Hi everyone! How’s the new year treating you? I’ve been busy as always and have tons to share. First, my lovely friend Erica Chapman interviewed me about FLICKER. I’ve continued to receive wonderful feedback (check out the reviews on Amazon and Goodreads) and am excited for what 2013 will bring for my baby. To answer …
What can I say, I’m popular… This time my dear friend June “Bug” Kramin had me answer a whole different set of questions than Richard. So if you’re concerned there are still things you don’t know about me, click away! Interview With Melanie Hooyenga ~ Flicker
As part of my slow-motion effort to get the word out about FLICKER, I’ve done a couple interviews with my friends. The first to hit the intertubes is courtesy of my Novia Scotia buddy Richard Levangie. Author Melanie Hooyenga Answers 25 Questions Be sure to note how he got all clever in #8…

You’d never know the cuteness hiding inside these ordinary-looking boxes, but that wasn’t on my mind when I they arrived. The first thing I thought of was “we need to have a race putting these together.” Isn’t …
I’ve mentioned before that my basement is a complete disaster. Well, yesterday I found an ad for metal shelves on sale and zipped off to my local non-Home Depot store to remedy the situation. After 20 minutes of searching for said shelves, then looking for an employee who absentmindedly told me they’re sold out, I …
I’m so excited! I haven’t bought new furniture since 2005, and that was a couch that I was coerced into and never really liked. But THESE! These I love. One chair will go in the bedroom, while the other will be the office chair. It’s not the most convenient desk char, but who actually sits …
One of the hardest things for me to decide when I’ve moved into a new place is where to hang stuff on the walls. I’ve accumulated quite a mix of art over the years, and Jeremy has added his own flavor to the mix. Yesterday I put him to work between quarters and we decorated …
