It wasn’t just my jewelry,…

Y’all, it’s time for another life update. But this is a fun one! While I’ve been hunting for a new job, I saw an opportunity to sell my jewelry at the Utah Renaissance Fair and Fantasy Festival! I was so excited when my application was accepted! So, I bought a six-foot-tall canvas teepee and a…

After my time being filled with job hunts and changing careers, I found a day job that allowed me to read while at my desk! And this has allowed me to finally read all of the wonderful books that I have purchased from friends at conventions, or been gifted by loved ones. So, I’m going…

It’s been a hot minute, and a LOT has happened! Unfortunately, the biggest reason for the delays is that I had to change host servers. Bluehost was causing issues, so we had to switch to InMotion Hosting. Which, when you’re running multiple domains, takes quite some time. Especially when the head of Carlisle Legacy Books…

Y’all, I’m so excited! The trailer for my grandpa’s documentary has finally aired, and it’s so cool! This link is to an article from Oxygen about the upcoming documentary, and it includes the trailer! https://www.oxygen.com/violent-minds-killers-on-tape/crime-news/who-is-dr-al-carlisle?fbclid=IwAR2A_9aHljxX1PyfoKqdKSyqspPqUcPcnE67s9jCdBO9qEQONmlTaZCo_5E And I was really surprised to see myself in the trailer, too! I guess the producers really liked what I…

The documentary about my grandpa is coming out in less than a month! I’m so excited!!! I’ve talked about this on my blog before, but my grandfather was a clinical psychologist. He worked in the Utah State Penitentiary in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s. He was working there when Ted Bundy was incarcerated in Utah…

LTUE was so much fun that I didn’t have time to update once it started. I went to Bard for Life on Thursday night, right after my amazing panel on Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Legends and Folklore. We had an audience member from Singapore who shared some awesome insight as to how to tastefully and…

When you hear that there’s an event happening called “Bard for Life”, you’d think of a traditional D&D bard, right? Singing and story-telling, and maybe a fancy outfit.But you know what’s even better than a bard? A Gleeman! While they originate from the same sources–medieval traveling entertainers–they are not quite the same thing today. A…

Y’all, I made my own business cards! I’m so excited! Also, slight LTUE update. I will have an art table on Friday the 17th from 9AM-NOON! I’ll still be around the con after that, but they had to move my table time, because the evening slot I signed up for was full. But I’ll still…
