Who Am I? Tag

I saw this on Orangutan Librarian’s site and couldn’t resist doing it. So here we go!     Meaning of Name My name means dream or vision. It is the Welsh variant of Irish Aislinn. Derived from Asling or Ashling. The ‘J’ usually found before Aislynn is for Julianna, the feminine form of Julius/Julian. It […]

Sept 9th- Sept 16th

Life and Things Well, I had my biopsy this past Thursday. I did end up being put under general anesthesia. The procedure took three hours, and then I needed to stay flat for four hours after that. Now I look like a vampire with one fang bit me…  Here’s hoping they find useful information from […]

Where were you

Where Were You?

©2001, Aislynn d’Merricksson   Where were you that day, standing on the brink of history? A moment flash-frozen in time, seared into the memory, never to be forgotten.   Where was I? Minding my own business, preparing for my day- school and work, work and school, same old, same old, day after day.   Alarmed […]

August 2017

Life and Things It’s been an up and down month for me. I’m looking at having a biopsy on my liver sometime in the next few weeks. This month also found me in the ER for an entire day for no reason the doctors can figure out. I just started following dietary guidelines to help […]

Lorekeeping: Percy Fawcett’s Fringe Archaeology

I’m an archaeologist by my earliest training, and will always have a soft spot for it. I wanted to share one of my most favourite discoveries. Sometimes we don’t actually know what we think we do. We gotta look outside the box. There are times when what seems to be part of the fringe element […]

Weekly Recap: Aug 20th- Aug 25th

Life and Things On a fun and happy note, we went to see our first play of the season, Something Rotten, Thursday night. It was hilarious! Well worth seeing despite the fact I didn’t feel great. On a squee note, I was invited to join the Red Coat PR Review Team, and was approached by […]

Poem: Shadows on the Wall

© Aislynn d’Merricksson, 2017 Shadows on the wall, stained forevermore, ghosts heavy with the weight of the past. To see, to see- indifferent destruction waged from afar. People cease being real, mere numbers on a chart, faceless and distant. No chance to see we are the same. Flesh and blood, hopes and dreams. Gone in […]

Weekly Recap: Aug 12th- Aug 19th

Life and Things This has been a pretty quiet week. I’ve been kinda exhausted most of the week, but I did get lots of reading and reviewing done. Got work on LotT done, though I would have been happier with more. Still trying to catch up with posting tour stops and events. It’s been an […]

Rant: Resistance is not futile! I will not be assimilated!

Ok, so Port Jericho is primarily a book blog and my author home. I don’t normally rant here about things other than writing, and certainly not politics. I hate politics. I find it all petty, childish bickering to be honest. But this world, it’s going to hell in a handbasket, and it ain’t Crowley’s hell […]
