It’s now officially my favorite time of the year, and not just because of the changing scenery. For me fall’s the time when I start thinking about and plotting new stories and ideas for books. In the frozen tundra, (and as I’m not one for being outdoors when it’s below zero), that leaves lots of…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-The Final One Of Summer
My favorite season begins this weekend. I love the cooler temperatures and watching the leaves change color…hate raking them though! This week I’ve been working on my sixth installment of the Perfect Pairing series. It takes places in Wyoming in December. Sometimes it’s hard to write about cold weather when it’s still warm but I…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Back Rambling
Seems like it’s been forever since I’ve rambled on a Friday but in reality it’s only been two weeks. Summer’s winding down, days are getting shorter, and I think fall is one of the best times to write and plan upcoming books. I’m currently working on the sixth book in the Perfect Pairing series. They’re…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Do Not Disturb Author At Work
I didn’t get time to post a Friday Rambling last week because things were hectic. The area where I live got hit by a hail storm. Luckily the electricity and Internet stayed intact because there’s nothing worse for a writer than not being able to use their computer to write or see to write when it…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Perfect Day
The weather’s beautiful which means the temptation to sit outside is too hard to resist. I’m lucky to live in a very peaceful neighborhood which is perfect for writing, and while I always write to background music when I’m inside, on the deck all I need is the sound of the water falling onto the rocks in…
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Is It Almost August Already?
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…
