I was interviewed! By a blonde chicken!

We talked about the aardvark, and about juggling many balls of work—massage, potion-making, and writing—and about writing… Continue reading…

People, do we have news for you!

Mr. Aardvark, of Aardvark Essentials thank you very much, hereby announces his upcoming partnership with the fear-taming and inspiration-igniting, Shannon Wilkinson. We couldn’t be more excited. (The aardvark has been secretly crushing on Shannon for awhile, truth be told. Don’t tell him I told you. He’s a bit shy.)
