What Have You Done This Year…what do you have left to do?
Madeline McEwen is back with a reminder that should have us thinking about what we want to achieve for the rest of 2019… That is an alarming title, although “one-third left” might be worse. In four months, 2020 will arrive and we’ll count our achievements on New Year’s Eve. How has this year whizzed…
Dream On…

I was going to say it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…well at least it does when I look out of my window but alas it’s only the beginning of November. I have a feeling this winter’s going to be a nasty one. It’s that’s true, probably sometime in January you’ll hear me ranting and…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Last One In June
I’m not sure where June went but it seems to have flown by quicker than previous months. Maybe it’s because I’ve been busy which is always a good thing. Bringing Home The Bear was released on Monday and I was excited to see that All Romance eBooks have it as one of their featured bestsellers…
