Friday Ramblings From An Author-Scrabble by Candlelight
Wow, what a week it’s been. Late Tuesday afternoon, a huge storm rolled through town and we lost power for about 16 hours. Luckily there wasn’t any damage like the storm back in 2013 but it isn’t until you’re without electricity that you realize how much you rely it for so much. No computer, no TV, and no lights…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-It’s Summer
It’s officially summer and time to get started on my reading list. There’s something special about being outside reading. Maybe it takes me back to childhood when I loved sitting under the pear tree in the backyard and reading an Agatha Christie mystery. I released my fourth book of the month yesterday. This one is another historical that was a…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost Summer
Summer starts next week and I think it’s the perfect time to look at the goals you set for the year and maybe make a few new ones. There’s too much pressure on you when a new year starts so this is my favorite time to evaluate (and maybe even re-evaluate), what I set out to…
Monday Writing Prompts-Wrong Venue
Lots of sports events are going on right now and your character is one of the spectators. There’s only one problem. It looks like he or she is the only one in the stadium. Have they got the wrong date? Maybe the wrong venue? How do they make the most of a bad situation?…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Another Week, Another Release
So far I’m keeping with my schedule of releasing a book each Thursday in June. I’m determined I’m going to do it even though some days my fingers and hands have a different idea as I hit the letters on the keyboard. It’s sort of like my own mini NaNoWriMo challenge. This week’s release was an…
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…
