I know I say it every month, but I can’t believe how fast July has flown by. I hate to think that summer will soon be a memory…although I do love fall too. As one class ends, another one will shortly begin and this time it’s on the same topic. Crafting a short story and/or…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-My Summer Reading List Update
For the first time in years, I’ve completed my summer reading list and yes, way ahead of schedule. However, I didn’t finish three of the books on my list. I’m adding three more so I can say that I read ten books this summer. I re-released a back title. The third in my Kalispell Shifter…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-The Heat Goes On
Another hot humid day…you’ve probably guessed that neither freezing cold temperatures or humidity are my favorite weather terms. As I always say, look for a silver lining and both mean indoor time writing or reading. And yes, if I’m being honest, watching Netflix too. This week the short story class kicked off and I’ve…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Short and Sweet

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Time Isn’t Refundable
It’s almost summer (officially), the year is almost half way done so it’s time to look at the goals I’ve set for the year. One thing I struggle with is getting back to the mysteries I started and never finished. I get busy with other writing, teaching, tutoring…okay, it’s no excuse. This week something…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Summertime Reading Begins

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Coyote, Deer, and A Duck
My backyard is a constant source of animal sightings. This morning while enjoying my morning cup of tea, I spotted a coyote, lunch time it was two deer, and mid-afternoon a duck. Maybe I should start including them in my stories. How about you? Seen anything that’s later become a story or part of a story?…
