Last Friday when I wrote my Ramblings it was close to 90 degrees but this week, well, I hate to share the terrible fact that it’s only 48 degrees. At least there’s less temptation to be outside which means I did get lots of work done. I finished the first draft of one of my WIPs, half…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Summer Reading Ahead

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Last One in March
I know I say it every time a month draws to an end but where did March go? I like to think it’s not me aging that’s altering my perception of time, but just that I’ve been busy. I have a new release coming up on April 5th. The next installment in my…
