There’s one good thing about working for yourself and that’s you can switch chores when you need to. Rain is forecast tomorrow so I took two hours off work this afternoon to go pull weeds from the garden beds. How come those things bloom faster than flowers? Something I learned when I decided to freelance was if…

Summer 2016 Reading List
One thing I love about summer is going outside to read a good book. Last year I put 20 books on my reading list but this year I’ve been more realistic. Ten books have made it to my 2016 summer reading list. A few of them were actually on last year’s list so hopefully I’ll…
Summer Reading List-Book Six
I’m not as far into my summer reading list as I’d hoped, but I’m finally moving onto book 6. This time I’ve chosen a detective mystery by a new to me author. It’s called Brass in Pocket by Stephen Puleston.

Gardening is one of my hobbies and…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Summer’s Almost Here
Only one week left of spring 2015. Next weekend I’ll begin reading the first book on my summer reading list. I’m not sure exactly which one it will be. Do you sometimes find you’re in the mood for a certain genre? It’s not necessarily the book you don’t like but sometimes you’d rather read something humorous or…
