Working from home has its pluses and minuses and yesterday I fell into the minus part of the equation. It was a near perfect weather day and the outside called my name. I had lots of writing planned but instead turned to gardening. I have to admit writing hurts a lot less the following day….

Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Rainy Afternoon Perfect For Writing
It’s raining and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m grew up in an area where rain always seemed to be in the forecast but my favorite time to write is on an afternoon just like this one. Overcast and the gentle sound of rain falling as background music. Maybe that’s why I love to set…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Short One
It’s a lovely day and my first opportunity to work outside. The weatherman says it’s turning colder and windy tomorrow so we authors have to take advantage of nice writing conditions when we can. And for that reason this week’s rambling will be short. The POV workshop kicked off this week. Next week I have another story,…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-April’s Nearly Over
A beautiful sunny day where I am, and the first one in what seems like a long time. I was tempted to take the afternoon off. Another busy week comes to an end. I finalized everything with Death Likes Me and now it’s being processed at Feed A Read. Also did a couple of edits…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas
Mother Nature obviously wants me to keep on writing indoors this year because another foot of snow fell yesterday. The trees are coated with white and it looks like a scene from a Christmas card and not spring with flower and buds blooming. I suppose I was a little premature when I uncovered the patio table…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Not Quite Spring
Spring it seems doesn’t want to put in an appearance this year. Well at least not where I live. We got rid of every last bit of snow in the garden and then back it came and it looks like it’s not leaving anytime soon. I suppose it means more writing done inside than out…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Happy April
It’s been a busy week with a little bit of everything which is how I like it. I did final proofs of the galleys for The One and Only which will be released on April 19th. And before I forget, here’s the cover of Death Likes Me which was created by Karen Phillips who I think did…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-March is Nearly Over
It’s the last week of March and I always use the last few days of every month to go over my to do list to see what’s been done and what fell by the wayside. This time of the year it’s all too easy to get sidetracked with things to do around the house and…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s Spring
The calendar says spring but the temperature doesn’t agree. It’s been a bitter cold week but I’ve been busy so it’s just as well I wasn’t tempted outside by balmy weather. Yesterday I completed gallery proofs of my upcoming cookbook. It’s looking good and reading through it made me just as hungry as when it…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s The First of March
March already and almost spring which has me looking forward to doing some writing outside. There’s nothing like a change in venue and temperature to spark creativity. In our yard we have what I call the potting shed. The previous owner built it and left a whole bunch of gardening stuff in there, and yes,…
