Deidre J Owen

Oh no!! I saw someone mention this over on That Place and I had to come let you know that you’ve got moots grumpy on your behalf over there. Sorry this happened and hope it gets sorted out!

A deliciously unserious picture book by Deidre J Owen: The Sandwich Cuts Book. Hardcover available at Barnes and Noble, BN.com.

Okay, I have done something profoundly silly and I love it. I have put together a book about...

sandwiches.

Or, more specifically, all the ways I like to CUT my sandwiches. Looking for something unserious and benign this holiday season? This may be just the thing!

New Release: The Sandwich Cuts Books

Looking for something a little something different? You might enjoy my latest release from Mannison Press! One of our favorite things to do as a family is finding little ways to entertain each other. Strange ways. Eccentric. We make up words. I buy weird…

Me with my new weird little book that will be out soon, The Sandwich Cuts Book about how I cut my sandwiches.

Included is a pic of my tweet on Twitter/X that started my journey to Sandwich cuts.

I got book mail!

From the Daily Turkic: Archaeologists in Türkiye believe they have discovered the tomb of Saint Nicholas, famously known as Santa Claus. Pictured is a women down in a hole with a long stick examining an ancient, heavy looking sarcophagus of sorts. The measuring stick is white with red bands. Deidre J Owen: And, with a straight face, measured the tomb with a candy cane.

It’s so annoying that Amazon continues to allow returns on ebook purchases 😕 Readers: do NOT do this. It hurts authors and makes US reimburse you from our royalties.

Amazon isn’t a library. If you want to return a book after reading, help indies out by recommending their books at your libraries.

Baby girl you have the most mysterious leg bruises I have ever seen

*blushes* what, these old things?

I have exactly 2 types of sneezes:

A. “KHAHH!!!” – deeply alarming; startles you and all your ancestors

B. “shoee-shoee-shoee-shoee-shoee” – stifles the explosion but distracts you anyway with its comical execution

Jetsons ftw 🙌 😆

I always had a thing for lydian.

I think we're going to see a HUGE proliferation of #horror over the next four years. We will need the catharsis, and of all sorts: splatterpunk, weird, cosmic/eldritch, folk/cult, Gothic, and bubblegum, to name a few. Horror contains multitudes. Horror can heal. Horror lets us know we aren't alone.

😄 We are silly people.

Christmas pillows on my couch. A red one with deer antlers reads “Merry Christmas.” An ivory one with red snowflakes reads “Mons” and something intelligible. It’s upside down: “let it snow.”

Mons what?

Anybody else play the Santa hat on the TV game?

Sleeping dog: *makes weird sound*

Me, eyeing said dog suspiciously: Which end was that?

My very large hound dog and my big orange cat are both chilling in their own front windows of the house.

Fred and Mishka.

Oh no really?

Spirited is such a fun movie 🎄

Wise to try to get through the holiday week! Hope you find the right tv.

Every year on Black Friday, my hubby and I fondly remember the year we forgot what day it was and accidentally went shopping.

Good times.

Off work late? Hungry, but too tired to cook? Try eating a sleeve of saltines! You certainly will not regret eating sleeve of saltines.

Try it with a smear of mayo! Good comfort food.
