Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Little of This and A Little of That
Another busy week doing all sorts of things, teaching, doing some edits, taking a couple of writing classes, and finally getting my cookbook set up for print publication.

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Six Days left Till Christmas
I’ve been saying that the whole year’s flown by but for some reason December’s gone by without me even noticing. At this time of year, and with nothing I can do outside, I spend time going through my old files and piles of notebooks. I’ve always kept a file of old clippings from newspapers and…
