You can see by the title of this post that I’m in utter shock that July is nearly over. Just today I was thinking that it will soon be the end of summer, leaves will need raking and before you know it…no, I don’t want to think about snow. Today I found the list of…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Lazy Summer’s Day
It’s been a short work week and I have to own up to something, not much writing’s been tackled these last few days. I usually spend a holiday writing, but yesterday I treated myself to a comfy chair and read a magazine. Today I watched the two semi-final games of the tennis at Wimbledon and now I’m…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Release Day for Death Likes Me
It’s the last Friday in June and today was the release day for the e-book version of Death Likes Me. I’m currently writing the sequel and it’s almost weird to revisit the characters after all this time. I’ve even had to create what I’ve called my cheat sheet where I’ve made notes about everything in Niki…
Some People Walk or Run, I Write-A Tribute To My Dad
My father would have 85 years old today. Some of you already know the story of how I couldn’t write for ten years after he died. Many of you also know that he died from pancreatic cancer. While he was ill I was working on what is now Death Likes Me. We’d drive back from…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Rainy Afternoon Perfect For Writing
It’s raining and I’m not sure if it’s because I’m grew up in an area where rain always seemed to be in the forecast but my favorite time to write is on an afternoon just like this one. Overcast and the gentle sound of rain falling as background music. Maybe that’s why I love to set…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-A Short One
It’s a lovely day and my first opportunity to work outside. The weatherman says it’s turning colder and windy tomorrow so we authors have to take advantage of nice writing conditions when we can. And for that reason this week’s rambling will be short. The POV workshop kicked off this week. Next week I have another story,…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-April’s Nearly Over
A beautiful sunny day where I am, and the first one in what seems like a long time. I was tempted to take the afternoon off. Another busy week comes to an end. I finalized everything with Death Likes Me and now it’s being processed at Feed A Read. Also did a couple of edits…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Not Quite Spring
Spring it seems doesn’t want to put in an appearance this year. Well at least not where I live. We got rid of every last bit of snow in the garden and then back it came and it looks like it’s not leaving anytime soon. I suppose it means more writing done inside than out…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Happy April
It’s been a busy week with a little bit of everything which is how I like it. I did final proofs of the galleys for The One and Only which will be released on April 19th. And before I forget, here’s the cover of Death Likes Me which was created by Karen Phillips who I think did…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-March is Nearly Over
It’s the last week of March and I always use the last few days of every month to go over my to do list to see what’s been done and what fell by the wayside. This time of the year it’s all too easy to get sidetracked with things to do around the house and…
