It’s been a hot week…and it’s getting hotter, and it’s also been a busy week. I got rights back to two stories that had appeared in anthologies five years ago. I usually like to give them a rewrite and polish them up some more. Some I like to give a total make-over. It’s amazing how…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Outside is Calling
71 degrees today and the deck was calling my name. Nicest thing about laptops is you can take them anywhere to work but wasps ruined my plans.
