So, not only does Google maps come on the day of the Royal Wedding (seriously?), but our ghosty man may have showed up for the picture. Look to the far left window: Do you see the man peering out? You may have to zoom in a bit but I'm not editing this photo in any …
Dreaming Harvey
So my son brought this home and I thought, am I raising a little Socialist? Or maybe a future Social Worker? Or whatever? And then I thought, does it matter? My son, in honor of Martin Luther the Kang (name that movie!) was asked to share HIS dream. And I thought his answer way more …
Happy Birthday Indeed!
I must share something quite awesome that happened two years ago. Many will read this and say "what a lovely coincidence" but I don't believe in coincidence and this stuff happens way too often on Planet Jennifer. So January 18th, two years ago, I'm sitting at work and a strange thought popped in my head. …
Zen and Zeppelin
SATURDAY. I went for acupuncture at the San Marcos Community Acupuncture Clinic. As soon as I walked in I knew I was in for a treat. I opened the heavy wooden door to a vast space sectioned by long curtains, soft lighting, and the kind of music that compels me into Downward Dog. There were …
Who wants to win a painting by Christopher Barnett?
I love being married to a talented artist. It means I have purty walls. Badass illustrations. It means when my publicist says "Hey, let's have a contest for your book. Can you think of a good prize?"....I know just the thing. We are giving away a custom portrait. Picked by you, painted by Christopher. In …

“MINDER” by J. Kabay . Chapter One: What Happened to Margaret
Margaret gazed tearfully at her reflection in the mirror. She hadn’t moved for at least an hour.

They were getting noisier …

Preface
It started in 3rd grade. Remember those Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books? They offer alternate endings at the end of each chapter so reader basically chooses how the story ends? Well, at 8 years old I thought the choices were crap. The endings I made up were SO Much better. And then there was Puff the Magic Dragon . …
Man in my Room
Apologies for my absence. It's not for lack of ghostly encounter. They’ve actually been super active lately (and I’ll get to that in a moment) but the truth is, I’ve been busy with my other writing. My fiction. The book I've been writing for seven years now. I swore I’d never embellish anything on this blog …
Deceased Loved Ones: Ramona
Picture it: New York City. Halloween Party. Last week. So I’m sitting on a couch in Brooklyn sipping champagne in a butter yellow caftan. I hardly know anyone but ain’t no thang because I make friends fast and my bubbly was super tasty. I was happy! I’m sitting there observing the crowd when a handsome …
A Case for Predestination. Or Guardian Angels. Or Something.
So I’m driving home…the same route I’ve taken for years. Muscle memory makes me flick the left blinker as soon as I enter the freeway because the far right lane spits me back on the feeder if I don’t. I indicated left and icy prickles coated my left cheek, spreading down my arm and through …
