Ideas for blog posts come at the weirdest times…well at least they do for me. Take today as an example. I’m in the middle of the kitchen makeover project and cleaning the cabinets before they get sanded. The DIY store reminded a product that easily takes away oil and dirt. A great product but…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-August is Almost History
Does anyone else feel that summer’s gone too fast this year? Maybe it’s because I taught workshops until mid-July and had too many projects going on, but I’m in shock that it’s almost September. I hope summer hangs on for just a little longer. I have two new workshops beginning on September 6th so…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Lazy Friday Afternoon
Sometimes you have to take a break from work and that’s what I did this afternoon. I watched some of the Olympics and then some football (as I call it but I know lots of you think of it as soccer). I’m happy to say the team I support won and now it’s time to get back to…
Monday Writing Prompts-Movies
This week’s prompt is all about going to the cinema. Your character’s been waiting a long time to see a movie but what happens when they get there…or do they even get there? Have fun and happy writing.

Monday Writing Prompts-House for Sale
Today’s writing prompt features a character who is selling his or her house. What happens when the first prospective buyer walks through the door? Do they make an offer to buy it or perhaps make a strange request? Have fun and happy writing.
Keep Your Eye on Your Book Categories
Like me, I know many of you self publish your books so I wanted to share a recent experience with you. Well, actually it’s a recent frustration and I’ve still no idea how it happened. First of all, I’m a huge fan of Amazon KDP. It’s the first platform I upload my books…
Monday Writing Prompts-Shoes
Today’s prompt features a character who goes shopping for a new pair of shoes. They try them on the store and nothing seems strange. However, when they get them home, someone’s put a note inside the right shoe. What does it say? Is it a love note or maybe a note begging for help? Lots you can do…
