You’ve heard of spring rain but where I live we had spring snow today. It doesn’t look like I’ll be heading outside for any outdoor pursuits (like cleaning up the yard) this weekend so Mother Nature has given me extra time for writing. I knew something good had to come out of it. It’s been…

The Monday Writing Prompt-Losing Things
Not sure what made me think of this week’s writing prompt but I hope you have fun with this one. Your character either leaves something behind on public transport or finds something that someone else has left behind. What is it and what are the consequences? Happy writing.
Friday Ramblings From an Author-Happy Spring
Snow’s still on the ground and it doesn’t look much like spring where I live but at least it keeps me inside and writing.

If you’re ever stuck for a story idea sometimes all you need to do is read the news. Here’s one from the headlines. An asteroid the size of three football fields is set to brush safely by earth today (Monday). Think about all the stories that could generate and not just sci-fi ones.
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. This week I began work on my first shifter story. I just can’t seem to leave cowboy themes alone so the heroine is once again sheriff of the county. It’s great trying new stuff because it takes you out of your comfort zone that so many of us get inside of…
